The poor wee spiky balls, Forever being whacked around, All they want to do is crawl! But no longer was their luck down, For the Express had rolled into town!
Even the pinkest king flamingo, Looked on and squawked, "bingo!" A pact formed between the Clangers and the hedgehogs, To release them from their ball-sport slogs!
It was all quite top secret and under wraps, So Sienna had to lock up the cats, They are frightful gossips you see, And can't even be trusted with their fleas!
Wonky Bill was in on it too, Designing and drawing plans whilst on the loo, Lord Smelly talked nonsense of spells and wings, While Delilah thought up more practical things.
Soon the day arrived, So Aslan commanded for all to survive, The Queen was wrapped up in a beheading, (It started as the Wood Mouse's wedding)
The Flying Mice headed out first, Then Rich uttered the simple counter-curse, Releasing the pink birds and hogs alike, This gave the White Rabbit quite the fright! Sheldon flew out on his time machine, Silent, invisible and unseen, Scooping up all the newly freed refugees, All bundled up into the Express, Now - what a rescue! Designed to impress!
The engines gurgles and churned into life, Taking them off away from the Queen's sharp knife, She wouldn't be happy when she found out, But they were off and all she could do was shout!
