Four-Minute Fiction: NAUGHTY PETE

Naughty Pete got to his feet and hailed a boat on the water,

He combed his beard, and bore his comb, just like his father had taught...ah...him.

The river was wide, and the boat was narrow,

It carried a sheep, a coat and a barrow,

It negotiated the passage like a fat sweaty arrow,

And travelled from London to Harrow.

Naughty Pete got to his feet, and shuffled onto the quay,

He delivered a belch, in near-word-perfect Welsh,

And strolled into the pub for tea.

And cake.

The End.
