Oh Dear!

A fox and a log
and many rocks in a den
and A BEAR!!
Then three one-legged
frogs coming from
everywhere
And a big pool of red
and green drool coming from a bathtub
and covering my clean,
clean bathroom floor.
And it keeps coming more and more
and MORE!!

Then my house is ready for
it's Christmas next year
and elves bring presents hear
with huge pointed ears.
Then I'll drive a new car down
a haunted freeway over frowns
and rivers full of so many,
many tears.

As a Gentleman with a pipe
I will drive on and on into the night
It will be quite a sorry sight
searching for candy on Halloween
til I slam on the brakes and
see what I've seen.

Crash into a box, no a fox.
But it was a log and inside was a den
and it went on and on and on and
A BEAR!!
And it shook my hand and
became my friend.
So we searched for frogs in the logs
and found only one, missing
only one leg.

Pirates have only one of about
everything!!
only one eye and one leg and one hook
and one earring and one eye patch.
and the frog hopped away on a
wooden leg.

Splash went the water as green
as slime and my bathtub appeared
full of Christmas presents
that could not be opened til Christmas NEXT year!
oh dear, oh dear,
OH DEAR!!
What a nightmare.
