My dad said Beth

It’s time to go to bed

I know dad I know

It’s time to go to bed

My dad said come on Beth

It’s time to go to bed

I know dad I know

It’s time to go to bed

Let’s go Beth

It’s time to go to bed

I know dad I know

It’s time to go to bed

It’s 9:30 Beth

It’s time to go to bed

I know dad I know

It’s time to go to bed.

The Snake with Teeth and Hair

nolee111 — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 02:03:02 +0000

My dog said he went to Africa

And saw a big giraffe

He said he walked through the jungle

And he brought me something back

But when he showed me what he brought

I fainted out of my chair

What he pulled out of his bag

Was a snake with teeth and hair

My dog said to me please Alex do not be alarmed

For although he has teeth and hair and he is quite a scare

He isn’t very mean

And he didn’t make you scream

He’s actually very sweet

Maybe good enough to eat

So even though he gave a scare

I think I’ll keep him

The snake with teeth and hair.

Safe?

I look to the left

I look to the right

Before I ever

Move my feet.

NO cars to the left,

NO cars to the right,

I guess it’s safe

To cross the street. . . .

Early Bird

Oh, if your a bird be an early bird

And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.

If your a bird be an early bird

But if your a worm sleep late.

Best Mask?

nolee111 — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:56:04 +0000

They just had a contest for scariest mask,

And I was the wild and daring one

who won the contest for scariest mask-

And (sob) I’m not even wearing one

Golden Goose

nolee111 — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:51:28 +0000

Yes, we cooked that fat ol’ goose.

You say we were insane

Because she laid those golden eggs,

But you don’t know the pain

Of trying to boil a golden egg

While you just starve away.

If she’d laid ordinary eggs

She’d be with us today

INVENTION

alc111 — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:47:38 +0000

I’ve done it, I’ve done it

Guess what I’ve done!

Invented a light that plugs into the sun

The sun is bright enough,

The bulb is bright enough,

But, oh, theres only one thing wrong…

The cord ain’t long enough.

Complainin’ Jack

nolee111 — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:43:56 +0000

This morning my old jack-in-the-box

Popped out-and wouldn’t get back-in-the-box

He cried, “Hey theres a tack-in-the-box,

And it’s cutting me through and through.

“There also is a crack-in-the-box,

And I never find a snack-in-the-box,

And sometimes I hear a quack-in-the-box,

‘Cause a duck lives in here too.

Complain,complain is all he did-

I finally had to close the lid.

alc111 — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:40:00 +0000

if i had a brontosaurus,

I would name him Horace or Morace.

But if suddnely one day he had

A little brontosauri-

I would change his name

To Laurie

Falling Up

nolee111 — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 22:35:59 +0000

I triped on my shoelace

And I fell up-

Up to the roof tops,

Up over the town,

Up past the tree tops,

Up over the mountains,

Up where the colors

Blend in with the sounds.

But it got me so dizzy

When I looked around,

I got sick to my stomach

And I threw down.
