Oh, cowardly Custard! Ogden Nash's immortal ditty, which has never gone out of print, remains as funny today as when it was first published in 1936.

Our anti-hero, "a realio, trulio little pet dragon" who likes nothing better than to have his scaly tummy scratched and is prone to fits of weeping, rises up nonetheless when the occasion demands - as here, indeed, it does.

Timeless fun for both old and young, with a video visitor for further amusement.
