There was once a hungry lonely lion Who hadn’t any friends It never stopped him from trying But it was too late to make amends He had eaten Mr. Zebra for dinner And Sir Buffalo for the crunch The animals thought him a sinner When he ate Mrs. Kangaroo up for lunch He didn’t get invited to Giraffe’s party It quickly created a void He heard it was chill and hearty And they played a lot of Pink Floyd The lonely lion sighed His carnivorous desires left him bleak As much as he really tried New friends were impossible to seek One fine day he was struck By a lightning of epiphany This idea could very well bring him luck And end his spell of infamy While on the toilet seat He browsed through a magazine page A new diet with no meat Seemed to suddenly be all the rage He grabbed a bowl of grass And ignored his craving for gazelle He’d decided to be a lion with class As he excitedly snacked on lightly salted pretzels For breakfast he had a juice And Mrs. Parrot noticed it was kale Soon the lonely lion declared a truce And Mrs. Parrot squawked of his vegan tale For lunch the lion ate cauliflower And the animals gasped in shock “Come animals, witness my vegan power!” Roared the lion as he chewed on a grassy stalk Soon the animals welcomed the lion Except Mrs. Owl who was wise There’s something about him I'm not buyin’ I just can’t seem to believe all his lies When there was finally peace in the forest The lion threw a grand feast He called the best chefs and the florists To give his new friends a treat The spread was mighty splendid All the dishes were vegan and gluten-free And when the dinner had ended The animals sipped on piping hot tea “You’re generous and astounding! Our herbivore brother and kind beast This transformation has been confounding But thank you for the wonderful feast!”   The lion was now glowing with pride In the animal kingdom he was admired But something rumbled from deep inside Something in just the way he was wired His hunger which he ignored Came bursting through the seams The satisfied lion now got bored With his desperate vegan diet dreams He pounced on Mr. Rabbit And gobbled him up pretty fast Blame it on the bad habit But his vegan diet did not last He ate Mr. Deer and Mr. Moose Yet his tummy growled for some more He ate Mr. Hare and Mrs. Goose Until nobody was left on the forest floor The owl watched completely flustered as her friends were brutally killed Mr fox and his wife covered in mustard gobbled by the lion who was weak willed I apologize for my condition My weakness is delicious meat I need to tend to my nutrition And thus I must simply eat I truly am sorry said the lion Stud As the night grew silently grim But the chances of us being real buds Are unfortunately pretty slim

The Vegan Lion
There was once a hungry lonely lion Who hadn’t any friends It never stopped him from trying But it was too late to make amends He had eaten Mr. Zebra for dinner And Sir Buffalo for the crunch The animals thought him a sinner When he ate Mrs. Kangaroo up for lunch He didn’t get invited to Giraffe’s party It quickly created a void He heard it was chill and hearty And they played a lot of Pink Floyd The lonely lion sighed His carnivorous desires left him bleak As much as he really tried New friends were impossible to seek One fine day he was struck By a lightning of epiphany This idea could very well bring him luck And end his spell of infamy While on the toilet seat He browsed through a magazine page A new diet with no meat Seemed to suddenly be all the rage He grabbed a bowl of grass And ignored his craving for gazelle He’d decided to be a lion with class As he excitedly snacked on lightly salted pretzels For breakfast he had a juice And Mrs. Parrot noticed it was kale Soon the lonely lion declared a truce And Mrs. Parrot squawked of his vegan tale For lunch the lion ate cauliflower And the animals gasped in shock “Come animals, witness my vegan power!” Roared the lion as he chewed on a grassy stalk Soon the animals welcomed the lion Except Mrs. Owl who was wise There’s something about him I'm not buyin’ I just can’t seem to believe all his lies When there was finally peace in the forest The lion threw a grand feast He called the best chefs and the florists To give his new friends a treat The spread was mighty splendid All the dishes were vegan and gluten-free And when the dinner had ended The animals sipped on piping hot tea “You’re generous and astounding!

Crazy Nancy would braid a thousand ribbons in her hair Into town she would raid on her yellow bike with no care She'd never mind her p's and q's She'd laugh obnoxiously loud It was sheer etiquette abuse She was the talk of every crowd Nancy would drink bottles of gin and soda then burp out a melody She'd get drunk and impersonate Yoda then get condemned for heresy All the old ladies would grumble "How Manner-less!" "How Vile!" Out of their mouths would stumble "She must have been such an awful child!" She'd spend her days daydreaming and cooking in her underwear She'd hear the old ladies screaming but Crazy Nancy never did care The other girls were all prim and proper but Crazy Nancy was plain wild There was no old lady who could stop her or tame Nancy to be a little mild Don't be like Crazy Nancy She must have surely lost her way She'll never live a life that's fancy is what all the old ladies would say So the old ladies stuck us into straitjackets Prim and proper women we became to fit tightly into their rigid brackets while Nancy was the only one who was truly sane

Crazy Nancy
Everytime I'd think of you I'd send a memory to the sea Riding on a paper boat To somehow bring you back to me Time and time again I'd send dozens and dozens more Till one day I found all my paper boats Washed up on the shore While I was sending you paper boats A storm had settled in Brewing and stirring the ocean depths Taking my boats I sent within My paper boats never reached you My paper boats came back to me My memories are now upon the shore Haunting me endlessly.

I'm tired of not having a date to take me out on a Saturday night When nobody calls me and its getting late Its such a pitiful sight So I've decided to put on my wizard hat on then go down to the basement below and when my family have all gone I'll build my very own boyfriend and nobody would know He'd have eyes so dark and dreamy he'd have arms that'd hug me tight and when he'd turn his face to see me his face would shine real bright In a huge *** I stirred the magic brew and I started dreaming of my lover boy dreaming of all the lovey-dovey things he'd do I started to bubble up with joy I threw in hairspray for wonderful hair and a Jon Bon Jovi CD for a heavenly voice For huggability I also threw in my teddy bear along with all my other stuffed toys I added cologne and expensive perfume so he'd always smell like a cool breeze in spring My boyfriend would be nearly perfect I assume and he'd be made up of all sorts of wonderful things I threw in a black tuxedo and dancing shoes so he'd be classy and gentlemanly He'd be the perfect boy I would choose to start my perfect family As I was done with my recipe I chanted my magic spell smoke and fumes rose up endlessly My hardwork was complete I could tell Out popped out this boy wonder who looked dreamy as could be My knees went weak and my heart spat thunder as I giggled nervously We went on our first date but It was a disaster straight from hell This monster I decided to  create made me want to take back that awful spell Me and wonderboy did not work and we broke up instantly with no love he turned out to be a **** completely devoid of chivalry The good things in a man are not always the things that show you see you must understand True Love isn't what you think you already know The things that send you head over heels may not be the things that truly last because the boy wearing expensive perfume may turn out to be just another *******

Little Miss China would always cry and sit in a puddle of teary mess, None of the people ever knew why Little Miss China was always so stressed She'd cry and cry for hours until her blotchy eyes ran dry, Her neighbours would send her flowers and sometimes bake her blueberry pie Nothing consoled her china soul Flowers withered everywhere she went, Birds stopped chirping some were told Nothing could make her happy again One day she started crying and she didn't seem to stop, Days and months were flying but her tears continued to drop Soon Little Miss China flooded the town and the water levels towered high, As the waves came crashing down There was no longer land that was dry She swam for her life and found a boat but still her tears continued to fall, She tried her best to stay afloat then into the boat she crawled Little Miss China was heard of no more I hope she is finally happy today, Nobody knows what happened for sure ever since Little Miss China paddled away.

Little Miss China
My girlfriend is upset, and I have no idea why For some reason she's mad, and for some reason I made her cry I tried to calm her down, but she wouldn't look at my face She told me to leave her alone, and that I'm a rotten disgrace I tried to speak to her, but she did not want to tell I tried to ask her what went wrong, but she told me to go to hell She did not cook me dinner, so we ate Chinese take-out I tried to smile and start a conversation, but she just sat there with her pout I wonder what I must have done, to unleash such unholy wrath I tried to figure it out, I tried to do the Math My girlfriend was trying to **** me, and settle some unknown score She tried to hit me with a frying pan, and chase me out the door I fear for my life, my girlfriend has turned into a witch Now she's got a chainsaw, and she just turned on the switch Her eyes were glowing red, and she spat out blasphemy She came at me with the chainsaw, and I almost jumped out the balcony I never saw her this worked up, I must really be at severe fault She was always so loving and kind, but now all those things were at a halt I tried to recollect if it was something I did, or could it have been something I said? Was I just a terrible boyfriend? or was I just awful in bed? As she chased me and I ran, I wondered what started this vicious spat It suddenly struck me and then I remembered, Oh yes... I called my girlfriend FAT.

My Girlfriend is upset
My boyfriend won’t cut his horrible hair It’s quite a horrible mess And it gives me quite a horrible scare This I just must horribly confess It takes hours to wash his hair And hours more to get it dry He resembles a tamed grizzly bear And he doesn’t get just why The tangles and knots cover his face It’s practically impossible to see There’s a boy hidden behind the space Between the wild hair and shrubbery I got him a comb to manage the terror Before the stress gave me a stroke But when he brushed it, I realized my error When the comb I gave him, finally broke I tried to introduce him to family And it was a horribly embarrassing task The scarcely groomed anomaly Was what everybody talked about and asked We went to the park and as we talked A crow swooped down low It sat in his hair and as we walked It laid several eggs on the go I finally had enough of his hair And got a brand new lawn mower How he’d react I did not care His bushy hair days were finally over When the monster mower growled How my frightened boyfriend ran As his hair fell off he howled But out emerged a gentleman He can finally see his face in the mirror But there are hills of hair in the yard I've learned skills of a master sheep shearer But left my poor boyfriend heartbroken and scarred

My boyfriend won't cut his Hair
My girlfriend was so pretty And normal as could be But then something horrible happened And changed her entirely One day she was sipping coffee A spider fell into her cup It was too late when she gagged And realized she had swallowed the spider up The next morning when she woke up And scratched her sleepy head She discovered that overnight she had grown Eight spider legs and a giant spider head She screamed as she crawled out the door And shrieked when she looked into the mirror Her spider senses tickled and twitched And made my poor girlfriend quiver Her life has never been the same Being half a spider and half a lady At first I wasn't sure I could continue dating her I mean, just imagine starting a family and having a spider baby! Sometimes I think and wonder What to do with our lives Normal is seeing your girlfriend shopping Not chilling upside down from the ceiling watching Desperate Housewives Sometimes its quite funny To see her browsing at a store Where she’d usually buy a pair of shoes Now she’d have to buy three pairs more When I couldn’t take her shopping And tried to run off with the guys She spun her spiderweb and caught me And took me by surprise I’m so sick of her spider antics I really wish we were done At first she was a lot of nice things But now my spider girlfriend is no longer fun I took her out to dinner And the only thing she ate Was a plate of fried houseflies And a glass of lemonade When I tried to hug her Her eight legs wrapped me tight They gave me such a shock Eight legs were such a hideous sight! I couldn't take it anymore I broke it off with her and made her understand But now I really regret my thoughtless decision Because now my girlfriend is dating Spiderman.

Beware of the smiling crocodile He’s charming as a flower Even though he’s a vicious crocodile He hides his true croc power His smile is bright as the sky And his teeth sparkle like the sun When he displays all his crocodile charms It’ll be too late to know what he has done Don’t get too close And don’t let him see A vicious mean crocodile Will only sense your vulnerability Should you fall within his grasp And his grip clutches you in, It’ll be too late, say farewell, my friend The giant croc has taken you in For when the crocodile smiles And his jaws open wide You will not know Until you are eaten up and digested inside.

The Smiling Crocodile
**** you stupid boy For making me queasy and shy I've got butterflies in my tummy And stars in my eyes **** you stupid boy I've got this stupid grin I cant wipe off my stupid face And now I've got goosebumps on my skin My head is up in the clouds And my heart has bounded to space Today I put on my t-shirt in reverse And set my pancakes ablaze Today I walked into a wall From giggling at my phone I got hit by a bus Instead of walking straight home When the bus hit me I was still smiling and did not move my feet Now I have to explain to my terrified parents How I broke all my teeth The puzzled doctor was astonished He said I’m sorry there’s no prescription I can give That can cure your chronic state of love-sickness And hopefully let you live **** you stupid boy You’ve got me on a thrill My hearts on a roller coaster ride And quickly going downhill **** you stupid boy you make my face go red when I read your stupid messages when im supposed to be in bed **** you stupid boy You've got me in complete reverse I mopped the dog and walked the mop Please break this silly curse The other day I was walking and suddenly the lights went low then I realized I had walked into an open sewer that was left unclosed on the floor I’m wrapped around your finger And there's not a single trace Of a sense of focus On my absent minded lovesick face **** you stupid boy You’ll be the death of me Next time the bus won’t break my teeth I’ll just be history.
