Jeff W. Watson Poet Rhyme

The Things

Thing #1 & Thing #2
They're actually Fun Whos 
I think that you pr
I think that you probably knew 
Now take Thing #1
Young enough to be your Son
Now this Poem has begun 
I can tell you that he's a lot of Fun
At the Appropriate Circumstance 
Thing #1 likes to Sing and Dance 
Let him take a Chance
In his Baggy Pants
For you he'll Sing, Dance and Prance 
Now Thing #1 is Fun too
Like Thing #1, he also likes to Sing and Dance
Wearing his Baggy Pants 
He may Sing a Song or two 
For you 
To improve your Mood 
Then he'll put on his Dance Blue Suhgede Shoes
To do his Step 5 Boogie times 2
Then they 
Put on a play
Entertaing and Enjoyable, I Say, I Say, I Say...
Then with Kindness you might say,
The Play made My day!
Then they'll bring out the Magic 
Trick
And try and Fool you quick
 But sometimes they are slow
And the Trick 
Doesn't off go.
However, they put on a hell of a Show 

#1 Thing
Has a Unique Little talent to bring...
When the Spotlight they hits the Stage.
On which Thing #1 his Tubula does Play
He dances an Irish Jig
His Finales is Big
While he sings
He Rants and Raves 
I almost myself flew into a Rage 
When Someone tried to him Cage 
He just Smiled
All the while 
He Dances on while he Raved
He want you to take Chance
On this Circumstance 
And join him in a Dance
He wants all your Souls 
To be Saved
Thing #1 does this from Pole to Pole
And Equater to Equater 
Where he has made 
As Way 
For Souls to be Saved on the Whole
Now #1 Thing
Will take his show on the Wing
You see,
He's an Acrobat 
And he'll fly 'round the Circus Tent like a Bat 
But just say the Word
And he's Flying around like a Bird
Now you might think that this is Absurd 
But you all are his
And it is what it is
And it were what it were

Then Thing #2 takes to the Ropes 
He's not Dummy or Dope
Here he'll do the Things 
Like a Bird on the Wing 
Now on the Ground 
I have Found 
He does Great Big Summersaults 
Not for your IQ to Insult 
But to raise you IQ
Like only he can do 
He's always Thinking of you
Now dressed up as a Clown 
He comes in on an Elephant 
To Escape the Cold Elements
Dancing on the back of the Elephant he Falls Down
Landing on the Lions Back then on to the Ground 
While his Performance is Over, after
He has the Audience Rolling in the Ailes with Laughter 

Yes, there Happens to be 
A Thing #3
With him there's lots of Things to see
You'll Always Laugh at the that Things he did
Jumping Around like a Little Kid
Thing #3 
Is lost in Time 
Inside his Mind
He has a Vaudeville Act
You see
He Jumps Around and Falls on his Back
Hopefully 
And all of the Audience Laughed
He doesn't Himself himself 
Of Anyone Else
Then he gets up from the Ground
And Jumps Around some more I found
Thing #3 is one Stooge, there may be Several more
With another Stooge they Slap Each Other 
They really give What For
What Loving Brothers
It's not Really an Attack 
It's just a Vaudeville Act

Thing #3 is always Striving
Whether he's Playin' wit a Lion
Or Flyin' 
Like a Bird
Yes, with with Death he does Flirt
The little Squirt 
But he's never Hurt
At Best
More or Less
"Word!"

Now when the Things come to your Town 
Go to the Circus at Hillock Downs
And watch them all Monkey Around
It's Worth the Ticket
The act you can Pick it 
They're all Great Acts
The Things Hope Y'all come 
I hope that you Enjoyed yourself my Friend 
Sorry, the Show has come to an End
Please Come Back Over and Over Again 
Hopefully you will Whole-Heartfully Laugh
And Fall Over on you Back!
