His star will ride high in heaven
For the joy that he has given
The music was great

A scurrying behind the wall
It’s something furry and so small
Our friend's back again!
An absolute pain
I'll give pest control a quick call.

There was a young man from our town

There was a young man from our town
Who often dressed up as a clown

There was a young man from our town
Who often dressed up as a clown
With a big red nose

There was a young man from our town
Who often dressed up as a clown
With a big red nose
And colourful clothes

There was a young man from our town
Who often dressed up as a clown
With a big red nose
And colourful clothes
But the clown-a-phobics did frown.

They ran away, fast as they could

A scurrying behind the wall
It’s something furry and so small
It’s our friend, back again!
An absolute pain
Think I'll just set a trap, after all.

My cell phone's incessantly ringing

They ran away, fast as they could
To stay they are not in the mood

henetha Sat 08-Jan-22 11:38:23

They ran away, fast as they could
To stay they are not in the mood
Clowns terrify them

Jangran99 Sat 08-Jan-22 22:43:03

They ran away, fast as they could
To stay they are not in the mood
Clowns terrify them
And induce mayhem

They ran away, fast as they could
To stay they are not in the mood
Clowns terrify them
And induce mayhem
And sometimes, can be really rude.

My neighbour, the one with the frown

Jangran99 Sat 08-Jan-22 23:11:32

My neighbour, the one with the frown
Demanded I should take down

crazyH Sat 08-Jan-22 23:15:22

My neighbour, the one with the frown
Demanded I should take down
My bright Christmas lights

Jangran99 Sat 08-Jan-22 23:37:00

My neighbour, the one with the frown
Demanded I should take down
My bright Christmas lights
But my civil rights

henetha Sun 09-Jan-22 10:31:17

My neighbour, the one with the frown
Demanded I should take down
My bright Christmas lights
But my civil rights
Says I'll put them all over town.

So now that the town is lit up

crazyH Sun 09-Jan-22 11:16:03

So now that the town is lit up
I think I’ll drive in, for a cup

GoldenLady Sun 09-Jan-22 15:49:15

So now that the town is lit up
I think I’ll drive in, for a cup
But the power went out

Jangran99 Sun 09-Jan-22 23:30:39

So now that the town is lit up
I think I’ll drive in, for a cup
But the power went out
And I have no doubt

henetha Mon 10-Jan-22 11:15:48

So now that the town is lit up
I think I’ll drive in, for a cup
But the power went out
And I have no doubt
The wires were chewed by my pup.

He's black with a little white snout

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 10-Jan-22 13:23:16

He's black with a little white snout
Nothing's safe while he is about

crazyH Mon 10-Jan-22 16:27:16

He's black with a little white snout
Nothing's safe while he is about
My beautiful shoe

Crocus5 Mon 10-Jan-22 17:37:06

He’s black with a little white snout
Nothing’s safe while he is about
My beautiful shoe
Is now torn in two

crazyH Mon 10-Jan-22 18:54:29

He’s black with a little white snout
Nothing’s safe while he is about
My beautiful shoe
Is now torn in two
Too cute to be given a clout

Must get him a playmate, I guess

Jangran99 Mon 10-Jan-22 19:56:03

Must get him a playmate, I guess
But would that make the carnage less?

henetha Tue 11-Jan-22 11:05:13

Must get him a playmate, I guess
But would that make the carnage less?
Two's double trouble

GoldenLady Tue 11-Jan-22 16:36:11

Must get him a playmate, I guess
But would that make the carnage less?
Two's double trouble
My home would be rubble
