i'm in a muppet mood today ~
suffering from a persisting hangover
i woke up silly stuffed and wabbly
goofy looney and scatterbrained
with bulging eyes and a bad hairday
even my voice sounded bizarre

the muppet party was in full swing
Kermit was there doing his thing
Miss Piggy was absent, zingy zing zing
Confetti was popping with a pingy ping ping
There was food on the table fit for a king
A jukebox in the corner was going ching-ching
the muppet party was in full swing
Count Dracula was there heavily counting
Where is Miss Piggy? Asked the Halloween king.
We do not know, Kermit said but I have her sling.
Give her a call, so Kermit gave her phone a ring.
But she never turned up, zingy zing zing zing zing.

Muppet Crazy Harry does not seem as odd these days
Maybe because of so many fads and no one is ever fazed.
He pulled his tricks along with bizarre antics too.
Meant very little next to the world’s biggest hullaballoo.
You have to be even crazier, I gave Muppet Crazy Harry as advice.
I am being as off kilter as I can he said, warming up some Kona ice.
You have to step it up a notch, or two or three or four, I told him.
You have so much competition now, people do things on a whim.

Standing on
Giants shoulders
Always play with rife
Chuckling at misfortune
as it waltzes with my life
Twits twist
The mite of time emit
The muppet shows
Dribble lines of made up
Words sentences star
Tin other sent
ten cessations
Put your finger within the space
and become part of my verse
Everything reverse in
cart before the horse
I don't write poems
you just read my thoughts

broad faced koala
like Jim Henson stitched muppet
stinky hugs clamber
wide eyed from home in gum tree
scared away by Aussie flames

Have sympathy for poor old Beaker
Was given away by his squeaker
Miss Piggy he'd kissed
"You're dead!" Kermit hissed
So raced through the set like a streaker

Bye Cookie Monster!
Pointlessly martyred by the
Political left.

I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
Those things of wire and fur
Brainwashed by a Muppet
My life’s been ruined I’m sure
I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
In Spanish too no doubt
Brainwashed by a Muppet
Just what’s this all about
I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
By a frog that talks and sings
Brainwashed by a Muppet
I’m a puppet on their strings
I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
They say a grouch ain’t nice
Brainwashed by a Muppet
They needn’t tell me twice
I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
And a drummer none too stable
Brainwashed by a Muppet
When that rat said “Not my table”
I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
I now know near from far
Brainwashed by a Muppet
And a pig who’s now a star
I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
By those creatures all so sweet
Brainwashed by a Muppet
Right there on Sesame Street
I’ve been brainwashed by a Muppet
And I’m sure glad they did
Brainwashed by a Muppet
It’s a shame I’m just a kid
