THE BOY STOOD ON THE BURNING DECK

The boy stood on the burning deck
His legs all a-quiver
He started to cough
His leg fell off
And floated down the river

His other leg now on fire
Made him jump and run
His pants fell down
Then he ran around
Slipping on his bum

The boy stood nude upon the deck
No clothing could he feel
He yelled with a shout
But his teeth came out
Snapping at his heels

The boy stood on the burning deck
Trying to save his boat
His teeth burnt and yellow
Let out a bellow
Then lurched for his throat

Grabbing his teeth off his neck
He threw them out to sea
The rotten things
Began to sing
"O WOE IS ME. O WOE IS ME"

POPPY'S DIRTY FEET

When poppy goes to bed To beat the heat He then gets a whiff Of his dirty big feet With toes that are slimy And fingers that reek His feet had not been washed For fifty two weeks The smell lingered on All around the room Seeping into cracks Smelling like a tomb Pooh! Said poppy My feet really smell I must give them a wash And clean them real well So into the tub A tub full of soap Went poppy’s big feet He felt like a dope He washed and washed Scrubbing them real clean Adding powder and oil Until they started to gleam Ever so slowly He moved his great nose Down to the floor Quite near his toes He started to sniff His shiny new feet When he smelt something dreadful Like rotten old meat OH NO! THEY STILL STINK!!! PPOOOHHHH!!!

Your life is your own. Don't waste it trying to be what others expect you to be. Don't sacrifice your happiness to make everybody happy. Don't give up on your dreams to build other people's dreams. Your life is your own. BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE.
