Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy - An Autocompleted Children's Book

One of my favourite American bloggers is Travis Jonker, the elementary school librarian who writes 100 Scope Notes.  He's done a few posts with autocompleted children's books, where he starts typing the beginning of each line of the book into Google, and lets autocomplete finish them off.  I thought it would be fun to do a NZ version of this, using Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy by Lynley Dodd.  The autocompleted parts are in bold.

Out of the shadows
and off to see the wizard
went for broke
from Russia with love

and Hercule Poirot
as big as an elephant

with hearts burning
from dusk till dawn.

Bottoms up
covered in itchy bites,
Hercule Poirot
as big as an elephant

and hairdressing
from Donald Trump.

Muffin break
like a bunch of lemmings,
Bottoms up
covered in itchy bites,
Hercule Poirot
as big as an elephant

and hairdressing
from Donald Trump.

Bitcoin
all skill no luck,
Muffin break
like a bunch of lemmings,
Bottoms up
covered in itchy bites,
Hercule Poirot
as big as an elephant

and hairdressing
from Donald Trump.

Schnitzel stir fry
with a very special person,
Bitcoin
all skill no luck,
Muffin break
like a bunch of lemmings,
Bottoms up
covered in itchy bites,
Hercule Poirot
as big as an elephant

and hairdressing
from Donald Trump.

With arms wide open
they see me rollin
past the point of no return
to the forest of firefly lights.
They snuck into America
and they swam right over the dam,
when suddenly,
out of the woods
they
saw...

SCARFACE RAPPER
the toughest tongue twister
in
Toyworld.

"EEEK!"
said Scarface Rapper.

Off with a stick
a waiter and a how to book,
a scatter of stardust
and a clatter of clogs,
went school closings,
with a very heavy heart,
Bitcoin
all skill no luck,
Muffin break
like a bunch of lemmings,
Bottoms up
covered in itchy bites,
Hercule Poirot
as big as an elephant

and hairdressing
from Donald Trump.

I really want to know what you could do with a stick, a waiter and a how to book!

When I checked these autocompletes on other devices they weren't always the same...interesting.

Thanks for the idea Travis, I had a lot of fun!
