Eletelephony

  

Eletelephony

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant—
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone—

(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I’ve got it right.)
Howe’er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;

The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee—
(I fear I’d better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

The Little Things

  

The Little Things

it’s the little things
i wanna do with you.

i wanna run and bathe
in the rain with you.

i wanna stay up all night
with you.

i wanna cook nutritious meals
for you.

it’s the little things
i wanna do for you.

i wanna hand-picked
roses for you.

i wanna play the fool
for you.

i wanna be there for you.
i wanna do all these little things
just for you.
