Running,
You could stub your toes.
Well,
You're big and that's the way it
goes.
Much worse off the turtle is.
Low slung,
The turtle stubs his
Tongue!
Wailed a monstrous greenish purple DINOSORE
"Jess because my green tummuy's KINASORE,
And I've got the flu...
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo
Mommy won't get me candy from
the DIMASTORE
In all New Hampshire
There's but a single hamster.
Why's that?
Lots of cats --
That's the proper answer.
EATING SONG
To the tune of
UP, UP IN THE TREE
Up, up in the seat,
Where the little kids eat;
Down, down to their tummies
Go al-l--l their yummies.
The cheese and the peas,
The beans and all that,
The proteins,
And carbohydrates and the fat
Ah so! Ah So!
When cherry blossoms
Grow. Japanese
Begin to sneeze.
Ah so,
A-A-A-CHOO!
Karin had a molar.
Someone stole'r
Molar. Who's the thief
Who stole your teeth?
The Cow of Daniel 4
Nebuchadnezzar did what you would never do:
He grew excessively proud of you know who,
So proud
He could not be allowed,
And was switched from Babylonian bull to moo-moo
that's not the tooth fairy...
Consider, please, the case of Oliver Octopus
Who wished to climb a preposterous precipus,
But wasn't created able to jump up it.
We are the way we are, like it or lump it.
I put my little daughter
On the teeter-totter
To teach 'er what I ought'r.
"Life," I said, "abounds
In ups and downs."
Karin loves her waffle
And consumes it by the jawful.
Appetite is good, manners awful.
Rover has his feelings ruffled,
As you can plainly see.
They are ruffled quite a bit.
Almost as much as he.
THE ELEPHANT
is not so awful elegant.
He's big and round and fat,
... and that's that.
My dad's a terrible meanie.
Though I'm only five and teeny-weeny,
He hits me with great big words, big, very,
And tells me go and read the dictionary.
Poems for small KIDS
and everybody else
A certain kid named Harold Benders
Will never never be without suspenders
Once he forgot 'em
And bared his bottom.
So now he always always remembers
