King Harold had quite the excursion
Left the Queen, with her own diversion
He met up with this lady, all seems a bit shady
Now Harold’s the king of perversion

What started out as sandwich
Made with red ripe tomatoes
Turned into a festival
Of fried green potatoes
Have you ever heard of them?
Well, neither have I
Not sure I want to try it
Though I really don’t know why
How bad can they be?
After all, they’re fried
The best way to eat them
Among all I have tried
But the green has me bothered
I’ve never seen that before
Is it because they are moldy?
Kept too long in a drawer?
Perhaps I should slice them
See what’s hiding inside
Oh, nothing more than white
Seems the outside was just dyed
They cooked up rather nicely
Yes, the smell had me wooed
Cause now fried green potatoes
Are my new favorite food
P.S. The tomatoes are now ketchup 😉

Seems Frosty had gone a bit wild
Finally releasing his inner child
Christmas was here, he was full of good cheer
He’d wink when the snowladies smiled
But something went terribly wrong
Must have stayed by the fire too long
No longer jolly, all that’s left is his holly
Now they remember him, with a song

The Christmas tree was lit
Only one thing left to do
String together popcorn
To create the perfect view
I carefully threaded the needle
Making sure it was nice and strong
One by one, I gathered them
To make the strand grow long
There was just one problem
My tree was much too tall
I couldn’t reach the very top
Else I’d surely face a fall
So I sat down in my comfy chair
Took the big bowl, nice and red
Forget about stringing popcorn
I’ll just eat it all, instead

He is my mystery, my shadow in the dark
He moves like the rain, leaving no mark
Obscure, in the night, he leads me to find
The thoughts that wander, inside my mind
Silent words, yet I can hear his voice, so clear
I move closer to him, becoming quite cavalier
He stretches his hands, a gesture towards me
Perhaps he is inviting, my thoughts to be free
To let go of my fears, and throw open the door
His secret communications, I can no longer ignore
