NEW SCHOOL

My name is Jimmy-Jon-Joe,
And I'm dis-not-un-cool,
But I just had to leave home,
Before the start of new school.

So that night I sneaked out,
Out into the dark,
Out to the garage,
Where my parents did park...

I rolled out the car,

And pick-up truck too,

Got Brother B. Bobby,
Who was dressed up in light blue...

Then I dragged Little-Lisa,

And Big-Bobby-Joe,

Who was already so big,
We wished he never did grow!

Next came Fumeera,
Then Sad-Salley-Sue,
Who sat around crying,
Like a sobbing boo-hoo...

Then came Gee-Whizal

And Jon-Jolly-Jed,

And my little Sink-Squirrel,
With his hot water head...

My Red-Coated-Zink,
Which was Blue-Parrot hued,
And my vicious Gum-Gnasher,

Who gnashed when he chewed...
I grabbed a fruit sundae,

And a strawberry shake,

Sunday's lasagna,

Which took hours to bake...

I found my old toothbrush,

And some liquidy soap,
I grabbed an old suitcase,
And in it I poked,
- Two pairs of undies with superman's face,
- An old faded T-shirt that I won at some race,
3 separate socks,

- You may need more than 2,
Then I stacked it on top and shouted,
"Let's go!"

And

"Ya-hoo!"
"Listen my brothers, and sisters, and beasts,
We're going to parties,
And dances,
And feasts...
Sleeping,
And eating,
And watching TV,

It's gonna be fun,
School ain't for me!"

So I started the engine,

And clutched down the clutch,
But the old motor moaned,
"I can't carry this much!!!"

I cried and I yelled to old Mister Car,
"We have to go now,

It's not very far!
We have to get going, before new school starts!"
I yelled as I pressed on the pedaling parts.

The car lurched forward with a terrible jolt,
I was thrown from my seat, and sat up with a bolt!!!!
All I saw was Mom's eyes,

And her soothing nice face,

I sighed and I yawned,
Just a dream was the case...
I gave her a smile,

She gave me a kiss,
But when I looked up again,
What happened was this...
I heard what she said,
And she looked like a ghoul,

"Jimmy-Jon-Joe,

It's time to get-up for new school."
