In a land far away, there once was a dire
Situation that caused quite a scare
A contraption had gone awry
And the people were frantically running for their lives

But fear not, for ultimately
A hero emerged quite magnificently
With a plan to save the day
And steerage of the contraption, they took right away

The skies grew ominously dark
But the hero did not lose heart
They worked with all their might
To make everything just right

And when all was said and done
The people cheered and had some fun
For their hero had saved the day
And the contraption was fixed in every way

So children, take heart and know
That even in the midst of woe
There's always hope and a way
To make things right and save the day.
