Array ( [sid] => 10044 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Couch critters [time] => 2003-01-09 07:00:00 [hometext] => A little ditty I wrote for my five year old. [bodytext] => Down in the cracks
where the old crumbs go
Down in the shadows
where the lights don't show

In between the cushions
and under them too
You wouldn't believe
what's hidden from view

A strange little world
all to it's own
unlike any other
that's ever been known

A world of wonder
Where lintpickers play
And crumb crunchers gather
and grumble all day

A place where fuzzies
and frizzies hang out
With dust bunnies
scurring and hiding about

And way down under
far, far below
Down where the fuzzies
and frizzies won't go

Down in the bottom
of the old gray couch
The crack monster lives
and boy what a grouch

He growls and he grumbles
He moans and he groans
He munches and crunches
and gnaws at old combs

He spits and he sputters
And rumbles all day
And frightens the fuzzies
and frizzies away

So if you ever go digging
down deep in the couch
You'd better watch out
For the crack monster grouch [comments] => 6 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 43 [informant] => wordsy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
