Stairs

Please be careful what you do,
Or the strangest things, may happen to you,
'Cos when you're walking up the stairs,
Don't do it as if, you have no cares.

'Cos really now, you'll never know,
If their waiting there, to bite your toes.
'Cos biting toes is all they do,
They even bite them through your shoes.

They hide right in the carpet there,
With big red eyes and long black hair.
They have nine legs and feelers too,
They mainly feed on toe jam stew.

So when you're climbing up the stairs,
Please be careful 'cos they're always there.
Do not stop, do what I say,
Or they'll bite your toes then run away.

My Secret

I have this little secret,
And I know nobody knows.
About my little secret,
That keeps my heart aglow.

It's just that sort of secret,
That really is such fun.
I know you'll never guess it,
'Cos it weighs almost a ton.

Now! About my little secret,
I really don't suppose.
That if I was to tell you,
Then would everybody know?

So! If you want to share my secret,
You had better keep it to yourself.
'Cos if you cannot keep it,
I'll just stick it on the shelf.

The Crock

Whilst walking down the street one day,
I was taken by surprise.
I met a little crocodile,
With tears in his eyes.

I stopped and asked this question,
"Hey crock, what's wrong with you?"
He said he'd broken all his teeth,
While eating pumpkin stew.

I put my arms around him,
And wiped the tears from his eyes.
I told him he must listen,
To some really sound advice.

"When you're cooking pumpkins,
Remember to take heed.
'Cos If you want to keep your teeth,
You must take out all the seeds."

The Planet Gluep

Would you like to come with me?
To a strange place far a way.
Just hold my hand, don't be afraid,
The trip takes thirty days.

We'll zoom up to the planets,
And all around the stars.
Don't get upset, don't be concerned,
'Cos I know just where we are.

'Tis to the planet Gluep we go,
The friendli-est by far.
You'll never see a bicycle there,
Nor a motor car.

The Glueps they are a crazy mob,
They do things just for fun.
They like to eat their soup with forks,
And their chocolates on a bun.

They eat their pickled onions,
On toast with chicken jam.
And roasted paddy melons,
With legs of boiled ham.

They will always make you welcome,
But be careful what you do.
'Cos if you cry, or make a fuss,
They'll stick you in their stew.

Elephants

I have often wondered,
And I guess that you have too.
How did they catch the elephants?
That they have in the zoo.

Did, they go on safari?
With ropes and traps and soap.
Or did they catch them with a mousetrap?
And bring them back by boat.

Or did they really advertise,
In the papers near and far.
Saying! Elephants, please apply,
So we know just where you are.

Or maybe they just tricked them,
And told them lots of lies.
Like! Every-day's, ©Macdonald's day,
With burgers and french fries.

I really do believe it,
And I think that you do too.
That elephants are very sad,
That live inside a zoo.

The Hippo

I was walking in the garden,
One bright and sunny day.
When I came across a hippo,
Who was happily at play.

He was playing roly poly,
And jumping up and down.
He was doing backward summersaults,
Leaving footprints in the ground.

I said, "Hey stop that! Hippo,
That really will not do.
You're squashing all my veggies,
And all my roses too."

He said, "I'm really sorry,
I, was only having fun."
Then he poked his tongue out,
And took off with a run.

I chased him down the lane way,
And yelled for him to stop.
I chased him up the hillside,
But I lost him at the top.

I searched and searched most everywhere,
But no where could I find.
That cheeky little hippo,
That made me lose my mind.

The Thing

Do you really think it's real?
Or do you think its not.
I wonder what it really is,
Or is it just a load of rot,

It could be just a passing phase,
Or is it something new.
Or did you try it once before,
And it didn't work for you.

But if you haven't seen one,
Then leave the thing alone.
I don't think it's very dangerous,
So maybe I should phone.

I phoned the local Council,
They said just let it be.
They'll pick it up on Thursday night,
And ship it out to sea.

The moral of this story,
Is! If you find one too.
Just ring you local Council,
And they will tell you what to do.

The Weasels Toes

There was this little weasel,
Who had a little sneezel.
He sneezed so hard one morning,
That he blew off all his toes.

He looked at all his toes there,
A' scattered everywhere.
His eyes were full of tears,
And he pulled out half his hair.

His mumsie came a running,
She stood, then scratched her head.
"Oh dear," Said his mumsie,
"We'd better get you home to bed."

The little weasel cried out,
A sniff came from his nose.
"But mumsie, dearest mumsie,
What about my toes?"

His dadsie said, "Oh gosh dear,
We really are in luck.
I'll get his toes home safely,
In the back of my toe-truck."

The moral of this story,
I guess you know it's true.
That! If you ever get the sneezels,
Make sure you wear your shoes.

The Planet Frod

Now here's a little story,
About a place called Frod.
There are lots of funny creatures there,
The funniest of all are Zlods.

Zlods are rather crazy,
They never wear a frown.
They live in silly houses,
And they build them upside down.

If you chance to meet one,
You'll know them straight away.
They always wear a pointed hat,
And laugh and smile all day.

They are really very friendly,
And they'll ask you if you'll stay,
They'll teach you all their silly games,
The games they love to play.

Their games are rather silly,
Not the games that you would play.
They play, go and yip your yodel,
And crick a crackle cray.

So! If you ever meet one,
I'm sure that you will know.
'Cos Zlods are always happy,
It's the only thing they know.

What Is It

Is IT here?
Is IT there?
Does IT bother?
Does IT care?

Is IT green?
Is IT blue?
Is IT me?
Is IT you?

Is IT fat?
Or is IT thin?
Should we kick-
IT in the bin?

Is IT short?
Is IT tall?
Maybe IT's not-
They're at all.

Has IT got zits?
Has IT got lice?
Maybe IT's cute,
Maybe IT's nice.

Let's make a noise,
Let's make a fuss,
Can we be sure?
ITs' not, one of us?

Do you wonder?
What IT could be,
I'm gunna' tell ya,
IT is! ME.

Give ME a hug,
And kiss ME too,
You'll be glad.
'Cos I loves you.
