Loser

Mama said Id lose my head

If it wasnt fastened on.

Today I guess it wasnt

Cause while playing with my cousin

It fell off and rolled away

And now its gone.

And I cant look for it

Cause my eyes are in it,

And I cant call to it

Cause my mouth is on it

(Couldnt hear me anyway

Cause my ears are on it),

Cant even think about it

Cause my brain is in it.

So I guess Ill sit down

On this rock

And rest for just a minute

Melinda Mae

Have you heard of tiny Melinda Mae,

Who ate a monstrous whale?

She thought she could,

She said she would,

So she started in right at the tail.

And everyone said,"Youre much too small,"

But that didnt bother Melinda at all,

She took little bites and she shewed very slow,

Just like a little girl should...

...and eighty-nine years later she ate that whale

Because she said she would!!!

Messy Room

Whosever room this is should be ashamed!

His underwear is hanging on the lamp.

His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,

And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.

His workbook is wedged in the window,

His sweaters been thrown on the floor.

His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,

And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.

His books are all jammed in the closet,

His vest has been left in the hall.

A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,

And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.

Whosever room this is should be ashamed!

Donald or Robert or Willie or--

Huh? You say its mine? Oh, dear,

I knew it looked familiar!

Put Something In

Draw a crazy picture,

Write a nutty poem,

Sing a mumble-grumble song,

Whistle through your comb.

Do a loony-goony dance

Cross the kitchen floor,

Put something silly in the world

That aint been there before.

Reflection

Each time I see the Upside-Down Man

Standing in the water,

I look at him and start to laugh,

Although I shouldnt oughtter.

For maybe in another world

Another time

Another town,

Maybe HE is right side up

And I am upside down.
