Trucky trucky shoe shoe

He knew it as soon as he opened the door,
And heard the chameleon land on the floor
With a thud, and a crack and a sad sort of squeak,
It was quickly dispatched in a gross fit of pique.
But anyway, sorry, it seems I digress -
The important thing is I must confess
To a terrible thing that I did to a duck
And the time that I stole a massive green truck
From Eddie Stobart's central depot
The lorry set off — where did it go?
It went to Leeds, it went to New York
It went to Iceland and partied with Björk
Then it went home for a nice cup of tea,
And a chocolate cheese slice and a biscuit or three.
After that it felt sleepy, so went for a snooze
In one of a pair of fine ladies' shoes.
The suede was all ruined! the insole was soiled!
The laces were frayed and the spring was uncoiled.
A normal shoe would have had no spring at all
But this one was bouncier than a beach ball.
