amos and the fiery death-stick
one grand and bright
sunshiny day as i was
whistling on my way
boss - it was just before the
fourth of july and i was
so happy i could cry -
when across my weary
path i spied this odd hot dog
with its tail just fried
and it had printed – black cat –
on its side
what is it says i to
no one in particular
why it s a ufo from roswell
says willifred the white
rat who came by about then
no it s a missile from iran or
north korea or somewhere else
says freddie flea who was
hiding behind a tree
no you re all wet says
sammy salamander who
popped up from a nearby
pond it s one of them new-
fangled breakfast burritos
no it s more dangerous than
that says bertie woeworm
who heard the commotion
and wriggled to the site
what makes you say that
says me
cause i know says he
that s a firecracker an
animal death-stick oh
woe is us woe is us
i tell you these firecrackers
may not look like much but
they deal in death and disaster
a bunch says he
