Return of SuperChicken







When you find youself in danger, 
When you're threatened by a stranger, 
When it looks like you will take a lickin', (puk, puk, puk) 
There is someone waiting, 
Who will hurry up and rescue you, 
Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk, ack!) 

 

Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it, 
Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it (puk, ack!) 

He will drink his super sauce 
And throw the bad guys for a loss 
And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (puk, puk, puk) 
There is one thing you should learn 
When there is no one else to turn to 
Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk) 
Call for Super Chicken! (puk, ack!)




Everyone needs a SuperChicken.  These are in my 10 for 10 shops - 10 different pieces that are $10 each.  Grab 'em before they hit the road.

Sing a Song of Sixpence





Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?




The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!
 

 

Theses are the two who pecked off her nose.  Serves her right for baking them in a pie.  They are available here.

Frederick the Fine Ferret





There was a fine ferret named Frederick





Who often performed ferret rhetoric.





How he, as a muscalid





Could do what skunkies did 





Without appearing eccenteric.

Me a Swan? Aw... Go On!







THE UGLY DUCKLING
by Frank Loesser



There once was an ugly duckling With feathers all stubby and brown And the other birds said in so many words Get out of town Get out, get out, get out of town 



And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack In a flurry of eiderdown That poor little ugly duckling Went wandering far and near But at every place they said to his face Now get out, get out, get out of here And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack And a very unhappy tear 



All through the wintertime he hid himself away Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed You’re a very fine swan indeed! 





A swan? Me a swan? Ah, go on! And he said yes, you’re a swan Take a look at yourself in the lake and you’ll see And he looked, and he saw, and he said I am a swan! Wheeeeeeee! 



I’m not such an ugly duckling No feathers all stubby and brown For in fact these birds in so many words said The best in town, the best, the best The best in town Not a quack, not a quack, not a waddle or a quack But a glide and a whistle and a snowy white back And a head so noble and high Say who’s an ugly duckling? Not I! Not I!

A Cat, a Kid, a Mom, and Some Bracelets


A Cat, A Kid, & A Mom 

by Shel Silverstein



“Why can’t you see I’m a cat.” said the cat,
“And that’s all I ever will be?
Why are you shocked when I roam out at night?
Why are you sad when I meow and I fight?
Why are you sick when I eat up a rat?
I’m a cat.”



“Why can’t you see I’m a kid?” said the kid.
“Why try to make me like you?
Why are you hurt when I don’t want to cuddle?
Why do you sigh when I splash through a puddle?
Why do you scream when I do what I do?
I’m a kid.”



“Why can’t you see I’m a mom?” said the mom.
“Why try to make me wise?
Why try to teach me the ways of a cat?
Why try to tell me that ‘kids are like that’?
Why try to make me be patient and calm?
I’m a mom.”
