That's not white silk, dear!
It's a ghastly wee beasty
Eeek! It's a ghost! Boo!
Eeek! It's a ghost! Boo!
Nice try littleK, you sneak!
The game is afoot!
The game is Afoot
Grab a drink and some popcorns
and observe it now
And observe it now,
The full moon riding high in
The grey scudding clouds.
The grey scudding clouds
Foretell a storm on the way
Batten down the hatch
Battn down the hatch,
ship the foresails, careen the
barnacles, sailor.
Barnacles, sailor,
and foc'sles away. Leave me
Some rum and my gold.
<arrrrgggggggggggggggh>
Some rum and my gold
Can get me through cold winters
I'm ready for bear
afternoon FF :-)
I'm ready for bear
to hibernate wrapped in fur
drinking hot chocolate.
Hi, to you too, willow
Drinking hot chocolate
With marshmallows on the top
Is my bedtime treat
Is my bedroom treat
Soft marshmallows or the moon?
Oh, my pillow cries!
I dreamt that I was
eating marshmallows. I woke:
my pillow was gone.
<this was the story in the first joke I ever remembered, years ago. I am a truly inept joke-rememberer.>
my pillow was gone
kicked to the floor like covers
my feet are like ice!
My feet are like ice
and chill the ground air near them,
causing whiffs of fog.
causing whiffs of fog
the wind blows over the moors
Scotland is awake.
Scotland is awake!
Scones are baking and oatmeal
quaking, spoons lifting.
Quaking spoons lifting,
The children's eyes turn to the
Stern old patriarch.
Stern old patriarch
Controlled his clan with money
Obey or no heirs
Obey, or no heirs
Will get the gold nuggets stored
Under Grandpa's bed.
Under Grandpa's bed
Were dirty socks and cigars
Grandpa was a slob
