Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 679 (Horses)

He was promised a horse-

And, Santa would bring it, of course.

.

He went to bed on Christmas Eve-

Until morning, his bed, he would not leave.

.

It took a while to go to sleep-

But, not a word out of him, not a peep.

.

He knew that Santa would take care of him-

He had good sources, for it was not a whim.

.

He had written Santa a letter, and his father

told him so-

That his odds of getting that horse were

beginning to grow.

.

He finally fell asleep, and then the break

of dawn came-

He knew that when he went downstairs,

that his life would never again be the

same.

.

First, he looked out the window to see-

If any sign of a horse, there could be.

.

And, then downstairs he went and

what did he find under the tree?

Horse droppings left, for all to see.

.

The horse had been brought, and

then he trotted away-

Is all that his father had to say.

.

He was promised a horse-

And, Santa would bring it, of course.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose (Double Reasons To Stay Away)

The devil had been planted many years ago-
The grave covered with dirt, the grass grew slow.
.
The boy had identified him as such and had great fear-
So when they put the devil out there, he no longer went near.
.
He had told the story of the devil coming after him in a dream-
You get the idea, you can easily get the scheme.
.
This dream was so bad that he actually broke his window-
So when they planted the devil, at this particular cemetery he would no longer go.

.

He and his friends used to venture inside the cemetery just for fun-

But when they planted the devil, this activity could no longer be done.

.

Time has passed and one day the devil’s daughter will be joining her father in the very same spot-

While on this earth, they had so much in common, and will share the same cemetery lot.

.

It’s a shame for the boy I was talking about previously is out there too-

Unfortunately at the time, what else was a person to do?

.

Some folks don’t belong in hell and that boy is one of those-

To separate the good from the bad is the way this story goes.

.

He was accused of being a thief, but we all know better-

Down to the last breath, down to the last letter.

.

When the devil’s daughter is put out there others will

stay away too-

Double evil is what this cemetery will accrue.

.

The devil had been planted many years ago-
The grave covered with dirt, the grass grew slow.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 238 (Tried To Give His Best)

The little boy had to study for a test-
And on it, of course, he wanted to do
his best.
.
So, first, he went outside to play-
For to study, he would have all day.
.
And then he decided to go fishing-
That studying part, well, he was
still wishing.
.
The fish began to bite-
And he didn’t return home, while
it was still light.
.
That studying had been put on the
backburner-
And now to the little boy, it was
becoming quite a concerner.
.
The little boy had to study for a test-
And to find the time, he sort of tried
to do his very best.
