Bruce

There once was a fellow named Bruce,
whose clothes were so baggy and loose.
One day he walked by a lady he liked,
but his clothes fell right down to his shoes!

Vocabularyless

I don't like my teacher, she talks much too fast.
She uses these strange, made-up words during class:
like- "abacus", "compass", "subtraction", "division",
"beaker", and "hydrogen", "fusion" and "fission",
"prefix", and "suffix", "adjective", "noun",
my teacher's not teaching, she's playing around!
I don't like my teacher, she talks much too fast,
it's her fault I'm doing so poorly in class.

Childhood stuff

When I was a child, I spake like a kid.
Anything I wanted to do, I just did.
Whenever I wanted to play, I would play.
The things that I wanted to say, I would say.

I'd climb a tree and scrape my knee and play all sorts of games,
And now that I'm a grown-up, well, I'm pretty much the same.

Fred

There once was a fellow named Fred,
who had bugs inside of his bed.
They'd wiggle and bite, keep him up every night,
so he slept in his hammock instead.

Lou

There once was a fellow named Lou,
who had not just one house, but two.
When one would get cluttered, he'd move to another,
for a messy one just wouldn't do!

Hot Day in Church

Drew

There once was a fellow named Drew,
who one day was playing with glue.
He glued his pet ferret onto his pet parrot,
and out the front window they flew.

Elle

There once was a lady named Elle
whose feet had a terrible smell!
She lived ever-happy with her smelly ol' pappy,
whose feet were quite stinky as well.

Timid Timmy goes to Spain

I'll tell you a tale of my friend Timid Timmy
who one day decided to travel to Spain.
He heard how in Spain there were places for swimming
where squid dance with starfish and octopus play.

He heard how in Spain when a fellow is working
he hangs in a hammock and snoozes awhile.
and rices with spices and tuna and turkey,
are not only eaten, but eaten with style.

At nighttime the air will be filled with guitar
and women in white cotton dresses will dance.
Their lips will be painted and shine in the stars,
their eyes hypnotize you and leave you entranced.

And Roses and hammocks and octopus too,
are things for which my friend Timmy had yearned.
And when he arrived, Timmy's dreams all came true,
now Timmy's in Spain and he'll never return.

A New Story Which Needs a Clever Name

I couldn’t sleep a wink last night, no matter how I tried,

And as I dreamt of having dreams, my eyes were opened wide.

I counted countless flocks of sheep and then I counted birds.

I counted leopards by the leap and zebras by the herd.

After counting rabbits ‘till one-hundred-twenty-two,

I turned around to find a dragon sneaked into my room!

With fire foaming from his nose, the creature lunged at me;

Lucky thing, I had my sword and shield and trusty steed.

I ran the dragon through the heart, he fell into a heap.

With all of the excitement here, no wonder I can’t sleep!

I took a swim to find myself a place where I could rest,

When suddenly I came across a maiden in distress.

“Oh help me, please!” she yelled to me, “my ship has been attacked!”

“Some pirates took my father and refuse to give him back!”

“But why would pirates want your dad, is he extremely handsome?”

“My dad’s a king; the pirates seek a rather hefty ransom.”

“Fear not,” I said, “I’ll find the king and bring him safely home.”

And so I swam until I reached the place called Pirate Cove.

I took a rusty cutlass from a sleeping pirates grip,

Then silently and stealthily, I climbed aboard their ship.

With anchors up and sails drawn tight, I sent the boat to sea,

Then yelled to all the drunken pirates sleeping on the beach-

“Someone stole our vessel, now they’re leaving the lagoon!

We’d better swim and catch them quick, or else we’ll be marooned!”

So, while the ship escaped to sea, the pirate crew in tow,

I found the poor old king and swam him safely to his home.

I climbed a giant mountain where no one would bother me,

I closed my tired eyes and then I finally fell asleep.

From down below, a voice so loud that it could shatter glass,

Said, “Wake, get dressed and leave the house or you’ll be late for class!”

And as my teacher droned along, I swear she sprouted wings,

Then turned and smiled, revealing rows of sharpened yellow teeth.

“Oh, Help us please!” my classmates screamed, “Our teacher is a beast!”

A lucky thing I had my sword and shield and trusty steed.
