Out of Fried Chicken
Not quite as young as I was once,
Some Sunday traditions with Sammy remain,
Instead of sleeping all morning to recover from the night,
It’s cold pizza for breakfast and watching the rain.

Having Sammy Helps
If I look a little weathered,
Or perhaps a wee bit scruffy.
Just had a total knee replacement,
And don’t feel as cute as Buffy.

Petty Gripe
It’s hot, it’s humid,
The weather just sucks.
No one likes it,
Not even the ducks.

Glad It Wasn’t a Quarter
For favors asked, I promised my son,
That I would give him a shiny new nickel.
After all these years if he cashes in,
I’ll be in a financial pickle!

Small Town Saturday
Small town living is not too bad,
Where it’s mostly safe after dark.
There’s a cool breeze and plenty of shade,
While I enjoy a hotdog in the park.

Could Go Either Way
Sammy has her routines,
Is rather set in her ways.
Wonder how she will feel,
With me home for three days?

After-Nap
Sammy is my little friend,
With a fuzzy-wuzzy kitten head.
But she’s been getting kind of lazy,
And hasn’t made her side of the bed.

Them Dino Blues – Herbivore Verse
Saw a Brontosaurus,
Is that still a thing?
Now it’s Apatosaurus?
Man, that don’t sing!
(chorus)
I’m being stomped by a dinosaur,
Ground into mulch by an herbivore.
You can slip my body right under the door,
Cause I’ve been squished by a dinosaur.

Them Dino Blues
I want to get eaten by a dinosaur,
I want to get eaten by a dinosaur.
Won’t have to pay my rent no more,
If I get eaten by a dinosaur.
(verse)
Ran into a T-Rex,
Big as a House!
Standing next to him,
I look like a mouse.
(chorus)
I might get eaten by a dinosaur,
I might get eaten by a dinosaur.
Won’t have to go to work no more,
If I get eaten by a dinosaur.
(verse)
Perhaps I can outsmart them,
I’ll give it a whirl.
Oh no, its a raptor,
What a clever girl!
(chorus)
