The Lizard and the Toad

A lizard saw a toad
resting on a rock.
He slicked out his tongue
and thought he would have the toad for lunch.

The toad saw the lizard
but he kept still as a mouse.
The lizard walked over by the toad
grabbed him and knocked him off the rock.

The toad got away
and he hopped from stump to stump.
The lizard was disappointed
for he had just lost his lunch.

Feeling cheated and defeated
the lizard finally realized
why bother with a toad
when he could have flies.

A Good Man

My house is on the other side of town.
I ride in a car with the top down.
I have one dog and one cat.
My house is filled with a lot of knick nacks.
I have a husband, I call Dr. Feel Good,
He loves me like no other man could
When I am tired, he cooks my meal,
and when he is done, we watch lets make a deal.
One night when I got home late,
He had bought ice cream and baked a cake.
Sometime I ask him, honey, what do you want from me
He just says, don't worry baby, my love is free.
Now everyday when I get home,
I don't take the time to talk on the phone.
I don't take time to watch TV,
'Cause honey, I got a good man there,
waiting for me.
