There was a private eye
a jittery one
when he went on a mission
he jumped all around
Once he went on a mission
he went to the docks
the reason he did it,
was to capture an ox!
But when he did it
he jumped at a sound
the sound of an ox
made him run all around!
When he got back,
the leader said:
“Where is the ox,
you big noodle head?”
He said where it was
and he went to retrieve it
but when he got there
the ox was nowhere
He went back
to tell the bad news
to the leader,
who was in the middle of a snooze
When the leader would snore
the private eye jumped
When the leader woke up,
he yelled at the man:
“What are you doing without the ox?!!”
“I’m coming to tell you, that the ox is lost!”
The leader sent men
to go with the man,
to capture the ox
who was lost at the docks!
They went to the docks,
and saw the ox,
just walking around,
so they tried,
to capture the ox,
but instead,
they ran around the docks!
The private eye jumped,
probably 28 times,
and they captured the ox,
after at least ten tries
They went to the leader,
who said with a sigh
“wonderful job,
all of you did!”
And from then on,
when the private eye jumped,
everyone said,
“It’s nothing, noodle head!”
The leader made sure,
that the missions he went on,
no matter what,
would not make him jump.
