DRATS

Can anyone lend me
Two eighty pound rats?
I want to rid my house of cats.

Who's Taller?

Depends on if the judge is fair,

Depends how high the heels you wear,

Depends on if they count the hair,

Depend on if they count the chair.

Summer Serenade

When the thunder stalks the sky,

When tickle-footed walks the fly,

When shirt is wet and throat is dry,

Look, my darling, that's July.



Though the grassy lawn be leather,

And prickly temper tug the tether,

Shall we postpone our love for weather?

If we must melt, let's melt together!

The Fourth

Oh

CRASH!

my

BASH!

it's

BANG!

the

ZANG!
Fourth

WHOOSH!

of

BAROOOM!

July

WHEW!

Good Food

Food is essential to life;

Therefore, make it good.

Chiggers

There once was a chigger,

And he wasn't any bigger

Than a point on a very small pin.

But the bump that he raises

Just itches like the blazes,

And that's where the rub comes in.

Fred

From out of the cold Caribbian
Into the desert Lybian
There crawled a stange amphibian,
And we shal call him "Fred."
You say let's call him "Ted"?
Or maybe "Lou" or "Jed"?
But I want to call him "Fred"!
You like "Maurice" instead?
Or "Barnaby" or "Red"
Or "Lucifer" or "Ned"?
Well, anyway, he's dead.
