Arthur:
Mum,
Can I finish up my snowman?
There so much snow outside the plane.
You never let me make them anymore,
Since I turned 24.
And soon we'll fly away!
The snow is perfect for this,
Both Martin and, Douglas have gone to play.
Please let me finish up the snowman;
I'll knock it down before we go mum.
Carolyn: Code red Arthur!
Arthur: Okay, fine.
*Time passes*
Arthur:
Can I finish up my snowman?
As the plane has been delayed.
We are all stuck here anyway;
So can I go outside to play,
instead of doing Martin's game?
(it’s too mathsy mum)
It gets so confusing,
all these multiples...
I'll simplify it down!
(Fizz. Buzz. Have a banana!)
*G-ERTI buzzes*
*Time passes*
Arthur:
Mum?
Please, I know you're in there.
I think I've gotten locked outside.
I went out to fix the APU,
and built my snowman too,
so please just let me in.
I really hope you’re awake
its cold out here,
and dawn’s not for several hours...
Mum, I finished up my snowman.
