October's Falling Leaves, Tootsie
October's Falling Leaves (Tootsie)
Frost glazed autumn leaves of chromaticity
(Of reds and yellows, and greenish coloured sheens)
Are strewn around and on the path by the breeze.
And it’s charming to watch Tootsie step gingerly
(Side winding in a weave) to avoid the leaves,
Which crackle below her feet as she proceeds.
Delightfully, she turns to smile back at me
As if

Next to me sits my little sister
Trading our candy before diner
She in Kitty purr curly hair do
And orange tutu and me makes two

Unwrap This Tootsie Roll Treat
Take off the wrapper and suck it slow
This sweet chocolate treat
Reach back into the bag look for another
Make sure all the wrappers are left on the floor
Hide as much as you can in your bedroom
Under the bed in the closet or even in
Your pillow case so the grown up’s can’t find it
You only

Tootsie
A guy wore a dress for all to see
On TV, he was called Dorothy
To his pals he was Mike
Girdles he disliked
On set, he would sit down to pee.
(special thanks to my buddy Andy, for his cool ideas!)

Tootsie Pop
Love is like a tootsie pop
It may taste good at first
But really it just tricks you
It sucks, and why?
The world may never know...

Tootsie Rolls and Mushrooms
I have a friend, one who enjoys some unusual food mixtures.
Fried mushrooms covered in melted tootsie rolls?
Followed by snails and frog's legs.
After the last, she don't know whether to crawl or hop!

The Terror of Tootsie Town
In the age old refrigerator
A huge Tootsie Roll did reign
All the fruits and vegetables
Thought he was most insane
Too sweet, too dark, too strong
as all the other food could see
And though he knew that it was wrong
He beat up a poor old onion
Till everyone did cry
Was it sorrow, or onion-burning
the real real reason why?
Well Tootsie had

Shar Says No To My Tootsie Rolls!!!
I thought I'd heard it all, but I'm so aghast- my Tootsie Rolls were turned
down...maybe Shar is on a fast...Oh well I guess once again, I'll awake with
fingers brown....I'm so flabbergasted, that Shar would turn me down. Oh I guess
I'm the one, the dentist will soon see, I doubt if

Sharon's Tootsie Rolls
I kept them in the 'fridge
In hopes to keep them fresh
To send to my friend Sharon
Our minds, they seem to mesh
I prepared the envelope for me to mail
(kind'a odd, cause I know not where she lives)
I knew that I had promised, and I could not fail
But much to my great surprise
You should see my bulging
