The Wally Sticks
Sit back, kick back, I will tell you a story in rhyme,
‘Bout Wallyroo Ninety-Two in his prime time,
So we’ll travel back to nineteen eighty nine,
When he was just fifteen and joined the drumline.
Earlier Wally had been a “sucky" drummer,
Could not keep up the beat, it was a bummer
But over the summer he practiced real hard,
And once in high school he got his calling card.
He leaned to read music and how to play notes,
A skinny nerd who'd never been able to gloat,
He still sucked but he was getting much better,
For one day he...

How the Snollygoster Stole Wordmas ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
Once upon a lifetime
in the heart of a speck of dust,
every little poetic Mite
needed clay to carve their words –
no matter how mundane
or even crazy they seemed;
regardless of any rhyme
rhythm, or even a theme!
Poetry was their life, you see!
And, at the end of each new day
they carved their tablets of clay –
for Wordmas was on its way!
They'd glitter, shine, describe and show ...

Flumadiddle! ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
It’s Flumadiddle! you see
to assume a fact is fact
by just eyeball-contact!
Flumadiddle! I tell ya!
Look underneath!
See what's hidden yourself!
Flumadiddle!
to think we’re separate
despite a color or two or three;
Flumadiddle! I tell ya!
To see a different
heart or brain or liver, ew'ee!
Flumadiddle!
because a heart is a heart
and a liver a liver, ew'ee! ...
to assume a fact is fact
by just eyeball-contact!
Flumadiddle! I tell ya!
Look underneath!
See what's hidden yourself!
Flumadiddle!

despite a color or two or three;
Flumadiddle! I tell ya!
To see a different
heart or brain or liver, ew'ee!
Flumadiddle!
because a heart is a heart
and a liver a liver, ew'ee! ...

All the Places You'll Go! (A Take on Dr. Seuss)
You are traveling to cities and meeting new faces.
You are exploring every new culture and lose traces
Of your previous life. You find new people to fall
In love with and you will have stories to tell. The wall
Will be crumbling and is falling at your awaiting feet.
There are many snow-capped mountains you can defeat.
You conquer anything. Oh, the places you’ll go! And
Yes, you will be on your merry way to stand
Tall against the naysayer’s nonsense. You have smarts
Locked in that big brain of yours and have many hearts
Made of...

Coddiwomple ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!
Hello! Hello!
It’s time to go – don’t doubt yourself!
Jump right up and step on out!
You may not know
which road to trust - but
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
You’re Coddiwomple-confused!
Being so little so long!
But time has come to choose!
Is “Right” the greater arrow?
Or “Left” the lesser narrow?!
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Hello! Hello!
This is...
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!
