Sassa Magoola

Sassa Magoola.
Farba Fa Foo-lah.
Bibbity Bobbity Boo.
Here is a story,
Believe it or not.
Hinky Dinky Parly and Voo.
I grew up on the craziest phrases,
Adults set them to classical music
And put them into Disney movies,
And no one died except Bambi’s mother,
But at least we did not see it.
Weirdly enough, adults kept their secrets to themselves.
Or shared them with adult friends back ‘in the day’.
Children were kept innocently unaware,
Most of the time.
Many adults of today do not have any friends,
so they share the worst kinds of troubles with their
children, explaining that they ‘are their best friends’.
Sassa Magoola.
Farba Fa Foo-lah.
I am giving free rides backward in time.
If you are ready to go, just get in my line.
Bibbity Bobbity Boo.
