Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose (Empty Basket)

I woke up and went into the yard-

I walked around and looked real hard.

.

There were no eggs to be found-

None at all were on the ground.

.

As I looked around in a gentle breeze-

There we no eggs in the tree.

.

Nor were there any behind the tree-

What could be going on? How could this be?

.

With my empty basket, I headed back inside-

I was sad, and hurt was my personal pride.

.

The Easter Bunny must have skipped my place-

It was so grim, and so hard to face.

.

And then suddenly I woke up from this nightmare-

I went outside, and much better did I fare.

.

I woke up and went into the yard-

I walked around and looked real hard.

To an empty place,
with ghosts hanging

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 401 (Childhood Golden Arches)

There was a time when Grandma took
us, to visit the Golden Arch-
We’d line up inside the house, and out to
the car, in a straight line we’d happily march.
.
We’d get a little hamburger, french fries, and
a drink that was small-
It was delicious, fun, and convenient, for all.
.
And, then, of course, came Ronald McDonald, the
playground, and the Happy Meal-
All over America, for children, this all, became
a great big deal.
.
Before we ate, we always had to check our new
toy-
Making sure it was the right one, for a girl or a
boy.
.
My sister did not want a boy toy-
And if my brother got a doll, there
was no joy.
.
To swap at the counter, was always done-
If we happened not to get the right one.
.
And now things are changing, for if the Happy
Meals are not nutritious, as they should be-
No anticipated toy, will the children see.
.
There was a time when Grandma took

We’d line up inside the house, and out to
the car, in a straight line we’d happily march.
