Ziggy The Wiggly Eared Puddlegrub Pup

Ziggy The Wiggly Eared Puddlegrub Pup

Ziggy the wiggly eared puddlegrub pup

Lives life in an underground zoo,

Shyly hiding away from the flutterbug grubs,

And the wooly-winged stingy things too.

-

The reason that freedom for Ziggy has gone,

And the fact that he lives in a zoo,

Is simply because he can no longer quack,

Which puddlegrub pups need to do.

-

For quacking's a puddlegrub pups defence:

Their solitary warning call.

But when attacked from the back, they're unable to quack,

So get stung, then stumble and fall.

-

Ziggy's quack disappeared, when his big wiggly ears

Were spotted, and stung in July.

And a pup that can't quack's always prone to attacks,

And if stung once again, Ziggy'd die.

-

He was stung by a big flock of flutterbug grubs,

And some wooly-winged stingy things too.

Now slowly, he strolls down recovery road

With the vets from the underground zoo.
