More From the Vault

I'll crack the vault door open a bit wider today. I didn't have much time to read last night, but I did find a couple more silly poems in that old book I'd written for my kids. I think Chelsey, in particular, liked these two (less my drawings):

TOMMY TARGET'S TAPEWORM

Tommy Target had a tapeworm

That was nearly ten feet long.

It stretched from pancreas and liver

To his duodenum.

And no matter what Tommy Target ate

He couldn't get any fatter,

Because the tapeworm at it first

Before it reached his bladder.

(Kind of makes you want to eat your peas and carrots, doesn't it?)

TWO PEAS IN A POD

Sue and Sal

Were two peas in a pod.

Sue was blue!
Sal was red!

Not isn't that odd?

Sal said to Sue:
"I wish I were blue."

And Sue said to Sal:

"I wish I were red."

And that's all they said.

Do you know what happened?

Sal turned blue!

Sue turned red!

And then they looked

At each other and said:

"Sal, you're blue!"

"Sue, you're red!"

Now aren't they odd,

Sal and Sue,

Two peas in a pod?

(Kind of makes you want to just eat the carrots, doesn't it?)
