Peter Popper's Poem-Popper

Peter Popper's Poem-Popper played and popped out poems all the livelong day But one not-so-pleasant day Peter Popper's Poem-Popper stopped producing poetry What did Peter Popper plan to do He took his broken Poem-Popper to the Broken Poem-Popper Fixer-Upper Man where the principal poem-popper fixer upper applied a dandy poem-popper fixer upper patch 'Goody, goody,gumdrops!' cheered Peter and his friends but their cheers were premature the Fixder-Upper didn't work Instead of 'pop-pop-pop,' it went 'ping-a-ling' So back went Poor Peter Popper to that Fixer-Upper Man And he demanded Poetry this time! The owner gladly mixed in silly-putty But all the poems came out nutty Peter-Popper told the owner 'Put in Pets!' Every kind of pet that you can get So he did ~ but Pete's not holding his breath... Police told him 'bout a compound word ~ Owner called it 'Popper-Death'
