Country girl
Left home readily
Big city
Brighter lights
Her daddy worried himself
Little girl no more

So many times she would walk by that jar
The one they kept hidden, near the trees
And though they told her never to touch it
She did exactly what wasn’t meant to be
Quickly, gathering the jar, in her hands
She ran off, beyond her home and her kin
Sitting down, for just for a mere moment
Mesmerized by the light, emanating within
Curiosity, got the better of her, poor girl
Needing to know, if the fire would grow
Opening the lid, without warning, it flew
Escaping in the forest, as fast as it could go
A look of surprise came across her face
When she realized what she had done
The light of day, suddenly began to glow
From a jar, in the forest, of the rising sun

It was quite the extravagant fuss
In fact, it was superfluous
To invite all the neighbors
To witness the labor
Then stand around and discuss
But Gina wanted it this way
All the ladies, at once, had their say
Name her Lucy, Meg or Tilly
But, oh no, never Willy
We just can’t wait for this day!
The men couldn’t stand anymore
Led their ladies right out the front door
Making one big to-do
Leaving Gina so blue
And angry at Jim, to the core
Poor Jim, he could feel the doom
As the due date did solemnly loom
Can you imagine the noise?
When they found out it was boys!
Not one, but two, baby boom!

Two friends went out for a ride
Always hanging, by each other’s side
It was the righteous thing to do
Besides, it was nothing new
Both of them took it in stride
Narf finally met his bride to be
Sitting under a magnolia tree
Let’s go out on a date
Won’t get you home late
I promise, he said, wait and see
“Cowabunga!” Narf cried, with joy
A slap on the back, “Atta boy!”
Came from his dear friend Snarf
Who really wanted to barf
This friendship, a girl did destroy
Seems Snarf was just being screwed
By a so called pal, who was rude
Cared not for his friend
And, so this was the end
Of the adventures of two gnarly dudes

Eyes wide, she’s fascinated
By everything she sees
Butterflies and ladybugs
Fly about, so free
Her imagination soars
In this little patch of land
Her chair is just a big old snail
She thinks he’s rather grand
Flowers and mushrooms sprout
Decorating the grass around her
As she takes in all the wonder
Of the beauty that surrounds her
