12 Snoopy scultures scattered around the city centre
to find in the sun
someone on facebook has spilled the beans
and revealed the location of 3 of them -
she has received an absolute backlash
some bloke wants to take part and drive up from kent
but we can't find the one and ask the young, bearded man in the hi-vis
he sends us over to the young, cologned-up man in the blue suit
he sends us down the escalator to the Paddington Bear bench
and we get there and leave a copy of Robert Burton's
The Anatomy of Melancholy next to Paddington,
eating his marmalade sandwich.
i whisper in his ear, 'good luck to you.'
the security guard and the blue-suited man begin to approach
we leave immediately.
living in snow-capped Boulder was Mrs. G. Golder
Her personality persnickety and colder
fourteen juicy pepper jack cheeseburgers would not hold her
Six candy bars too, Mrs. Molder whispered to my pal Soldier
Mrs. Molder was a snoopy neighbor of Golder
None of us ventured to guess which crone was older
Their birth certificates flagged inside a red folder
Kept by the F.B.I. in weather that was colder
What’s your guess? My sister asked, nudging my shoulder
I guessed Mrs. Molder, but my sister argued it was Mrs. G. Golder
To find the answer, we broke into the F.B.I. office in Boulder
Discovered they were twins; it was unclear which one was older.
I am not Gladys Kravitz, she says
I have no idea why my neighbors call me that
We are on the phone
I am half-listening while she yaps
What is Robert doing out there? She says.
Her voice sounds unusually high.
Ellen is out there too! What are they doing?
I know all of her neighbors’ names; these are two of them.
You should go find out, I say.
No, she says, I’m not going over there.
I have already been over there twice today
to run off somebody wanting to trim trees
and somebody wanting to invite them to church
Schulz brought to life little Snoopy
gave him two ears that were droopy
concocting a sweet lovable beagle
an ace who could fly like an eagle

Call me snoopy,
but I like to read
and admire
a poet's biography.
Where do you live,
and what do you?
What words of wisdom
would you give?
I feel cheated
when you don't say,
I fret about that
for much of the day.
You share poetry,
it's a piece of you,
but without a biography
you are a mystery!
We were fed up with Martha’s snoopy way
Cheered when her head rolled off one day
Did her head stop talking?
It surely did not; it kept squawking.
It kept rolling over and over.
So we put it into a bird cage pot.
Martha was always putting people in situations on the spot.
Her nose grew bigger and bigger, I kid you not.
She was always in everyone’s business, giving advice.
She did not have many friends for she was not real nice.
if you have to dance, dance with your hands whirling
allow yourself freedom to let your feet go twirling
slip and slide and throw yourself into the air
without any inhibitions, do all the squirming you dare
If you go dancing, do it the excited Snoopy way
You will be happy that you did this, by the end of the day
Clap and stomp and kick and slide, do whatever you can
To show you are not afraid of a boss or disapproving old man.
dance with pure happiness, throw your arms out with glee
shimmy and shake, dance alongside at least three
spin with happiness, give your soul opportunity for joy
dance yourself into enthusiasm, making the floor your own toy.

Reach for the stars! Pick the one that's right for you and your friend and shine brightly together!

Reach up high
Pick a star
The right one for you
And for your friend's heart
Shine brightly together
Reflect your love and light
Best friends forever

Easter rabbits surrounded the beagle and he began to dance
Springtime grasses urged Snoopy on, so he began to prance.
More rabbits arrived at the meadow on Charlie Brown’s hill.
Lucy and Charlie came too, and Pigpen who smelled like dill.
Charles Schultz is smiling as he draws a dancing Snoopy today.
If there is one thing this cartoonist knows how to do, it is to play!
Charlie Brown got rocks
In his Halloween treat sack...
Snoopy made them friends
Santa got drunk and pissed all over the snow
bumble tossed it and yellowed Rudolph's' nose
the elves twitched their ears in dismay
Sam the snowman boarded the sleigh
Santa slept in snoopys house out in the cold
Snoopy and Snowman
Snoopy challenged his huge friend, Snowman
Who has no legs, feet and two icicle hands
He gave him snowball and said, “Throw it!
If you can’t, I’ll call you a Triple Naught in 6 Feet!”
Snowman didn’t want Snoopy’s jeering stuffs
He accepted his challenge with his growling puffs
If I can, I’ll call you in turn a Double Diddly-squat
And a twisted nut-puppy who’s afraid of all cats
The two friends kept on bantering each other
Snowman got twigs from a tree without his ladder
Jabbed them on his sides like a pair of antlers
Sticking out like he’d swallowed two stags together
Before throwing, he bragged his brown hand-icicles
He didn’t know, snowball is a wheel of Santa’s bicycle
When he was about to hurl the snowball as far as he could
Santa shouted, “Do it! Both of you will have gifts:cat foods!”

Snoopy Meets Snowman
On one cold wintry day,
Snoopy went out to play,
With the Snowman, wearing a black top hat!
All excited to hear, “go fetch,”
Body posed and ready to catch,
But, the Snowman stood still and erect!
“Come on, come on! Throw it!”
(Barking silently in his mind)
“These are not sticks! They’re my arms you twit!
(The snowman replied, in kind)

Charlie Brown's dog, Snoopy,
black and white with ears so droopy,
likes to give Lucy a doggie kiss,
knowing it will make her fuss and hiss.

My favourite comics is the Peanuts strip
Featuring 'good grief' good old Charlie Brown
Reading it takes me on a pleasant trip
Especially when Snoopy is around
Charlie Brown's faithful beagle is Snoopy
They get along with each other quite well
He can be sneaky when he is ready
Yet, just when and where, you can never tell
When Linus, in one hand, holds his blanket
The thumb of his other hand in his mouth
Snoopy sneaks in, suddenly grabs hold of it
Then runs around, spinning him all about
Yellow Woodstock is Snoopy's feathered friend
He bounces up and down when he's flying
On Snoopy's friendship he needs to depend
He alone knows what Woodstock is saying
Snoopy flies off in his Sopwith Camel
To the skies to battle the Red Baron
They both engage in a fearsome duel
Each trying to outdo the other one
Snoopy dances around when he's happy
If Lucy is close by, she must watch out
He would dance up to her very closely
Lean over and then kiss her on the mouth
