Ruben's Sandwich

Hey diddle diddle We poets will fiddle With poems that jump over the moon. But sometimes we blunder He still claps like thunder And soon we are smiling a tune. While he sits on his tuffet and gobbles his sandwich He brings a smile with each comment he makes Collecting his wits, With humorous bits Jay Leno would gladly be paid! To have him crack jokes He cheers all the folks Who stay up by light of the moon Even little dogs laugh, While the rest of us grin You're a great guy, we love you! ... Ruben!!
