Nonsense
Alright, alright, so I am a round guy
Looking for a square peg that fits
Long before Chicken little fell from the sky
I've been squished and squashed before
I don't need poking and jabbing anymore
All I ask, is take the square corners to task
Round them a bit, so in it, I might fit
So a round guy that I am destined to be
Can become a square that everyone can see
It's just not fair, that I should have this to bare
For a round guy in a world of squares
Does not get what is called equal shares
Others get peaches but all I get are the pits
I still get around, but riches I have not found
I am the round guy, hanging squarely around
That's it! I demand that you understand
That the round peg that I am
Has here and now vowed war
A four cornered attack, to make a square lack
Edges that hurt, not allowing my girth
I shall deliberate, on how to communicate
If the tack I use can problem defuse
For square I be for all to see
I think I can be the square that I am
So If you see a buldging square, be very very beware!

GOOD GRIEF
If elephants wore cardboard shoes
And tigers tails were full of holes
If kangaroos could learn the waltz
And monkey

Beans And Cornbread
Baby, we might not be, the kind of folk
Who live on steak and taters,
Beans and cornbread, ain't too bad
Neither
Jabber some my say
But my sensible non-sense has its way
To get the point across
Ritalin they could use
To make this sensible

The Name Game
I met a lady in a bar
A lady with a plan
And when I asked her for her name
She said, "Anita Mann."
I said, "I'm
Tonight I'll wake
to see the sun
And say "good morning"
to everyone.
I'll comb my teeth
and floss my hair
Put on my ski suit
