Wicked Danny, A Lesson For You All

Good little children, sit still in your chairs! And hear ye my story, whose moral is: Do not charge your balls in to adult affairs! Good Ruella found a bottle, a magical genie grants me two wishes- "Well behaved children-" I begin, but before the wish winks into effect: Soccer hooligan Danny kicks a ball that breaks one of my best antique candy-dishes! The dirty worm is swiftly grabbed: "You little roughhousing skunk! You rotten snake!" I request Justice as my second wish, and the spirit nods: "This wimpering, little menace deserves to be drowned in a big scummy pondy-thing of water!" Officer Jolly Joe arrived, Ruella's good friend- To cut short a long story, which included a lot of medling bead-wearing do-gooder social worker hippies: Danny's in a jail cell, his life of dishbreaking at an end. So, Children, behave, and sit quietly there on your fanny! And should you feel the desire to run or yell or kick: REMEMBER THIS LESSON OF WICKED JAILBIRD LITTLE DANNY!!!!

this is funny and Struwwelpeter brought uptodateish and takethepissish with considerable success - i'd dump the "ye" tho, sounds dangerously as if it might be taking itself too seriously, out of place.....; shaggy dog metre.
