Professor Smails

Fingers children

Professor Smails

 

Professor Smails from deepest Wales

Was obsessed with mucky kids finger nails

He wanted to know what really lingers

Beneath the nails of those grubby fingers

 

Beetle sick and snail poo

Bats spit and wee wee too

So he tested in his lab

All the fingers he could grab

 

He found the little boys in Wales

Had these very nasties under their nails

So he raced the chemist in his slippers

And bought one hundred pair of clippers

 

And now he spends every day

Clipping nails for free (he’s mad they say)

Better to remove "kids" from second line.  
 
You have become a bit irregular in other verses too. Was this meant to be? Excuse me but I spend a lot of time trying so hard to get my own rhythm right. I know it is very hard and one word can throw it. All the best -
