Grandpa Tucker's Poem: Funny Bad

Silly Sally sang a song
Handsome Harry hummed along.
Funny Freddie grabbed his flute
And blew until he made a toot.

TOOT it went and it made them smile,
They laughed together for a while.
Sally's song was very sad
But Fred's one toot was funny bad.

Oh, don't you love the funny bad?
It shakes you, but it makes you glad.
Climbers on a slippery pole,
A slam dunk that escapes the hole

The cat's tail and the rocking chair
Aunt Edna in her underwear.
The Billy goat that got untied
I laughed and laughed until I cried.

Funny bad and happy crying:
Things that make us keep on trying.
They often change the way we feel,
"LOOK OUT FOR THAT BANANNA PEEL!"
