Peter and His Bright Red Truck   by Tim Seston Lucas, Eliza, Miles, Ben and Nate were getting lunches at school, Standing in line with their trays on the counter, following every rule. Eliza and Nate were waiting for pizza and Ben was pouring a coke. Miles was spreading some jam on a sandwich when Lucas noticed the smoke. This is an emergency, please somebody go Get the telephone and let the fireman know And in no time at all with a little luck Peter will arrive in his bright red truck. Henry and Mia, Dylan and Maeve were all playing together outside Dylan was counting; the others were searching for special places to hide Henry lay down in a pile of leaves and Maeve crouched behind an old fence But then Mia yelled, "That house is on fire, the flames are very intense." This is an emergency, please somebody go Get the telephone and let the fireman know And in no time at all with a little luck Peter will arrive in his bright red truck. Fiona, Susannah and Graham were having fun playing tag in the park The sun was setting so they had little time before the night would get dark. Susannah was chasing Fiona and Graham around a tall Maple Tree. From up above they heard a small kitten.  It was just a scared as can be. This is an emergency, please somebody go Get the telephone and let the fireman know And in no time at all with a little luck Peter will arrive in his bright red truck. Davis, Connor and Will took their bicycles out for an afternoon spin They rode around the neighborhood five or six times before they headed in They finished their ride and Davis was telling a joke to Connor and Will When the boys heard a crash and saw an explosion up on top of the hill. This is an emergency, please somebody go Get the telephone and let the fireman know And in no time at all with a little luck Peter will arrive in his bright red truck. So pack up your troubles and forget your woes Here he is with his ladder and his fire hose With his Smokey his puppy, he will save the day Three cheers for Peter, hip, hip, hooray.
