SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING or riding on these car trips silly verse jumps into my mind:
1.
An ant is on my seat
A moose steps on my feet
A cat nibbles my apple pie
A worm lives in the beet
A crow flies in the sky
A cat nibbles my pie
A dog drinks all the Chinese tea
Six chickens learn to fly
There is no pie for me
A dog drinks all the tea
A fish swims in the goldfish bowl
An owl sits on my knee
Three robbers steal the coal
A fish swims in the bowl
Lions lie on the dusty beach
Under the bridge, a troll
Thank god, they're out of reach
Those lions on the beach
You know it isn't very far
Please, may I have a peach
Cows fly up to the star
It isn't very far
There must be something dreadful wrong
My shoes are full of tar
We have to end this song
I think there's something wrong
Whatever you may think you think
It has gone on too long
2.
The cat's at the whisky, the mice at the rum!
The carpenter's clawhammer's beat up his thumb!
Little Jack Horner can't get at his plum!
Calamity! Catastrophe!
The children have mostly been fed to the bears!
Aunt Martha chokes while putting on airs!
Grandfather, drunk again, falls down the stairs!
Catastrophe! Calamity!
Those mischievous boys have derailed the train!
The surgeon's knife slips while inspecting a brain!
The turkeys all drown looking up at the rain!
Calamity! Catastrophe!
An elephant's eaten our favorite plants!
Apes have intruded and spoiled the dance!
The firemen have rushed off, forgetting their pants!
It's a Calamity!
Thieves stole all the instruments, left just one gong!
All the band's music sounds terribly wrong!
Everything's off, nothing seems to belong!
Calamity! It's a Catastrophe!
Trump's in the White House, and Ryan and Mitch
Make our eyelids break into a nervous twitch!
And the Press has worked up to a fever pitch —
Calamity! It's a real Catastrophe!
