The Turtle And The Poodle Part 2
Poetry By Will Dugan

The turtle named Kaboodle
and the poodle that could doodle
met a chicken who had little but a noodle.
Wow! said the poodle that could doodle.
The chick's got more than a little.
Her little's in the middle,
It's quite fit and fiddle.
I wonder if she's smart enough to huddle.

So the turtle named Kaboodle
and the poodle that could doodle
huddled with the chicken and her noodle.
Wow! said turtle named Kaboodle.
I really dig this chicken and her noodle.
The noodle knows to huddle.
And the noodle's not befuddled.
I wonder if the chicken can jump hurdles.

Oh my, oh yes - it's just as you guessed ...

The turtle named Kaboodle
and the poodle that could doodle
jumped hurdles with the chicken with the noodle.

Then the turtle named Kaboodle
and the chicken who had little but a noodle
posed for the poodle that could doodle.
And the poodle that could doodle doodled,
and he doodled,
and he doodled,
and he doodled.
He doodled oodles and boodles of huddles and hurdles,
He doodled chickens with noodles and puddles with turtles,
He doodled doodling poodles ...
and hurtling noodles ...
all drawn together with huddles and hurdles and puddles and turtles and ...

But wait, oh yes - I know you have guessed -
We just have to do some verse for the puddle.

And it came to pass,
The turtle named Kaboodle
and the poodle that could doodle
and the chicken who had little but a noodle
fell into a puddle.
But the chicken had a noodle - so the chicken's not befuddled.
And the chicken figured out how to get out of the puddle.

Then, the chicken who had little but a noodle
looked down upon the turtle named Kaboodle and the poodle that could doodle
as they huddled in the puddle looking up at the chicken and her noodle.

So the chicken with little but a noodle jumped back into the puddle
and they all commenced to huddle right in the middle of the puddle.

But then disaster struck (so sad, so sad, too bad, too bad)

As the turtle named Kaboodle
and the poodle that could doodle
huddled with the chicken who had little but a noodle -
The poodle that could doodle got befuddled
and ate our hero chicken's little noodle.

So they're muddled in the puddle - all of them befuddled -
The turtle named Kaboodle.
The poodle that could doodle,
And the poor little chicken who now has been denoodled.
