Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys
Lego blocks construct or die
Cobra’s laying in wait
Joes of General Issue will not run scared
As knowing’s half the battle they’ll be aware
Lick ‘em Stick em’
Cool to taste
Rock ‘em Sock em’
Robotics on display
Sen Sen, licorice charm
Mixing pop rocks on a dare
Coca-Cola doing pennies harm
While Slinky’s slink along the stairs
In the dark, Bloody Mary may appear
In the mirror from nowhere, so please
Don’t say the name 3 times, if once you do, don’t repeat
Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, NO, NO, stop right there!
Trouble, trouble
In the Pop-o-matic bubble-
Sorry, but the Chutes and Ladders break and fold
Scrabbled, Upwords, we Connect to Four, spawning a game
Of Trivia Pursuit, that for me,
Often leads,
To a trip into
Candyland.
All in fun, the songs now play
Snap, Crackle,
Poppers sound as Sparklers light the way
M40’s and Bottle-Rockets explode and take flight
But all’s well and good, laughing loudly
Until you’ll get stuck drawing four
Again and again…
Eventually all the fun has to end
But then again,
Perhaps a wildcard will show its face
In which case
Mario and his princess may just yet, have time to get away
