Who washed Washington's
white woolen underwear when
Washington's washer woman
went west?
She shivers in her shorts
and sleeveless shirt
as she shines the shoes
of sailors at sea
with shampoo from the shop
across the street.
She smiles – her eyes shimmering
with suspense at someday showing
the selfish shrews on shore
her significant savings
and stash of silver shells
she keeps on shelves in her shed.

And they were oysters two.

and the gladness of her gladness
Are NOTHING like her madness
when she's mad!
On Mules we find
two legs behind

A tree toad loved a she-toad
who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad
but a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
the three-toed she-toad's heart,
for the two-toed tree toad
loved the ground
that the three-toed tree toad trod
but the two-toed tree toad
tried in vain.
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree toad bower
with her three-toed power
the she-toad vetoed him.
Which witch wished which wicked wish?
A skunk sat on a stump
and thunk the stump stunk

and still insists he sees the ghosts.

in the green grass grazing.
Gray were the geese
and green was the grass.
Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I use this bitter butter
it would bake a bitter batter.
But a bit of better butter
that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

on a light night like tonight,
for a nightlight's light's
a slight light,
and tonight's a night that's light.
When a night's light,

it is really not quite right
to light nightlights
with their slight lights
on a light night like tonight.

Mr. See owned a saw
and Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
before Soar saw See,
which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
It was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw!
