Michael Fassbender
Was quite a big spender.
Not big as in expensive,
But big as in size.
He bought foam fingers,
Top hats and giant bow ties.
He bought inflatable rubber dinghies
And a large French fries.
Though the most impressive thing,
One that caused the biggest shock
Was not his jumbo popcorn
Or novelty stick of rock,
But his monstrous, humungous,
Breathtakingly ginormous
cockerel.
