When I take my pet gorilla for a walk
I get a lot of stares
What’s so strange about a gorilla on a leash
Just enjoying some fresh air?
Maybe it’s the leash I use
It is a funny color
Kind of a greenish polka dot
But I got it to match his collar

Is it my gorilla’s hair? I part it on the right
It could go to the left I suppose
But I think it looks alright
We sure do get a lot of stares
When my gorilla and I go walking
I don’t understand why it is
That everyone keeps gawking

Maybe it’s the clothes we wear
We enjoy matching outfits
Except I turned all of gorilla’s shirts sleeveless
(They were just too tight in the armpits)

I guess I’ll never know why everybody stares
Why some people point
Others gape
And some even fall out of their chairs
It happens every single time
And every place we go
I’m entertaining the notion
That I might just never know

We could speculate all day and night
But let’s call this the end
It’s time for me and gorilla’s walk
Just a couple of best friends

Skinny-Tall-Timmy always  wanted to be a fire-fightin’ man

He’s always done his best and gives his duties all he can

Saving lives and fighting fires was Skinny-Tall-Timmy’s goal

Alas They hired Skinny-Tall-Timmy to be the fire station’s pole

Breathing in the air especially when it’s crisp and sweet
Invigorating all the way from trunk to smallest leaf
Magnificent energy sunshining down rejuvenating every cell
Drinking in the moisture from all the revered rain that fell
Feeling at one with all around and everything above
These are some things that I believe
My favorite trees do dream of

This frog has swallowed my house
And now it’s in a frog I live
He seems like an ok frog
and I’m willing to forgive

I’d really rather not live in a frog
And it’s not that I approve
It’s that nobody or nothing
-no matter what
gets to tell me when to move

I’m going to eat cookies for breakfast
And not noone nor nothing can stop me
I’ve made up my mind
It’s the thing to do
Some chocolate chips
Maybe oatmeal too

Don’t care if it’s unhealthy
Or what other thinkers think
A bazillion horses couldn’t stop me
And all i need is milk to drink

It’s my tummy and I say
I’ll fill it my own way
If it’s all the same to you
You can have cookies too

Yet we should be super quiet tho
Because even though i’ll do as I say

If dad wakes up
There’s a slight tiny chance

He might not see things my way

My uncle  keeps asking me what I would like to be
He says i’ll want a career but i tend to disagree

Are there openings for cartoon watchers or maybe just to eat candy?
He says he doesn’t think so
So come up with something more handy

Are there openings for painting designs on the tails of tadpoles?
No? well maybe dig a tunnel through the world and then charge people a toll?
Can i be a pilot of a pterodactyl and give rides upon his back?
How about asking ducks to be quiet when people tire of hearing them quack?

Do people need help thinking of wishes before their birthday cake?
Or can I get paid for making fun of my brother when he’s made a dumb mistake?

Ok wait- I think I’ve got an answer for Uncle that will suffice
I hear dental work is respected and the pay can be quite nice

But I wont be just a regular dentist that wouldn’t be for me
I’ll be an anteater’s dentist and take care of all their teeth!
I’ll floss the ant antennae out from in between their molars
Fill in the cavities and —

What?
They don’t have teeth?
Ugh.
Uncle, ask me again when i’m older
