…onto a turtle’s back.
The turtle was using his shovel
…to lift up a traffic light.
“The light says, ‘Go!’” Shouted the bear
…who was eating his lunch with a can opener
…out of a boot!
The boot stepped on a cactus
…so the children hit it with a tambourine
…which made it burst like a cannon shooting
…a football through the air.
The football landed on a bed
…a stuffed camel had just made.
The camel had BIG teeth!
One tooth was loose so he tied it to a pen
…and a scarecrow pulled it out.
He gave it to a mouse
…who dropped it into a banana split
…he was serving to a rooster
…who loved to play cards
…on top of a lawn mower
…which was put into a pencil sharpener
…to make it as sharp as an eagle
…wearing a new suit
…made of hair spray.
The hair spray came out of a garbage can
…wearing a tie
…decorated with a dozen starfish
…that were clapping for a marvellous gymnast
…who performed while playing a saxophone
…inside a sand castle.
A mirror stuck out of the top of the sand castle.
In the mirror was a set of golf clubs
…which attracted a friendly skunk
…who took it to use as a whisk to mix
…into a building until
…it looked just like a candied apple
…stretched out into a long piece of thread.
The thread was used to sew dominoes together
…for Santa
…to light up a lamp
…to shine on his Easter eggs.
He catches the eggs with his baseball mitt.
His elves use a chair for a bat
…and a pillow for home base!
“Strike three!” said the cheese,
…”It’s time for the fireworks!”
“Yippee!” said the teakettle
…and whistled to the muffin
…to bring along her loud quacking duck
…who jumped over a basketball hoop.
The hoop was being painted with a small paintbrush
…which splattered on my pants
…and broke a thermometer I keep in my pocket
…to check if my fishing pole has a fever.
“No fever today!” sang the calculator
…that played a lovely tune on the harp
…and sang about hand lotion
…found in the high mountains
…made from exotic lemonade
…cooked over a camp fire.
Above the camp fire flies a flag
…sewn from facial tissues
…pulled out of my father’s old sweater -
…the one he loaned to a swan
…who drew pictures on a chalkboard
…while sitting on a couch
…with a bowling ball under the cushion.
The bowling ball was as cold as the igloo
…the turkey lived in.
The turkey wore a necklace
…and played songs on a harmonica
…about dancing French fries.
“Palm trees eat French fries!”
…exclaimed an octopus
…who was wearing my special scarf
…he stole off a clothes hanger
…from my backyard fence!
The fence is home to an owl
…who always gives Valentines
To his sweetheart, the comb
…who combed out the frosting on doughnuts
…and put it on top of a parachute
…that had a lovely picture of an angel on its side.
The angel carried dull scissors
…to turn broken basketballs
…into brand new globes.
“Bawk! May I have a globe?” asked a chicken
…perched atop my swing set.
One leg of the swing set is held up by a mop
…and at the top of the mop is a golden ring
…which attracted a toucan passing by.
He traded the ring for a sewing machine
…to sew a bow
…for his pet pumpkin
…which will sing in the circus next week.
The circus always smells of perfumed
…baseballs.
When I watch baseball, I drink cherry soda
…from a baby bottle
…so that I can squirt it on the television.
