I Love You, Dear

I love you, dear, with all my heart

I love you through and through

And even when you beat me up

I know you love me too

I love you dear, with all my heart

And care with all my soul

For even when you scream at me

I know your heart’s not coal

I love you dear, with all my heart

I love you, head to toe

And though you see me as a toy

My heart can’t help but glow

I love you dear, with all my heart

‘Cause even when I’m blue

I want to hear, with all my heart,

“I really love you too”

Time

An hour is a second

A second is a day

The present’s like molasses

The past is far away

The future’s very close to us

Yet also far away

The time that pass feels very long

Yet from the present, they look afar

From big to small

From small to large

It all just hurts my head

From fast to slow

From slow to fast

I want to go to bed…

Jester

There once was a jester named Gaff

Who came to make little kids laugh

But then came a knight

Who saw the kids’ fright

And cut the poor jester in half
