A funny little town
I saw a funny little town,
With funny little people living there.
One was a funny little elf dressed in a funny little gown, And She’s got into a big big hassle.
This place is so funny as I told in the first line of my poem,
And there on the highest mountains stood a graceful funny little castle,
Waiting to be inhabited by someone.
Looking graceful on the out side but miserable on the inside,
And by seeing these extra ordinary things I feel like I’m getting spun.
I saw a funny little town,
With funny little people living there.
Two were funny little giants in the same graceful funny little castle looking around,
And having a cup of tea in the verandah,
One is a employee and one is his boss from the same company,
And the employee and his boss holds in their hands memoranda.
Which they are supposed to give each other,
Although not by post I wonder why. They have the memoranda which they try to smother.
I saw a funny little town,
With funny little people living there.
Three were half donkey and half horse and one was a horse who rarely mourn.
Two of them were running madly,
Leaving the left one startled and feeling regretted,
Of being friends with mad creatures weather their names is as sweet such as “Sally”.
So he walks away actually runs away,
And on the way he admires his features,
And with his hands in his pocket he walks down the subway.
I saw a funny little town,
With funny little people living there.
Now everything is very dreamy in this town.
I’m getting very dizzy now.
My head’s hearting,
It’s like I’m going to fall down now.
And I’m asleep now,
And when I woke up in the morning I was in my bed in my clothes which I had wore on my visit, To the funny little town I wish I could visit it again now.
I saw a funny little town,
With funny little people living there.
