Forrest : Forest Frenzy

HELLO, MY NAME IS FORREST GUMP
PEOPLE CALL ME FORREST GUMP
IN THE FOREST, DO BEARS TAKE A DUMP?
???SMOKEY THE BEAR SAYS   ?
“ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES”
 WHERE’S THE FIRE? RUN FORREST RUN
SO MANY TREES YOU CAN’T SEE THE SUN
WHERE IS FORREST?  IT’S LIKE I SAID
SO MANY TREES I CAN’T SEE THE FOREST
OUT ON A LIMB?  NOT IN THIS FOREST
TRUNKS ARE SLIM AND LIMBS ARE TWIGS
RED RIDING HOOD AND THREE LITTLE PIGS
LIVING IN THE FOREST, IT’S WOLVES THEY FEAR
WITH BIG EARS, THE BETTER TO HEAR MY DEAR
HUFF PUFFING, HOUSES ARE BLOWN IN A BLINK
HANSEL, IT’S DARK AND WE ARE LOST I THINK
GRETEL, WHAT ABOUT THE TRAIL OF CRUMBS?
SERIOUSLY?  BREAD CRUMBS?  OH SO DUMB
THERE’S NO SIGNAL FOR THE GPS ON MY CELL
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? WHAT THE HELL?
HOW ‘BOUT NOW?  NOTHING
THREE PIGS AND TWO 
GERMAN KIDS ARE 
MISSING AMBER 
ALERT ALL 
THROUGH 
FOREST
FRENZY

Polly Want a Cracker?

Polly want a cracker?
No, Polly wants her crack.
Smokey the Bear telling us, Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires?
I think he set the forest ablaze when he got
stoned and dropped his joint.
Atomic bomb goin' off on your block?
Duck and cover?
How stupid do you think we are??
Uncle Sam Wants YOU???
For tax evasion?
The Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Waste?
Hannibal Lector could use them with Fava Beans??
Why is Bob Smiling so stupidly??
Botox reaction??

This is what our children see on T.V.??
Why???  Beats Me!!!

Vinny....what'cha think?
Pray for whirled peas??
