~~~ Tweedles ~~

You, can't get pins and needles,
From touching furry Tweedles,
But, Tweedles they are very hard to catch.
You never see them in the city,
Or the country, that's a pity,
You can only catch them from a Tweedle patch.

And if you're very quick,
You can catch them with a stick,
And put them in a plastic shopping bag.
Then, you can take them home,
Treat them to an ice-cream cone,
And glue them in a scarp book with some clag.

And, you really must take care,
They, don't climb into your hair,
And make a rope and try to skip away.
'Cos, Tweedle's they are clever,
They survive in any weather,
But, a Tweedle patch is where they like to stay.

So, if you go hunting for a Tweedle,
Don't take a pin or needle,
Just take a bag of onions and a peach.
And, if it is a sunny day,
You'll find Tweedle's at their play,
At the sea-side on a yellow sandy beach.

But, then on the other hand,
Tweedle's have a big brass band,
Where they toot a horn and tweetle on a flute.
And they play the violin,
Rattling noises on a tin,
While eating pounds and pounds of rotting fruit.

So you outa' be like me,
And let those Tweedle's be,
And leave them Tweedle's zac-ly where they sit.
'Cos, you'll only end up numb,
And feeling pretty dumb,
'Cos, maybe pins and needles is all that you will git.

~~~ A Naughty Girl, A Grizzly Bear ~~~

A naughty girl with long blonde hair,
She flew a kite up in the air,
And where it went she didn't care,
Until it hit a grizzly bear.

That naughty girl she tried to flee,
From that bear up in the tree,
She ran as fast, as fast could be,
Before she came that grizzly's tea.

That grizzly chased her down the street,
Over chairs and over seats,
Until he ran her off her feet,
And then he said, "Your mine to eat".

That naughty girl just screamed and cried,
Not to be that bears inside,
But, no matter how she tried and tried,
That bear just gulped, then burped and sighed.

~~~ A Duck And Kangaroo ~~~

There was a silly duck I knew,
Who was married to a kangaroo,
They fed their kids on cumquat stew,
So, they'd never get Egyptian flue.

But, that kangaroo and silly duck,
They cooked their goose, ran out of luck,
Their kids got sick from eating muck,
And eating paint from off a truck.

They lost their feathers and their hair,
They didn't know just who, what, where,
If plums are plums and pears are pears,
Or pigs were pigs and chairs were chairs.

So, they sent their children to duck school,
To not grow up and act the fool,
But, kangaroos and ducks aren't cool,
When it comes to swimming pools.

If, you mix up ducks with kangaroos,
They, don't have webbed feet, or wear red shoes,
And to wear galoshes just won't do,
'Cos, water makes their feet turn blue.

So, kangaroos should not wed ducks,
'Cos, kangaroos they kick and buck,
And ducks are mainly bred to pluck
For eiderdowns, or just pot-luck.

~~~ Lady On A Bike ~~~

A crazy lady on a bike,
Rode across a railway spike,
So, she had to hitch a ride or hike,
Until she fixed her broken bike.

The ride she got was with a friend,
Who's chatter drove her round the bend,
So, I'll bring this tale unto an end,
And, forget about that chattering friend.

But, those chatting friends who don't forget,
The ones who call you dear or pet,
Just put them in some wet cement
Until from chatting they relent.

So, that crazy lady on that bike,
Who rode across a railway spike,
She didn't walk and didn't hike,
She just rode her broken bike.

~~~ The Lady and The Cow ~~~

There was an old Lady that sat on a shoe,
Bippity, boppity, bippity, boo.
Along came a cow and said, "How do you do,
Sitting alone on that silly old shoe".

The lady said, "Cow why is it you ask".
Flippity, floppity, flippity flask
"'Cos" The cow said, "Dear lady your wearing a mask,
That is the reason, I really must ask".

The Lady said, "Cow I have nothing to say".
Skippity, skoppity, skippity, skay
And she rose off that shoe and just walked away
And never at all had nothing to say.

~~~ Tea For Two ~~~

A little mouse and little cat,
Around a teapot they both sat,
With plate of bickies and some cheese,
To eat and nibble as they please.
"Please pour the tea", Said cat to mouse,
"You really have a lovely house".
"Thank you cat that nice of you
I'll use my teapot painted blue".
Cat and mouse they had such fun,
Sipping tea with Boston bun,
Cheese and bickies by the score,
Then cat went home at half past four,

~~~ Don't Chase an Old Cat ~~~

If! You chase an old cat don't pull his tail,
Because that old cat may turn sort of' pale.

He'll scratch you and bite you and screech and he'll wail,
So, unless you are silly don't pull on his tail.

Please take my advice or you'll stir up a gale,
If! You chase an old cat and pull on his tail.

~~~ I am Me ~~~

Of all the things I'd like to be, I'd like to be myself,
'Cos, if I be just who I are, it will always bring me wealth,
Some others like to be someone, who they're really not,
It brings them pain and malcontent
And makes them loose the plot.

So be content with who you are or you may pay the price,
And all the things that happen next, may not be too nice,
You may grow fleece or pointy ears
Or grow two extra legs,
Then all as once your life will be, full of your worst fears.

"Pigs", Who would be a pig except a pig,
I don't want to be a pig, not even a clean pig
'Cos, pigs smell, I know 'cos I can tell,
Every time I go near a pigs sty I cry,
"Oh phew! What an awful smell".

"Lambs" Who would be a lamb except a lamb,
I don't want to be a lamb, not even a wooly lamb
'Cos, being locked inside a gate I'd hate,
And then end up in a butchers shop as chops
To be eaten up with gravy on a plate.

"Chooks", Who would be a chook except a chook,
I don't want to be a chook, not even in a book
'Cos, many chooks are stricken down as chickens,
To be cooked as eggs or wings and legs,
Or roasted up until their finger licken.

"Cows" Who would be a cow except a cow,
I don't want to be a cow, not even a little cow
'Cos, cows are lumps of meat that have four feet,
And they are purchased by McDonalds
To be minced up into burgers as a treat.

"Fish", Who would be a fish except a fish,
I don't want to be a fish, it's not my wish
'Cos, fishes they do fine, until they're caught upon a line,
And, then get stuck upon a plate
To be dished up with a bottle of white wine.

"Me" Who would want to be me?
I am me, and I want to be me
'Cos, being me is right, any day or night,
And I am so nice and cute,
Like the sweetest type of fruit
Just the type who'd never give a friend a fright.

~~~ Mummy, Mummy, Mummy ~~~

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
There's a tiger in our toaster,
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Be careful or you'll roast her.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Quickly, come and have a look,
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
If you leave her there she'll cook.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
You can only see her head,
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Don't mistake her for some bread.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Be careful not to wake her,
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Be careful not to bake her.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Don't wake her from her nappin',
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Or her teeth will come a snappin'.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
What are we going to do,
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
We had better call the zoo.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
Put down daddy's gun,
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
I was only having fun.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
If you have a closer look,
Mummy, mummy, mummy,
It's only just a picture,
From my colouring book.

~~~ There was a Heard of Elephants ~~~

There was a heard of elephants,
Running through our dam,
They all had green galoshes on,
Eating bread and jam.

A hunter he was chasing them,
Who had lost his gun,
So he had some stale crumpets
That he threw at them in fun.

But he jolly well kept missing them
Then, he slipped and tripped and fell,
Into a bog of slimy stuff
That had an awful smell.

So, the elephants came running back
And stomped upon his head,
And smiled when they were satisfied
That Hunter he was dead.

The moral of this story is,
If elephants you find,
Do not throw those nasty things
That upset their little minds.

'Cos elephants are nice and sweet,
And don't do very much,
But they do enjoy their strawberry jam
To have upon their lunch.
