Shoe Talk
There’s no one to talk with
I’ll talk with my shoe
He does have a tongue
And an inner soul, too
He’s awfully well polished
So straightlaced and neat
(But he talks about nothing but feet-feet-feet)
Shel Silverstein
Arrows
I shot an arrow towards the sky
It hit a white cloud floating by
The cloud fell to the dying shore
I don’t shoot arrows anymore

Hot Dog
I have a hot dog for a pet,
The only kind my folks let me get
He does smell sort of bad
And yet,
He absolutely never gets the sofa wet
We have a butcher for a vet
The strangest vet you ever met
Guess we’re the weirdest family yet
To have a hot dog for a pet

Hat
Teddy said it was a hat,
So I put it on
Now Dad is saying
“Where the heck’s the toilet plunger gone?”

Glub Glub
He thought it was the biggest puddle
He’d go splashing through.
Turns out it was
The Smallest Lake-
And the deepest too
They say that
Carrots are good for your eyes
They swear that they improve your sight
But I’m seein worse than I did last night
You think maybe I ain’t usin em right ?

The Man in The Iron Pail Mask
He’s the man in the iron pail mask
He can do the most difficult task
He can duel, He can joust
He can charge, He can chase
He can climb, He can rhyme
He can wrestle, and race
He’ll show you his courage
But never his face
Now matter how often you ask
He’s the Brave and the Fearless
The usually Tearless
Man in the Iron Pail Mask

Crowded Tub
There’s too many kids in this tub
There’s too many elbows to scrub
I just washed a behind that I’m sure wasn’t mine
There’s too many kids in this tub

Working on a little photo series, which unfortunately led to the demise of this little cloud
