I thought it was about time I added this. This was the first piece of flash anything, let alone animation I did. It was for a uni project, based largely on Tim Burton's Melancholy death of Oyster Boy stuff... I wrote the poem myself and did all the animation. The narrator is Neil Toogood, he has a fantastic voice. The poem is below:

Rubber Face Nigel was a useless young man
He had no talent at all and couldn’t do what you can
One day he was walking in pencil led town
When he slipped and he tripped and fell on his crown

As he rose from the ground, beneath him he saw
A lack of sketching where there was some before
In a bout of confusion he rubbed his sore head
And on the hand he had used was a fist full of led!

The artists of pencil led town cried in joy
“At last we can correct our mistakes with this boy!”
In the town Nigel now had some kind of place
To correct mistakes with his tyre textured face.

But alas the day did finally arrive
When Rubber Face Nigel ceased to be alive
For he’d rubbed out so much all over the place
That small rubber shavings were all that remained of his face
