A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To School
A funny thing happened on the way to school,
I swear I saw an alligator in Ms. Mary's pool.
I kept on walking but it looked at me hungry,
quickly I threw to him my lunch money.
Then in the tree I heard something chitter,
those noise came from a polka dotted critter.
The thing was crying, it's nest was smashed flat,
so I gave the critter my new baseball hat.
You won't believe it, but I swear it is true,
I met a monkey wearing one tennis shoe.
It made him uneasy when he swung from a vine,
I did what I could and I gave him one of mine.
I thought I could make it to school okay,
I ignored the butterflies that wanted to play.
But I met a giant and something of mine he took,
that is why I don't have my geography book.
He said he needed it for a drink coaster.
I shook so bad I could only say "sure."
What a messed up morning, I tell you true.
You would believe me if it happened to you.
The funniest thing happened when I got to school
It turns out it was SUNDAY, oh boy I'm such a fool.
