Trap Door

To all that remember the Kids T.V Programme Trap Door which was voiced by Willie Rushton

¯DON'T YOU OPEN THAT TRAPDOOR YOU'RE A FOOL IF YOU DARE!.
DON'T YOU OPEN THAT TRAPDOOR

'CUS THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE.¯

Trap Door

Burt’s busy making meals for him upstairs

Boney sat watching, splitting hairs

The trapdoor twitches, then opens wide

Something 'orrible slithers from inside

The monster moves around the room

Hiding in the dungeon’s gloom

Eats all the food that Burt’s has cooked

Attacked poor Boney, when no-one looked

“Where’s my food?” booms the voice from aloft

It’s in the big monster that’s squidgy and soft

“I know what to do” thinks Burt very swift

Getting behind the monster and pushing it in the lift

Burt presses the button, shouting “Food coming sire!”

If his master doesn’t like it, the outcome will be dire

But soon he hears his master, eating with delight

Now Burt can relax, everything has turned out right
