It's True, I Tell Ya

In ancient days, few knew how to write
So they would sign an "x" as their name,
Then kiss it to show sincerity
So the "x" , a kiss then became!

If anyone ever had regrets
Mr. Giocondo would be the one
He commissioned the Mona Lisa
Then refused it, when it was done!

Earnest Evans, a chicken plucker
Became a singer and changed his name
To honor his idol Fats Domino,
Chubby Checker is who he became

The standard size slinky can be fun
Go ahead and play all you desire
About that slinky did you know this?
It's made with 80 feet of wire!
