Gobble-De-Gook
Here’s a bunch of Gobble-de-Gook
There is no sense or reason
I just threw together some stuff I read
Which constitutes poetic treason!
Here’s a fact about knowledge and wisdom
A fact which I know is valid
Knowledge is knowing a Tomato’s a fruit
Wisdom- not putting it in a Fruit Salad!
Another fact I’d like to relate
Pay attention if you please
The early bird gets the worm
But the second mouse gets the cheese!
Another vision that I had
I know may sound bizarre
Going to church don’t make you a Christian
Nor standing in a garage won’t make you a car!
If you need cash here’s some advice
I hope that you will heed it
A bank will surely loan you some
If you can prove that you don’t need it!
Elections are a funny thing
Our choices are quite shifty
For president we choose from two
Miss America from fifty!
When faced with a payback decision
Be careful what you choose
When tempted to fight fire-with-fire
Remember water is what Firemen use.
Someone posed a question once
I admit now that I smiled
If we all learn from our mistakes
Why do people have more than one child?
