Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

Did you hear the sad saga of Martin Hopper
Who stuffed his mouth with a huge gobstopper
He could not mumble, he could not speak
All that emerged was a frightful squeak

  3. And when his sweet has got real small
    He needs a filling, big as a ball.
    Gobstoppers take so long you see
    And his teeth have got so sti-i-cky!

  4. But oh so happy was Martin's wife.
    She got a word in edgewise for once in her life.
    A sad thing for Martin, who only could squeak.
    But his wife will tell you, "It ain't so bleak!"

  5. Oh, we used to pine for those giant gobstoppers when we were kids...and my dad placated us because yes, you couldnt speak.

  7. I think he ate a potion
    that make him become a duck
    but he did not notice
    cause there was no water
    neither to swim not to watch

  11. I heard it was a grasshopper
    and boy was it a whopper
    that big green lump
    sure made Martin jump.
