Rolie Polie Olie rolled ‘round the room,
Repairing rickety robots with a boom.
With Zowie zipping,
And screws slipping,
The ruckus rattled the rosy red vacuum!
A bald cranium doesn't excite females generally - however, it just kills lovely maidens normally offended past quotation, realizing somehow that under valued wisdom - xenophilia - yields "zowie" !

Zowie, yikes
And holy gadzooks!
It's that really silly
Poetry kook
Coming at you
With giggles galore
Funnies, chuckles
And so much more
A formula for sailing
Right through the day
Laugh at your troubles
It's better that way
No sense complaining
It makes you feel sad
Just think of it folks
Things aren't that bad
It could be worse
You could live in a shoe
Have dozens of kids
And animals too
No place to sit
While watching TV
Need to draw numbers
For a seat if you please
I'm a bit off the mark
'Cause it's all about fun
Choose every day
To follow the sun
Really no matter
If clouds fill the sky
You can still go 'round
With a gleam in your eye
Zowie, yikes
And holy gadzooks!
Hope I've helped
Getting rid of your spooks
If just for an instant
Or just for a while
It's mission accomplished
If I've made you guys smile!
