The Bacon Sea

There is a sea far far away

where the waves are strands of bacon

and the water is all grease

My excitement sure increased

As I took my boat "The Beast"

On a slow ride wandering east

No candy, burgers, or trees

But also there are no fees

When you ride the bacon east

Toward a never-ending feast

A Delicious Trip

Mary Lou was just like you

Frolicking the fields of nevermore

Stopping for fresh-made fondue

A dish she could eat forevermore

The dish was delicious

Her life seemed adventitious

But that's how it is in the fields

Where the leprechauns lay

You can have what you want

Each day is a jaunt

As the nevermore fairy's fly

looking at the blue blue sky

Small Pleasures

Every day of every year

There is so much to fear

But there is also something great

That we can all appreciate

Just look at all the world around

There are countless miracles to be found

The grass that grows beneath your feet

The wind that blows through your hair

The beauty of the painted street

The churros at the local fair

There are jump ropes that are just your size

There are movies that will make you sigh

There are also things that are supreme

I mean what is better than ice cream

But most of all the friends you've found

The ones your glad to have around

They are just like a chest of treasure

So, count them with your small pleasures

Cat Man Do

Have you seen the Cat Man

Who lives in Katmandu

If you haven't seen the Cat Man

You'll ask, what can the Cat Man do?

The Cat Man do

What the cat can do

He stands on all fours

As he licks his stew

He'll come into your house

And rip up all your drapes

But just before he leaves

He'll leave you with a scrape

He'll walk on fences 

And knock them down

He'll run from dogs

Just like a clown

So if you hear some padded feet

Coming down your favorite street

Close your doors and lock them tight

So the Cat Man won't come in tonight

Desserted Island

Come to the island

In the middle of the sea

Where you'll walk on ice cream

And feel so carefree

Huts line the beach

As far as you can see

Made entirely out of strawberry

It rains chocolate syrup

For you and me

Which go so well

With the banana trees

The lake's made of caramel

The bushes whipped cream

If you want a great summer

Come here with me

Safari

There was a young girl named Kari

who wanted to go on safari

she brought a small morsel

not a whole horse-full

so afterward she could eat calamari
