My Peep Izzi's Band
'Mom, dad', I’m going out to the bar
Where my 'peep Izzi', rocks her guitar
Her 'gig' will top rock charts

AnnaThere was an Irish madam named Anna,
At noon, she preferred to eat banana,
A mom with an eagle eye,
She could wow a top-notch spy,
A civic woman sometimes called Nana.

Mamma MiaThe Abba clones were about to perform
Suddenly Bob felt his feet wet and warm
Anna screamed "diarrhea!"
Mum yelled "mamma mia"
While their pug pup hid inside its fly swarm
Pip had gifted the gig wet smelly poop
Made Anna...

and all the pups are quite distraught.
The largest bladder of all
inside a poodle so small!

When Anna played with Hannah with a spoon?
Johnny Dune's radar was sharp;
Trick tunes with Madam Harp;
Kayak ran like racecar on the moon.

Dad yelled its hot, loop pool pop dive exhorts,

Madam
A woman preferred to be called madam,
Her chin’s level was at highest kingdom;
She bought a precious kayak,
To show she’s ma’am of luck;
At noon, she cried over her first huge scam.
At last, this woman changed her...
