As I ran off the mint green grass
I could smell the freshly baked cookies
My dogs barking in the background
I could almost taste them
So happy as they come out of the oven
So squishy and gooey
your vision, your voice

As I ran off the mint green grass

My dogs barking in the background
I could almost taste them
So happy as they come out of the oven
So squishy and gooey
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
tell me what is best of all.
I should think that you should not,
I do not know what I have thought.
Being tight is not so right,
You and I have little light.
Nothing.
Nothing.
How can we have everything, but still have Nothing?
Why do we spend all of our time Trying?
Trying.
Trying to grab the world but in the end,
We have Nothing.
Not a thing to our names,
But everything we want.
Flash runs in a dash,
he can never catch a rash.
Flash is very cute,
but he is mute.
Flash like’s milk
and his purr is like silk.
Flash chases mice,
but he is very nice.
Flash is always on my street,
but he is very sweet.
He always does tricks,
but he is never sick.
And that’s my very brave
and beautiful Flash.
There is a weird animal who sleeps in the dark.
Even sometimes is barks.
Sometimes he gets out,
and roams about.
I’ll tell you what it is,
it is very big!
Finally, it is a dog.
And sometimes it sleeps in a log?!
Hahaha! 🙂
One day I went to go buy a parrot,
then I went to go buy it some carrots.
I took my parrot home to go play,
we played lots of different games.
I sat down in a chair and asked my parrot “how old are you?”
He said, “grrrr, how old are you?!”
My parrot has really colorful feathers like green and pink.
But his favorite thing is to copy, he also likes to jump, that’s why I called him Hoppy.
He loves me and I love him, we’re friends.
I also have other animals, they’re hens.
He is really nice to me and I’m nice to him.
We’re best buddies, I will always be his buddy.
Eight planets around the sun, listen as I call each one:
Mercury? Here’s number one, closest to the sun.
Venus? Here’s number two, shining bright, just like new.
Earth? Here’s number three, Earth is home to you and me.
Mars? Here’s number four, red and ready to be explored.
Jupiter? Here’s number five, largest planet that’s no jive.
Saturn? Here’s number six, with rings of dust and ice that mix.
Uranus? Here’s number seven, the planet closest to heaven.
Neptune? Here’s number eight, with one dark sport who’s size is great.
Mario and Luigi were brothers and the liked to play with Joshi.
Joshi was the best one at playing games, that made Mario and Luigi sad.
Mario and Luigi were mad.
Mario and Luigi quit playing games.
Joshi was sad because he did not have anyone to play with.
Then Mario and Luigi remembered, to never quit!
So, Joshi was happy because he got his friends back.
Once, I saw a cat
A very fat cat
The cat had a hat
The size of a mat
But this was no cat in the hat
This was the hat in the cat
The cat was starving
When he was not barfing
So he decided to gobble that hat
One day I took McFat,
My cat,
Outside.
He rolled down a hill,
Hitting trees against his will.
When he skidded to a stop,
Out came a cop,
With the request I fix that hill.
I worked day and night,
While McFat got in fights,
And now the hill is worse,
Because you can’t fix a mountain.
