Although he was athletic, Jake Dean (the baked bean) couldn't swim...
He was scared of water and he'd never been to the gym...
"This is no good !" (He thought to himself)....
A life in a steel can, stuck on the shelf...
So when Tommy decided to have beans on toast,
Who do you think was delighted the most ?
As the can - opener unsealed the lid,
Jake was finally free from where he'd been hid !
Out he popped in a splutter of sauce,
Skidded on butter, covering the toast, of course...
In he dived, into two inches of melted lard,
First, he tried front crawl, which he felt wouldn't be that hard ...
Onto the backstroke for a length or two,
Jake Dean speeded up as his confidence grew...
By now, Jake Dean was feeling rather clever,
Practising his breast stroke, which he'd never tried ever...
He huffed and puffed a little bit,
Decided on which side of the pan to sit
From up on the cooker, it was a great view down below,
Of the crumbs in the corner and the ants on the go
Quite a feat for a baked bean, who'd always dreamed of being athletic,
Who until now was stuck in sticky sauce, quite pathetic !
