I Wanna Know 1

I WANNA KNOW (Children's Rhyme intended for Picture Rhyme Book) Would the haunted house be creepy if it had no creeps? Would it be scary without the creaks? Would clouds stay huffy puffy if they never had leaks? Would the sky lite up at christmas if Rudolph had no shiny nose? What if a polar bear hid Santa's Ho, Ho, Ho's? Would Christmas still come true? I don't know , that's why I'm asking you! And what if Uncle Remus lost his Zippity -Do? Could a tickle be fun without a giggle? How far could a worn travel without his wriggle? Would Jello be delicious if it couldn't jiggle? And could a Duck quack if his tail wouldn't wiggle? What if North Pole fired Santa and his elves Who would make toys and stock workshop shelves? If there weren't stocking stuffers playing peek-a-boo , Tell me true...would simple hugs and kisses do? If peanut butter had no toast would you be blue? Me too! What if Peter Cottontail forgot his basket that carried your treat, Would he still hippity-hoppity-hop down your street? And would you rush to great Peter Cottontail then, And still consider him your Honey-Bunny friend? Could the firefly see in the dark without its blink, blink, blink? Is the owl flirting when it hoots at you and sends a wink? Would the Rainbow Trout be as colorful without it's pink? And would you cry if the skunk misplaced his stink? Would you miss the P-U? And tell me would it trouble you if... Roaster Krewster choked on his cock-a-doodle-do? Without bubbles does gum have any taste, Or is it like a game of tag with noone to chase, Or like a bar of soap that can't find a dirty face Would you still chew or would Bubbalicious Bubblegum and you be through?

If I were a child, I would want the answers to all these oh-so-cleverly written questions! I'd go nuts. Once again, you have me in need for a Part 2! Check the 2nd line of the last stanza for a pesky typo - noone. Great write, Joan ... CayCay
