Pod!

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme, there lived a witch and a wizard, and a small, green lizard called Pod

The witch and the wizard and the small green lizard lived in Tanglewood
Where the witch and the wizard were up to no good!

The witch played a trick on a little baby chick, as it hatched in the midday sun.
She whispered to the bird, something silly and absurd, it made the signet jump up and run.

Until Pod came by, with a twinkle in his eye.
Lifted the bird high in the sky and sang,
“Swans can fly! Swans can fly!”

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme, there lived a witch and a wizard, and a small, green lizard called Pod
