Guess Who Is Coming For Breakfast
It was barely a rat-a-tat-tat
A gnarly green grasshopper stood on my mat
Well hello, I said. Want some peanut butter toast?
If he has a big mouth, I’ll show him a host.
He dances right in with a merry band of six.
One brings a guitar. The trombone I nix.
The old man’s asleep. Oh gee! That’s a bummer!
We want him to become our rock and roll drummer.
So I wake him up and he readily does an audition.
We’ll decide soon they say, but now we’re going fish’n.
I hope I was good enough, my old man says, happy.
They issue him an invite, and rename him Snap Pappy.
