As Big As Your Eye

Ever seen a mouse As big as a house Or a fly as big as your eye How bout a bee With a sunburned knee Or a turkey that sniffles and cries What about a chicken Wearing green mittens Or an kangaroo singing the blues An elephant with hands Doing hand stands Or a hippo wearing green shoes Here's a few more A gold fish that roars Or a cat with a pink feathered hat A pet cockatoo Named Bartholomew Or a sensitive tiger named Matt Or finally a goat Sailing a boat With a pipe sticking out of his gob A squirrel with a cold And a tooth made of gold Or a hamster who's first name is Bob @Jack Ellison 2012
