From Tutu to Tintin
A tutu's
A skirt
For girls who do twirls
A toucan's
A bird
Who shouts about stout
The can can's
A dance
All frills and cheap thrills
A tin can
Contains
Baked beans or sardines
And Tintin's
Plainly
A defective detective.
About the Poem
I never read Tintin as a child, thinking them babyish comic books, rather than real books. Some boys at school had their noses permanently stuck in a Tintin 'adventure' and tried to convince me that Tintin was the D's Bs. Nothing that happened either then or subsequently has caused me to change my view.
