Joan Donnelly Ellis Poet Rhyme

I Wanna Know 2

I WANNA KNOW 2
 Is a yo-yo still a treasure without a string?
 Would you still love Shenia Twain if she couldn't sing?
 Would a wasp be courageous if someone buried his sting?
 Is a bathtub comfortable when it hasn't a ring?

 If Halloween subtracted it's ghosts and goblins 
 And burned the masks of gloom and doom
 And banished black cats and bats
 And warty witches on flying brooms
 Would you still go trick or treating door to door to fill your sack?
 Would you return home to change your costume and then go back?
 You're mean! But I'll keep your secret because that's allowed on Halloween.

 What if wrong traded places with right?
 Would Walt Disney be sad if someone kidnapped Snow White?
 What if parents lost their all uptight?
 Would you help them look or read a book?

 How exciting is bacon without it's sizzle?
 How desired is the soda pop without the fizzle?
 How rich is the soil without plenty of drizzle?
 And how sad the Railroad workers without Roy Thorsen and his whistle.

 How confusing the alphabet without C and D
 How soon man would perish if water ceased to be
 How useless the forest if stripped of every tree
 And how boring Hockey without Wayne Gretsky......
