The other day I found a toe
I picked it up and said "Hello"
I took it home and tried it on.
Unfortunately it fit me wrong
I took it on the bus to school
My friends all thought that it was cool
My teacher wasn't quite so nice
I think she almost fainted twice
At lunch I put it by my plate
I think it watched me while I ate
When I finally got back home
It turned into a little gnome!
It did a cartwheel off the bed
And then it turned to me and said,
"I'm off to do some mischief now,
To change a chicken to a cow
To paint the cop cars neon pink
And turn the perfume into ink
I'll give the president's wife a beard
My guess is she'll look pretty weird
I'll turn the maps all upside down
And turn a smile to a frown
I'll turn the clocks round two times back
And change Home Depot to Nordstrom's Rack
I'm going now; avoure, goodbye
Don't shed a tear, come now, don't cry.
It's not your fault I couldn't stay
I didn't plan to anyway.
Now go to sleep and never fear
You won't remember I was here."
He dove through the window and out of sight.
I sat down on the bed and was out like a light.
I woke the next day with pain in my head
Nothing seemed better than staying in bed.
The morning was cold and the birds didn't sing
And I couldn't remember a single thing.
Later that day I found a finger,
I walked right by and didn't linger.
