not quite a song, but great fun and an all time favorite. sarah cyntha sylvia stout would not take the garbage out... by shel silverstein. the video is actually shel reciting the poem from his book where the sidewalk ends. i love his stuff and so do kids. he talks directly to them. he also wrote two very famous songs - the unicorn made famous by the irish rovers and a boy named sue that just may have made johnny cash a household name. amazing.
sarah cynthia sylvia stout is my favorite. the guy who created this video did a great job. my other favorite is ma and god
Ma and God
God gave us fingers—Ma says, “Use your fork.”
God gave us voices—Ma says, “Don’t scream.”
Ma says eat broccoli, cereal and carrots.
But God gave us tasteys for maple ice cream.
God gave us fingers—Ma says, “Use your hanky.”
God gave us puddles—Ma says, “Don’t splash.”
Ma says, “Be quiet, your father is sleeping.”
But God gave us garbage can covers to crash.
God gave us fingers—Ma says “Put your gloves on.”
God gave us raindrops—Ma says, “Don’t get wet.”
Ma says be careful, and don’t get too near to
Those strange lovely dogs that God gave us to pet.
God gave us fingers—Ma says, “Go wash ‘em.”
But God gave us coal bins and nice dirty bodies.
And I ain’t too smart, but there’s one thing for certain—
Either Ma’s wrong or else God is.
