Pretty Good Ideas

Let Go

I ran about as quickly as my little legs allowed
And got my kite to fly about as high as any cloud
The wind picked up, I let it go, I think that you’ll agree
Instead of flying kites, it’s just as fun to set them free

A Stomach Ache

If you ate a desert for dessert
I’m sure your stomach’s bound to hurt
Unless, of course, you practice
Munching sand and snakes and cactus

Slight Misunderstanding

I’m utterly delighted
That I mustered up the gumption
To jump out of an airplane
Though I’m under the assumption
I misheard you when you told me
I should bring my parachute
And now I just look silly
In a giant parrot suit

Side note, I really liked this idea so I had my friend who’s actually competent at cartooning do this one for me.  Special thanks to Pat “it’s Pat” Keelty for helping me out

A Pumpkin’s Lament

I wish I could meet Santa Claus
The truth is that I can’t because
I’m much too awful, there’s no doubt
When I go bad I get thrown out

I never plan on being rotten
But come winter I’m forgotten
Then the goal I can’t achieve:
Greet Santa Clause on Christmas eve

A Formal Invite

I’m certain a monster lives under my bed
You have to believe me, it’s not in my head
There’s plenty of proof, so please don’t assume
There isn’t a monster that dwells in my room

I sniff foul smelling stinks as my bed starts to shake
I hear munching and crunching (sounds most monsters make)
There’s a scratch on my mattress plus I found a pool
Of this slimy green sludge I presumed to be drool

Do you need more convincing to sway your belief?
Well my sneakers are covered in marks made from teeth
My night light got eaten and my socks are in shreds
Does that tend to occur under most peoples’ beds?

Still not convinced? I will change your perception
With this invite I got for a dinner reception
It starts at 6:30, my floor is the venue
Please go in my place and see what’s on the menu

It’s Not Opposite Day

Hip hip hooray, it is opposite day
When I mean the reverse of whatever I say!
Like “take all my money”, “I like ballet”
And, “my dad’s hair is real, that is not a toupee!”

Or, “let’s watch the news, turn off those cartoons”,
“I hate eating cookies, can I please have some prunes!”
“I’m done my homework from now until June”
and “a party’s still fun without cake and balloons.”

Lets go to the dentist, shop for new socks
And trade all my toys for a pile of rocks!
Stop wearing t’shirts and start wearing frocks
Finger paint in a dress shirt without wearing smocks!

I hope that in math we have a pop quiz
It’s my most favorite class, I’m the best in the biz
So remember, in order to look like a whiz:
It’s not opposite day (which of course means it is!)

I’m Stuck on You

I just obtained a piece of gum
It truly was a find
A lovely stick of peppermint
(Which is my favorite kind)

A striking shade of neon pink
I cannot overcome
This minty, chewy, sticky, gooey
Gorgeous piece of gum

I just can’t wait, but first thing’s first
Before I start to chew
I have to figure out a way
To peel it off my shoe

Absence makes the heart grow fonder (for the guy your girlfriend just met on vacation)
