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 a 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 2015

I had a hamster named Bob, actually Bobby Socks. We just called him Bob. My brother had a cockatoo named Barthalamew. Really! We had a cat named Barthomew, but he's been gone many a year. Died at a happy old age. And to answer your question... Yea... Your the only one I write fun things too. FANTASY?!!! You mean their not REAL!!! Now don't start spreading that rumor. Dragon and the menagerie will get upset... And you don't want to make a cute baby Dragon cry... Honestly! It's not pretty... LOL
