Going Going Gone

Roll up. Roll up.
Amazing find.
Under this glass.
Amazing mind.
it's Einstine's.
Skin stretched tight.
Nostrils wide.
Explains genius.
He was high.

Next to him,
talking squirrel.
Lead part in
famous film.
Stuffed now,
so cannot chat.
Sorry about that.
Doesn't he look
a happy chap?

Last we have
the tree of life.
Like the rose
in the film with
Beast and Belle.
One dare not 
remove it's shell.
Because that will
break the spell.

How much for
the whole lot?
Gosh,how can 
I possibly tot
up a price?
A million you 
say? Well, hey
This must be
your lucky day.

My dear, I am not familiar with the tune, but in my wildest imagination I can NOT picture it being more beautiful than your heart or your smiling beautiful face. Peace my friend:)

A happy chap? My goodness, Jean. You do have a wit about you. Einstein probably was high. You are so funny. Love the humor and you. Peace you little leprechaun.

I really enjoyed this one Daniel. I was on a roll late last night. I think the confidence this site has given me makes me even bolder than normal. Just as I have a nice singing voice, because my siblings are better, I never sang at work functions for the first 25 years. Now,they insist on me doind my party piece, Ruby Murray's Softly Softly. It's the one my dad told me he used sing to my mother on "Funnymoon". Three times a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. A most beautiful song.
