Cle Claw Cla the scorpian loves clean claws.
Every time his claws are clean, he is so claw-appy.
So that's why he is called Cle Claw Cla the scorpian.

A snake got baked
Baked into a cake
Snake cake was fake
For God's sake!
I said, "I'll take that cake.
I'll taste that cake.
Snake is my favourite kind of cake."
Grace

A snake sat on a rake and ate a cake.
The cake was fake so the snake had a tummy ache.

A cop stole a mop and a top from Pop.
Then Pop went to the shop to get another mop and top.
