I had a little ninja
Nothing would he wear
But a balaclava
And black ninja gear.
But there arose a problem
With the cool disguise -
Nowhere safe to stow away
His ninja sword and sais

I bought this little backpack,
Swords and sais and all
Puny straps you can adjust
For large ninjas and small.
The problem with this costume is
You get for what you pay
Buy for one occasion and
Then chuck the thing away

One plastic sword's already bent
The sais are shaking free
The plastic sheath upon his back
Will crack, I'll guarantee
It's flimsy, but still kinda cute
And this is one I'd get
For wearing out one Halloween
Or maybe to a fete
