Welcome to Arkansas
Many, many years ago,
When I was 23
I got married to a widow
Pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
With flowing hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
Now my daughter was my mother
For she was my fathers wife
To complicate the matters worse
Although it brought me joy
I soon became a father
Of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle
Then that also made him brother
To the widows grown up daughter
Who, of course was my stepmother
Fathers wife then had a son
Who kept them on the run
And he became my grandson
For he was my daughters son
My wife is now my mothers mother
And it makes me blue
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandma too.
If my wife is my grandmother
Then I am her grandchild
And everytime I think of it
It simply drives me wild
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As the husband of my granmother
I am my own Grandpa!

Homework-What's the Point?
I know that school is necessary
If I am to succeed
Without it we would be all bums
on this we are agreed
But after slaving all day long
At my learning task
I'd like a little rest at home
Is that too much to ask?
Apparently so, for late at night
I work with eyes of glass
Just to hear "Your works not done."
And "Do not sleep in class!"
I got 8 teachers, all of which
Demand priority
C'mon students, lets rise up!
We are the majority
Just one class would adequately
Fill up all my time
But with this much stress, all I can do
Is sit around and rhyme
There's not a teacher on this Earth
Who understands my plight
Their proctors grade their papers
While they party through the night
So whats the point of homework
I think I will rebel
Goodbye happy future!
My grades have gone to hell!

SUGAR
I really like sugar
It's better than a buggar
Very, Very, Very sweet
Without it, I am not complete
I've tasted bad imitations
like Equal and Sweet & Low
When I eat pure sugar
It makes me go, go, go!
I like to take sugar
When I'm really lazy
And when I take sugar
I run around like crazy!!!
Everyone, Everyone, Everyone
I recommend a lot of sugar
Whether your name is Sam Berrybun
or even Daniel Lugar

The OJ Trial as Told by Dr. Suess
I did not kill my lovely wife
I did not slash her with a knife
I did not bonk her on the head
I did now know that she was dead
I stayed at home that fateful night
I took a cab, then took a flight
The bag I had was just for me
By bag! My bag! Hey, leave it be
When I came home I had a gash
My hand was cut from broken glass
I cut my hand on broken glass
A broken glass did cause the gash
I have nothing yet to hide
My friend, he took me for a ride
Did you take this person's life?
Did you slash her with a knife?
I did not do it with a knife
I did not, could not, kill my wife
I did not do this awful crime
I could not, would not anytime
Did you hit her from above?
Did you drop the bloody glove?
I did not hit her from above
I can not even wear that glove.
I did not do it with a knife
I did not, could not kill my wife
I did not do this awful crime
I could not, would not anytime
And now I'm free, I can return
To my house for which I yearn
And to my family, whom I love
Hey now I'm free...Give me back my glove!! |
