Fan Fare
Donald and Rosie
Took a public bath
She’d animate the bubbles
He’d sit and do the math.
They raced to the playground
Jumped on verbal seesaws
Up went their issues
But down came the law.
Hopscotch was so hopeless
A game of stark bemoans
Instead of tossing pebbles
They started hurling bones.
They drifted to a fountain
Dropped pennies for a wish
Before settling to the bottom
They were swallowed by the fish.
People wandered off to food stalls
Unsure which meal to grab
Should one choose the lobster,
Or settle for the crab?
