[hometext] => Who knew playing the fiddle could be such a dangerous business?
[bodytext] => There's a tree by the sidewalk And I'm sittin' underneath its shade Just playin' my miniature fiddle Tryin' to brighten up this drizzly day Oh did I say shade I meant it as cover for the rain I meant it as cover for the rain What will I play What the mousecatcher used to say "It's so nice to catch mice, But in the rain it's doubly that nice...twice!" Or maybe the garagantuan silly salamander song I could sing about umbrellas on leashes all day long But I think I'll play the Theme of the Tree Without Trimmed Limbs It runs wild and free By the side of the street I just hope it doesn't get chopped down And turned into a lot of album receipts If its limbs were trimmed It would be more attractive But think of all the trimming That would take and the landscapers Would have quite a racket Do you know that there Was only a 25% chance of rain today? Well, I made that up But I didn't make up the rain So it's not pourin' And I don't think I'm in a foreign Country, country So I think I'll sit myself right Beside this here tree For an hour or three But hey! I ain't playin' for free Give me what you give me But remember if you're gettin' Out of the inclimate weather You might outlive me So why don't you throw a few Sense my way and the tree's I've got a miniature fiddle Wanna be a giant star I'm playin' by the roadside Hope I don't get run over by a car [comments] => 0 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 7 [informant] => Lee [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )
