Ice Cream Fairy Angel Work

Before you are handed 

Your ice cream cone 

From the man 

Manning the ice cream van

Adorned freshly with a flake
nuts and sprinkles

And whichsoever sauce of your
own very choice and persuasion 

Just be wary of the passing fairies
and angel's

Getting to grips with it before you first 

Because even they themselves believe

All work and no fun or play 

May leave you exhausted feeling 
down and sick

Sometimes everyone needs to take
a well deserved break during their day

As it is going nowhere

As neither are you

We all for the most of us

Are merely come to think of it

Just running fools errands 

In order to complete

One more day

Of which one can only hope and pray

Much many more

Are in future to come

If you indeed find yourself in possession 

Of a rude state of health 

And mind your step

And so to busses and vans as well 

Whence approaching a busy road
or intersection

Proverbially Written

If at first you don't succeed
..try sucking something smaller than a seed
A change would make the rest good
Our company is known by the people we keep kept
passed all things, it me its a m, ust
putting commas wherre i w, ant
adding extra r's
all
swell that end swell swell
your longs
take a breadth
hold it a second sec
i am the exception to every rool
Britannia andy's seem to be causing waves
Do you think the rich have a bet going
on that they can get anyone into seats of power
C.mon president Kermit
Maybe we were corrupt before the power got us

i have four arms you have been four warned
I do not have a great mind
but i kinda like it
it goes without saying
now is this because there are no words for it
or does a gesture become an action
Nothing new under the sun
