The Song of the Wonderful Woo

There once was a wonderful woo
who didn’t know what he should do.
So, he sang a sweet song
hoping you’d sing along.
And you did! Even you can sing, too!

Oh, the light is so bright when it’s light and not dark like the darkness of night

Hip Limerick

Though I try very hard to be hip
giving others an earful of lip,
my mouth runs way too fast
and the words sadly last
when I should have just bitten my lip.

By Their Works

All these works are their fruit. You can tell
if it’s heavenly earth or dark hell.
When you shop, stop to see
if the fruit of the tree
is a work only devils would sell.

Busy Leaf

Since sweet time is a thief, I’ll be brief.
Since the job I must do is the chief
concern on my mind.
Let the summer unwind.
On this branch is a true, busy leaf.
