The Twister of Fear
The scariest ride at the fair this year,
Was the fastest ride, The Twister of Fear.
Reaching speeds that were death defying,
Absolutely, positively terrifying.
I yelled, I trembled, I shuddered, I cried,
I screamed, I shook, I was petrified!
My face was drenched from sweat and tears,
My pulse was pounding inside my ears.
I covered my eyes, I cringed, I shivered,
I held my breath, I gasped, I quivered.
I almost threw up and that’s the truth,
But, bravely, I stepped up to the ticket booth.

Celery
Have you heard about the celery stalk,
That grew a mouth and learned to talk?
It learned to sing a splendid ballad,
But still ended up in someone’s salad.

Super Hero?
I’ve got the cape,
And a super tan.
I’ve got the tights,
I’m Superman!
I’ve got an “S”
On my super chest.
I know I’m better,
Than the super rest!
I climb so high,
With ease, yes I can!
Now watch me fly...
I’m Superman!!
But I fall straight down,
What a stupid plan!
Oh yeah, I forgot,
I’m Super Stan.

Carrot Top
I thought they called him Carrot Top,
Because his hair was red.
But I soon found out,
What that name was about,
When he removed his hat from his head.

Flying Pieces of Macaroni & Cheese!
The dog’s gone and done it! I see that he’s,
Made a mess from his ears way down to his knees!
Won’t somebody try to stop him, please?
He’s eaten up all my macaroni and cheese!
I gave that naughty dog a squeeze.
With a great big mouthful, he began to sneeze.
Save yourself, ‘cause it’s in the breeze,
Flying pieces of macaroni and cheese!
Sail on out to the open seas,
Farther and farther till you feel at ease.
Far enough to hide from these,
Soaring bits of macaroni and cheese!
I’ve asked everyone from Fred to Louise,
From Rome to New York, clear down to Belize.
It seems everyone I’ve talked to agrees,
The world is now covered with macaroni and cheese!
The dog simply said, "You must never tease,
Or get upset and start to squeeze.
But being covered with macaroni and cheese,
Is so much better than covered with fleas!"

Ouch!
Sally McGee skinned her knee.
Cousin Ken bruised his shin.
Billy Stump bumped his rump.
Sister Lynn hurt her chin.
Katie Karm scraped her arm.
Billy Boze stubbed his toes.
Brother Fred fell on his head.
Auntie Rose smashed her nose.
But my friend Burt, skid in the dirt,
Stumbled, tumbled, fell and fumbled.
And somehow Burt, never got hurt.

Bottomless-Pit Pete
“All You Can Eat Just $4.92!”
They didn’t know who they were offering that to.
Bottomless-Pit Pete walked in through the door,
And sat down to eat at a quarter to four.
Nine hours later at a quarter to one,
Pete wasn’t through, nowhere near being done.
The food was all gone, but Bottomless-Pit Pete,
Remembered the sign read, “All You Can Eat!”
Pete was still hungry, and feeling perplexed,
So he first ate the tables, and then the chairs next.
The owner cried, “Leave! You’ve eaten it all!”
But Pete didn’t stop till he ate the last wall.

Identity CrisisI gave my dog some cat food, He meowed and climbed a tree. I gave my cat the canary’s food, She sang and flew to me. I gave the canary the rabbit’s food, She hopped right out of sight. I gave the rabbit some hamster food, He ran in a wheel all night. My brother saw the animals, And said he was going to tell. I made him a sandwich of turtle food, And now he just hides in his shell.
