Have you heard of tiny Melinda Mae, / Who ate a monstrous whale?
The Sitter

Mrs. McTwitter was the baby-sitter
I think she's a little bit crazy.
She thinks a baby-sitter's supposed
To sit upon the baby.

The Little Boy and the Old Man
Said the little boy, Sometimes I drop my spoon. / Said the old man, I do that too.
Weird-Bird
Birds are flyin' south for winter. / Here's the Weird-Bird headin' north,
Loser
Mama said I'd lose my head / If it wasn't fastened on.
