Bertie's MVC
was up
to the task.
It would do anything
that Bertie
would ask.
He was still a young boy
and wanted
to play
so Bertie took his MVC
outside
one day.
They came across
the neighborhood bully
with a peculiar name.
Larry the Lip
had made
that claim.
Bertie said to Larry
"It's now time
to say goodbye.
Don't be such a baby
and begin
to cry.
My trusty MVC
will promptly suck
the life out of you
and it will be
the last nasty thing
you'll ever do."
The MVC
made
a terrifying noise.
The end came quickly
to one of the meanest
little boys.
The same thing
happened
to Wilma Warthog.
She was a nosey old neighbor
with the snout
of a dog.
Bertie needed badly
to make her
disappear.
The sucking sound
started
and it became quite clear
when Wilma vanished
into a cloud
of dust.
No one objected
or found it
unjust.
Bertie was a local hero
but he could do
much more
and that's what
magic vacuums
are only made for.
So Bertie stepped up
with a dramatic
new plan.
It was to save the tawdry reputation
of the Planet
of Man.
His MVC
sucked up
corruption and crime.
Greed
was gone
for the very last time.
Prejudice and hate
went together
too
and the lack of any pollution
made the skies
blue.
They said
"Bertie, you just saved
the entire human race
and your nifty MVC
really cleaned up
the place."
Although how does a vacuum work
without
a plug in the wall?
You see
the power of magic
is above it all
but a bit of caution
and a word
to the wise
so we can
all be happy
and see the next sunrise.
Please handle
the filter bag
with extreme care
because we know
what has been
sucked up in there!
