A shrew without wings
A chopstick that sings
A parsnip as proud as a prayer
A daughter I bought at a fair
A daughter with golden hair
A dog with no mouth
A hog who went South
A toast-rack as large as the moon
A wafer I snapped and gulped down
A quarry not far from the town
A frog in the bog
A skull full of grog
The gypsies in France are insane
A cretin without a brain
A Caboose swinging on a Train
A new type of time
A beaker of slime
An invoice for sobbing out loud
A tattoo...I'm not proud
A freedom no one's allowed
The cows go mooo...
The stars all turn blue
The penguins are brittle and hoarse
The Queen got a divorce
While juggling with Mint Sauce
Collapse in a heap
And swallow my Jeep
The priest is too late for the fair,
The dish ran away with the chair
And now everyone's losing their hair
A fairy that sings
of the fifth golden thing
And recants with the best of the bunch
He said, "It's just a hunch"
As he thoughtlessly ate me for lunch
