Metro Boulot Dodo

METRO BOULOT DODO - GOING HOME AFTER WORK Bobo going home to a clown Cocoa going home for a drink espresso going home for coffee Fallow going to a field of grass Gogo going to a dance club Hoho santa going home Idaho going for some potatoes Jeronimo going to his tepee Kyoto going home to Japan Llandudno going back to Wales Mow mow going to cut down a meadow Nono going home without sex Ohio going to Cleveland Popo going to the Vatican Quito going to Ecuador Rolo going to eat chocolate So so going to feel better soon Tokyo going to the capital Umberto going to meet an Italian Volvo going to drive a great car Wallow going to soak in the mud Xoxo going to play tictacdoe Yoyo going to play with spinning toys Zozo going to to sleep a little ………………………………………………………………………………………………. Note……...the title is a common French saying which suggests the repetitive nature of life. I have done an extra ( witty?) item for each letter of the alphabet to suggest different forms of “repetitiveness”. Each line is intended to be said aloud, thus for example “Metro boulot Quito” or “Metro Boulot Volvo”. My kids, when young, enjoyed this kind of word-play based on wit and humor. I still enjoy it.
