Dennis was a citizen A denizen, a resident Of somewhere near a motorway A hideaway most opulent Ensnared amid the railway And trail ways for motorcars A haven from the modern day The takeaways and trendy bars But shattered in the summer morn His rest was torn by hammering Invading what was once inert So to his curtains clamouring He banished each to either side He threw them wide with knuckles white And saw in front of his abode Across the road, a building site A certainty within his mind Did slowly wind his purpose tight And with a grim determined jaw Across the floor he took to flight Descending stairs without a care His morning hair resembling A dandelion set to seed In need of disassembling He strode across his dining room And snatched a broom which lay by chance Against the table by the door And held before him like a lance He mounted his beloved bike A cycle like no other made And on a builder set his sight With all his might and unafraid He charged his foe at quite a rush And with his brush, the builder smote And leaping from his trusty steed He did proceed to stop and gloat Before resuming in his spate The builders mate did turn and run To raise the dragon, JCB It roared with glee and wheels spun So Dennis, though his ears resound With just the pound of noble heart Did firmly stand and face the beast His brow was creased and feet apart He struck the creature savagely And stubbornly with just his head And that, according to the news Was what the paramedics said The End

Modern Fairytale
Dennis was a citizen A denizen, a resident Of somewhere near a motorway A hideaway most opulent Ensnared amid the railway And trail ways for motorcars A haven from the modern day The takeaways and trendy bars But shattered in the summer morn His rest was torn by hammering Invading what was once inert So to his curtains clamouring He banished each to either side He threw them wide with knuckles white And saw in front of his abode Across the road, a building site A certainty within his mind Did slowly wind his purpose tight And with a grim determined jaw Across the floor he took to flight Descending stairs without a care His morning hair resembling A dandelion set to seed In need of disassembling He strode across his dining room And snatched a broom which lay by chance Against the table by the door And held before him like a lance He mounted his beloved bike A cycle like no other made And on a builder set his sight With all his might and unafraid He charged his foe at quite a rush And with his brush, the builder smote And leaping from his trusty steed He did proceed to stop and gloat Before resuming in his spate The builders mate did turn and run To raise the dragon, JCB It roared with glee and wheels spun So Dennis, though his ears resound With just the pound of noble heart Did firmly stand and face the beast His brow was creased and feet apart He struck the creature savagely And stubbornly with just his head And that, according to the news Was what the paramedics said The End
