The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume C

One day it was bright
and sunny outside
And Mogey and Smush
brushed their cares aside

"What cares?" some might ask
there were more than a few
Like weeding the parsnips
and cleaning the flue

From cooking pot pies
to toasting marshmellows
Old Mogey and Smush
were two quite busy fellows

But today they embraced
Mother Nature's appeal
With Smush on his scooter
Mogey on his big wheel

They rode over the land
and Smush took the lead
Til they came to a sign
that said "do not proceed"

This would have been magical
it would have been great
If it weren't for the presence
of Hergbert McTate

Hergbert pulled up
he was far from a farmer
In his big wheel all covered
with gold-plated armor

Smush whispered, pretending
to retie his laces
"He's wanted in five counties
for big wheel drag races"

But Mogey had always
been cunning and sly
And as Hergbert peered over
looked him straight in the eye

"I have a challenge,
you big sloppy toad!
How about if we race
to old Cheese Road?"

This was Mogey's cry
as his vision turned red
McTate merely nodded
then stared straight ahead

Then Hergbert sped forward
as Smush yelled in anguish
But Mogey sat calmly
eating a sangwich

"He's getting away!"
Smush yelled to the night.
"He's going to win!"
But Mogey said "It's alright!

McTate may be fast
but he isn't so smart.
Cheese Road is two hundred feet
back from the start."
