-Gruesome green?

-No!

-Yucky yellow?

-Oh, no!

-Prickly pink?

Vile violet.

What's going on?

Er, we're just picking a new colour scheme for the rocket.

-It's a surprise for you.

-Certainly is.

-ALARM BLARES

-Oh, dear! No time.

It's Rhyme Radar. Ditty, we must have located more poets!

Yes, Commander. Rhyme activity on Planet Earth.

-BOTH:

-Earth calling the Rhyme Rocket!

Well? What are we waiting for?

Our mission is to collect poems from across the universe.

ALL: One rhyme at a time!

And I'm not sure I want my rocket painting.

Let's get this rocket started

The engine runs on rhyme

Poems are its fuel

They get us there on time

-Stand to attention

-Yes!

-Do your final checks

-Check!

-Go to the toilet

-Flush!

We're ready on the deck!

Wheee!

Crew, blast-off positions!

Don't forget your seatbelt

It's going to be fast

Switch, click, push, twist

It's going to be a blast

Ten, nine...

Communicate.

..Eight, seven, six, five...

All systems live!

-..three, two, one.

-Ready crew?

ALL: Blast off!

-Ahhh!

-Aggh!

Earth calling the Rhyme Rocket.

Crew.

View.

Zoo.

The zoo is where the animals live.

I wish a monkey would live with me.

Where will it sleep?

-With me and Daniel.

-Who's Daniel?

He's me brother!

Two.

New.

Shoes. I like shoes you can dance in.

-BOTH:

-See you later.

We will see you later.

Over here, Ditty.

Just start by putting your colour schemes on paper.

What's your favourite colour, Professor?

That's an easy one -

tartan!

Tartan isn't a colour! It's a pattern.

But tartan rhymes with Martin.

And who in the universe is Martin?

It's his friend, commander.

Martin the Martian.

-A poem.

-BAGPIPES START UP

Many aliens I have seen

Some are blue and some are green

But none compared to the Martian called Martin

Who stuns them all by wearing tartan

Ta-da!

Wow! That's, er...very tartan.

-Not very silver, is it?

-SNIFFS

I smell a rhyme!

I thought so, it's the rhyming pair planet.

Everyone, on the lookout for aliens that rhyme. Hmm...

Red.

Bed.

Red.

Bed.

Do you think these two aliens rhyme?

Yes!

Red.

Bed.

Whoo-hoo! Yay!

Excellent! More rhymes for the rocket.

-BOTH:

-See you later!

Leaving the pair planet.

Heading for a poem next.

ALL: The following colour is a rhyme to my day

Who wants a world of weeping grey?

Gold tinsel sunrise

Deep evening blue

The rainbow of assortments which the sky wizard drew

The magic of colour

The tangerine tree

The yellow banana

Tasted daily by me

The duller the colour

The more I feel grey

The fuller the colour

The brighter my day!

Yay!

Whoosh!

The problem is we've got too many colours to choose for the Commander.

I know. A ditty from Officer Ditty.

Ip-dip-dip My blue ship.

No, that's too blue.

OK. Um, ip-dip-doo, cat got the flu.

No, that's too green.

OK. Ip-dip-doo, doggy needs the loo.

No, that's too orange.

Hang on, you didn't buy any orange paint!

Oh, it's me. Just carry on.

I'm just looking for something. Um...

Oh, toothbrush! No. Nailbrush? No.

Toilet brush? No.

Paintbrush - that's it! Yeah!

Wow! It's amazing what you can do with a paintbrush.

Take a brush

The sky is green

The grass is blue?

You are purple?

The house is silver?

The river is gold?

The sun is black?

The world has changed

Did you do that?

The house is silver! Now, that's a nice colour.

But the poem was about changing colours.

Things you wouldn't expect.

Ha! I wasn't expecting this - blue. Blue, it's, it's awful!

I know, Commander. How about scary scarlet?

It's very scary! And rather red.

Where did we see something red before?

Ah! The rhyming pair planet.

Red. Bed.

Red. Bed.

Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Oh, no! Who's this?

Car?

Red.

Bed. Car?

That doesn't rhyme. Quick! Get away!

Hang on. Who's this?

Star. Yes!

They've found a rhyming pair.

Car. Star.

Star. Car.

More rhymes for the tank.

Full speed ahead!

# Rhyme Rocket!

# Rhyme Rocket! #

-OK, so this one's white, but with a hint of Brussels sprout.

-Oh!

-Put a lid on it.

-Not your colour?

-Ah!

ALARM BLARES

Oh, no! We're entering a rhyme hole!

-Oh! I quite like it.

-It's a rollercoaster.

The correct term is a rhyme hole, and we have just been sucked in.

-Look!

-All that space junk!

There's no other choice - we'll have to rhyme our way out.

There's a rainbow. A crow and a lovely pink bow.

# A rainbow, a crow, a lovely pink bow

# A rainbow, a crow and a lovely pink bow... #

COMMANDER BEATBOXES

A garden hoe.

And some seeds to sow.

And a great big toe!

What's that doing there?

# Hoe, toe, seeds to sow

# Hoe, toe and seeds to sow... #

Whoa! There's a chocolate gateau.

And speeding UFO!

# A chocolate gateau and a UFO!

# A chocolate gateau and a UFO...! #

Oh, I like it, boys. Let's take it to the bridge. One more time!

-ALL:

-# A rainbow, a crow and a lovely pink bow

# A hoe, a toe and seeds to sow

# A chocolate gateau and a UFO!

# Well, what do you know, let's wave hello! #

-Oh, there they go.

-I think we're through.

-That's it - pink!

-Pardon?

The lovely pink bow. You'd like a pink spaceship, wouldn't you?

-I'll get the paint brushes.

-Hang on, I hate pink.

DING DONG!

-Oh, too late.

-'Entering Earth's atmosphere. Standby for entry.'

-Don't panic!

-Ahh!

-Ahh!

-'Standby for entry.'

-Ahh!

-Ahh!

QUIET! I've got an announcement to make!

DING DONG!

Greetings, Earthlings.

This is the Rhyme Rocket ready to collect your words.

DING DONG!

Carry on!

CONTINUE SCREAMING

Put the paint down and put the brakes on!

We've reached our destination - Newcastle.

OK, crew.

Here goes!

# Red and yellow and pink and green... #

Oh, sorry. That's my fault.

I might have rewired the flight deck this morning. Try again, Commander.

-Are you ready?

-But what about the paint?

Don't worry, you leave that to me! Are you steady?

-Hang on, didn't we all decide on pink?

-No, you chose pink.

'The rhyme recruits are waiting for you.'

Get a move on!

Spaceship silver.

Because silver is my favourite colour.

And it's MY ship.
