Side Effects May Include...


Your nose may run, your eyes may itch,
You might begin to cough.
You may develop “bottom twitch,”
Your earlobes may fall off.
Your toes may smell like roasted beans,
Some people’s elbows sweat.
(It’s not clear what blue nose hair means--
No one has seen that . . . yet).
If you begin to sprout a flower,
Go and buy a vase.
You may start melting in the shower--
Keep away from face.
Your teeth may chatter in the rain,
Your spleen may start to shout.
If there is pressure in your brain
A penguin may pop out!
A few will suffer eyebrow loss
And goopy green emission.
Before you use “Bob’s Dental Floss,”
Consult with your physician.

Routine Maintenance


Spin the wheels and test the brakes,
Clean the clogged-up air intakes.
When you’re done with that assignment,
Tighten up the rear alignment.
Change the oil and pump that tire.
How long ’til the shocks expire?
Swap the belts and check transmission.
Can we make this no-emission?
Fix the dents, buff out the scratches,
Press the buttons, pull the latches.
When the services are through,
Polish every bolt and screw.
Now I’ll have my satisfaction--
Mega-Kill-Bot primed for action!

Half-Birthday Party!


Wear your half-a-party-hat--(It’s just the rubber band).
Here’s your half-balloon--(It’s just a ribbon in your hand).
Blow out half the candles on your droopy half-a-cake--
(Half the flour, half the eggs, and half the time to bake).
Half of us will sing to you, but only half the song.
Half will sing your name correctly, half will sing it wrong.
Pour a half-a-glass of soda in your half-a-cup.
Open your half-presents--(empty boxes all wrapped up).
Play with half your friends, and when the party’s halfway through,
Make a good half-birthday wish, and may it half come true!

If You Were…


If you were a blanket,
I'd snuggle you up. 
If you were some coffee,
I'd fill up my cup. 
If you were a mountain,
I'd climb to the top. 
If you were a flip, well then,
I'd be your flop. 

If you were a sparrow,
I'd live in the trees. 
If you were a milkshake,
I'd risk a brain-freeze. 
If you were a seashell,
I'd put up my ear. 
If you were invisible,
I'd disappear. 

If you were a quiz question,
I'd take a guess. 
If you were a doorbell,
I'd give you a press. 
If you were a razor,
I'd get a close shave. 
But since you're a cactus,
I think I'll just wave.

Zombie Joe's Employment


Are you a monster out of work?  No job for your enjoyment?
Well, come in for an interview at Zombie Joe’s Employment!
A full time staffing agency for monsters, beasts, and goons,
Plus creatures, freaks of nature, and grown men who watch cartoons.
We found a job for Bigfoot at a local winery.
He’s stomping down the grapes, and he’s as happy as can be!
We sent The Mummy to a high school where they need a nurse--
He’s always got a bandage and he’ll promise not to curse.
And Dracula does first-aid on a desert camping range.
You need a snakebite sucked out quick?  Well, that he can arrange!
The Wolfman is a guard-dog for the monthly full-moon dance,
The Yeti folds and presses all your mountain-climbing pants.
Old Frankenstein was tricky, ’cause his movements are so slow.
But he’s a great school crossing guard--he lurches to and fro.
The Loch Ness Monster came to us for help with something greater--
He’s bringing home the gold as an Olympic figure skater!
So come fill out some paperwork--it’s quicker than it seems.
At Zombie Joe’s Employment--Where We Help You Live Your Screams!™
