JACKS SAUNA
Little Jack Horner had to sit in a sauna,
He’d eaten too much pudding and pie.
His mother said, “Son! you’ll soon weigh a ton
And you’ll be as fat as a pig in a sty.
You’ll have to start slimming so why not go swimming
It’s the best exercise you can take.
Eat plenty of greens, lettuce, cabbage and beans,
They’re much better than pudding and cake”.
But little Jack Horner stayed in the sauna
Away from temptations of pudding and cake.
Now his mother said, “Jack! You must have a snack
Or you’ll be as thin as a garden rake”.
Three hours in the sauna stayed little Jack Horner
Until he’d finally lost some weight.
He came out doing a jig and not looking like a pig
For he’d gone from ten stone down to eight.
Now he was a happy Jack with his waistline back
And looking a slimmer little guy.
“With a little bit of fretting and a lot more sweating
I’m giving up my pudding and pie.
This little Jack Horner isn’t sitting in a corner,
I’m going to do whatever it takes.
I’m going to a gym to keep myself fit and slim,
For I’ve had enough of eating pudding and cakes”.
