the new employee was a walking cartoon
opening his mouth proved he was a buffoon
would have seemed wiser if he could have kept quiet
said the weirdest things, thought he was a riot
we ran from the lunchroom as soon as we spied
the exaggerator, who made up things, and always lied.
Did we ever give him a chance? Yes some of us tried.
But he was a horror, this motor-mouth, Clyde.

School is starting in one hundred and ninety-two heat.
Surely you jest! Said a staid guy name of Absolute Pete.
It’s hotter than a sauna, so you be the judge, okay?
This was said by an exaggerator whose name was May.
Put them together, and their story might make some sense.
This was said by a few gossips across the clothesline fence.
One tells such whoppers, and the other can barely embellish a bit.
Of course, they married and had children, named one Nit-Wit.

Honey Bee Girl with a Happy Hey Hey!
Was dancing the watusi, so merry and gay!
We tried to keep up with her, as she buzzed around.
My husband gave up when he fell on the ground.
Honey Bee Girl with many friendly cute hi’s.
She loves to make honey and will till she dies.
She is such an exaggerator full of sixty thousand lies.
I could not keep up with her tall tales, on eighty-five tries.
