If you have to dry the dishes (Such an awful, boring chore) If you have to dry the dishes (‘Stead of going to the store) If you have to dry the dishes And you drop one on the floor — Maybe they won’t let you Dry the dishes anymore.
This morning I got kidnapped By three masked men. They stopped me on the sidewalk, And offered me some candy, And when I wouldn’t take it They grabbed me by the collar, And pinned my arms behind me, And shoved me in the backseat Of this big black limousine......
......and then Dragged me from the car down to Some cold and modly basement, Where they stuck me in a corner And went off to get the ransom Leaving one of them to guard me With a shotgun pointed at me, Tied up sitting on a stool… That’s why I’m late for school!
I have a dog for a pet, The only kind my folks would let Me get. He does smell sort of bad And yet, He abusolutely never get The sofa wet. We have a butcher for a vet, The strangest vet you ever met. Guess we're the weirdest family yet,
To have a hot dog for a pet.
I asked the zebra Are you black with white stripes? Or white with black stripes? And the zebra asked me, Or you good with bad habits? Or are you bad with good habits? Are you noisy with quiet times? Or are you quiet with noisy times? Are you happy with some sad days? Or are you sad with some happy days?

據說曾被學校當成禁書(？)讓我對這本詩集充滿了好奇，讀了之後還真沒讓我失望 😂 既然是童詩集，裡面自然有很多首是充滿童趣
有夠ㄎㄧㄤ的作品，讓我驚喜的是也有不少首詩是以驚悚黑暗元素以及黑色幽默為主題來創作XDDD (有幾首我覺得根本超適合用來當恐怖片/驚悚片的prompt其他下收
讀嘛讀嘛 不讀會死
If you have to dry the dishes
(Such an awful, boring chore)
If you have to dry the dishes
(‘Stead of going to the store)
If you have to dry the dishes
And you drop one on the floor —
Maybe they won’t let you
Dry the dishes anymore.
好像很實用(喂This morning I got kidnapped
By three masked men.
They stopped me on the sidewalk,
And offered me some candy,
And when I wouldn’t take it
They grabbed me by the collar,
And pinned my arms behind me,
And shoved me in the backseat
Of this big black limousine......
Dragged me from the car down to
Some cold and modly basement,
Where they stuck me in a corner
And went off to get the ransom
Leaving one of them to guard me
With a shotgun pointed at me,
Tied up sitting on a stool…
That’s why I’m late for school!
比較黑暗的主題，大概是被禁的原因之一XD
I have a dog for a pet,
The only kind my folks would let
Me get.
He does smell sort of bad
And yet,
He abusolutely never get
The sofa wet.
We have a butcher for a vet,
The strangest vet you ever met.
Guess we're the weirdest family yet, To have a hot dog for a pet.
