(One for the kiddies!)
Have you heard the latest, kiddies?
Archibald Mouse is confused
He thinks he's a big scary tiger
So no more chewing on shoes!
But he doesn't have any tiger stripes
He says they came off in the bath
Also says the soap made him shrink
He sure can make people laugh!
He tries to let out a big tiger roar
But all that comes out is a squeak
Archie's been trying so very hard
In fact he's been trying for weeks!
Gotta feel for this adorable little critter
Perhaps there's a blow-up pill
That when he takes it he gets real big
Last I heard he was trying still!
So even if you're just a little wee tike
Remember to keep thinking big
Keep trying hard to better yourself
And you'll wind up dancing a jig!

Fifty-year old pastor Archibald
And already the vessel is bald
Now cold not red heat would the priest scald;
Now 'irritable'when he is called...
For twenty years now A Pastor:
Would not sit on chairs denied castor;
Claims a pastor:Better Doctor,
Against every demon: Victor
Before ordination shooting star,
No speeding sprinter was faster,
His knowledge of the game vaster;
So much the case that he was master
But right now caged up by Arthritis,
Real blows exchanging with Mastitis
A time-and- again Hepatitis...
It has been growing anxieties.

Archibald the blue heeler was a loyal one
Frolicking with his pal Rachel under the Southern sun
Up for a game and a lick to the face
Running around outside was their place
And Rachel McCrow was called to the blue
To do her duty and to be true
She lost her life to the murderer’s gun
Passing as heroes with her partner Matthew their lives undone
When the blue gathered to honour them
Archibald was in the front for his friend
He waited patiently until the service had ended
And then went home without her now his love extended.

Rachel McCrow was murdered with her partner Matthew Arnold on police duty in Queensland. Archibald was her blue heeler dog.

Galanokir, isang Daigdig ng hiwaga
Kung saan ay walang kalungkutan
Kapighatian at kahirapan
Walang masama, puro kabutihan
Daigdig na walang kakulangan at kalabisan
Lahat ay pantay pantay, sapat para sa lahat
Walang alinlangan, puro kasiguruhan
Walang karamdaman at kadiliman
Malaya ang bawat nilalang, walang sagabal
Lahat ay makakamtan, walang kabiguan
Walang digmaan, walang agawan
Walang kompetisyon, lahat ay tagumpay
Pag-ibig para sa lahat, bawat isa'y may kapareha
Walang magnanakaw at mandaraya
Walang sinungaling, lahat ay matapat
Kaya tayo na sa Daigdig ng Galanokir
