"No payments till June!!!"
CLICK!
"The news is up next!"
CLICK!
"Which one is the whitest?"
CLICK!
"I like Brand X!!"
CLICK!
"Here's Rob with the weather!"
CLICK!
"We've priced 'em to move!!!"
CLICK!
"It's completely all natural!"
CLICK!
It's new and improved!!"

TV is all right
But I ask you to note,
If Dad's in the room
Then hide the remote!

MY VELCRO DOG

My dog's made of Velcro,
He's really a bug.
Ask him to roll over
And he gets stuck to the rug.

ELEMENOPEE

"Rocket" begings with the letter "R"
And "Dragon", the letter "D".

There's just one thing I'm not sure of--
What kind of word begins with "Elemenopee"?

PUTTLEMERE'S WAY

Way out in space, quite a long ways away
There is a small planet named Puttlemere's Way.

The people who live on "Puttles" (for short)
Like to dry dishes and love socks to sort.

They love smelly things
And poems that are sad.
They go to bed early
Even when they're not bad.

Puttlemerians no doubt are a very strange lot!
They love kidney beans and ice cream that's hot.

They like long division
And vegetable stews.
They love screeching noises
And the six o'clock news!

Oh!  There is one good thing about Puttlemere's Way,
And that's that it's 6 trillion light years away!
