I Was a Teenage Hippo
*********************
I woke up in the morning,
sratched an itch upon my knee,
walked into the bathroom,
you'll never believe what I did see.
A hippo was what I saw
sitting right inside my mirror.
I blinked and rubbed my eyes
to make my vision clearer.
But no! It was there!
As clear as it could be.
Not possible! No way!
That hippo cant be.....me?
I opened my mouth
and tried to scream
but the sound that came out
like and almighty roar, it did seem.
What in the world was I to do?
Who in the universe could help?
I wanted to scream for my mommy
but all I could do was yelp.
I began to look all around me
for something to help me in my plite.
Much to my dismay, Id be sad all the day,
my tooth brush was all that was in site.
I ran and jumped in the shower
and scrubbed my face with shampoo.
I know its meant only for hair,
but hey! What would you do?!
I jumped out and grabbed a towel
and dried my face as fast as I could.
I crossed my fingers and ran to the mirror
but still, a hippo there stood.
I let out a sigh
and sat on a stool.
"Oh well" I said.
"I guess this means I can finally get the pool."
Archibald Franklin
****************
Archibald Franklin lived alone in the jungle
and he ran around naked all day.
He was heading for France for the summer
but had somehow got lost on the way.
His boat sunk to the bottom of the ocean
when he was hit by a raging monsoon.
He swam to an island of small proportion
and began his life as a baboon.
He went to love with the monkeys,
for they were as naked as he.
At day they would eat one anothers fleas,
at night, slept up in a tree.
One day, from the ocean
came a boat,
carrying a chicken, some pigs,
a llama, and a goat.
But whence they reached the shore,
oh, to see what they did see,
a naked Archibald Franklin,
they hurried back out to sea.
Frank the Furter
***************
Frank was a hotdog.
He lived in my fridge.
He used to have a girlfriend,
a corndog named midge.
But once they went out boating,
on the big see of Hollardup,
when a shark suddenly came
and gobbled Midge right up.
Now, me and Frank sit
and watch British comadies all day.
I try to get him to come outside
but he never wants to play.
Hes getting skinnier and skinnier,
you can tell by the way he looks.
Hasnt bathed in weeks,
and reads depressing books.
I was concered about my little friend,
oh yes, I really was.
I decided what I had to do
and jumped upon the bus.
I rode down town to the grocery store
on Eggleston Greensdale stree,
ran to the Frozen Food isle
and grabbed my little treat.
I ran back to my house
and fround Frank threatening to jump from a ledge,
but I pulled out my suprise and said
"This is Helpga, the Polish sausage."
His eyes met hers, hers met his.
It was love at first site.
I was ever so happy when he asked
if she'd go for a movie and a bite.
The Wa Nan Yuan (sock man)
**************************
I was sitting on my couch
checking on my stocks
when I looked at my feet and realized
I wasnt wearing socks!
"Oh my" I thought, "Oh dear!
What in the world was I thinking?
I better go and get some socks
and stop sitting around here dinking!"
So I ran up the stairs
and headed for my room,
ran into a llama,
nearly tripped over a broom.
I ran for my drawer
throwing dirty clothes aside.
But when I opened it, much to my suprise,
there was a little chinese man inside.
"Ne how ma" has said "Ne how ma!
Greetings and good day!
Like a yummy little eggroll
is how you look today!"
I stared at him, confused.
"Um, hello" I said to the little man.
He replyed, with a smile,
"My name is Wa Nan Yuan."
"I am the keeper of your socks.
I jeep them in their pairs.
You havent an idea of how happy I was
when I heard you coming up the stairs.
I work very hard, you see,
to keep your socks in order:
the reds, the whites, the yellows, the blues,
most people would charge a quarter!
But not I", he said,
"For socks are my life!
I havent any family,
not even a little wife.
So here you are,
a pair of socks,
have a nice day
and get back to your stocks."
I put on the pair
and walked out of the room,
I was still so bemuzed
I nearly tripped over a broom.
The Man in My Milk
*****************
Milk is good for the body
or so thats what they say.
But once I went to take a drink,
it happened just the other day.
There was a little man
swimming right inside my cup.
He looked up and waved at me
and said "I am Finstertinckle Mcdupp!"
But in my great suprise,
for I could not believe my eyes,
I began to wonder if pigs could fly
and he asked if I had any home made pie.
I answered yes, much to my dread.
I think I might have lost my head.
But handed him a plate none-the-less.
He ate it, and challenged me to a game of chess.
I poured the milk down the sink drain,
turned on the disposal
and listened to squeals of pain.
Milk is good for the body,
or so thats what they say.
Well, its been three years since that happened
and I never drink milk to this day.
