Animal Crackers I fell asleep the other day, and woke up in a zoo It had the strangest animals, I didn’t know what to do It had all kinds of different creatures, some from way back when Tennessee Tuxedo who could dress, but couldn’t swim This horse named Mister Ed, was saying, “Wilbur” all the time A Dog who was a Deputy was, out there fighting crime He went around with Underdog, and Tramp from My Three Sons In a world of dog eat dog, they did it without guns Spuds McKenzie was a flatfoot, Astro was the Sarge Snoopy was their ace detective, catching crooks at large Rin Tin Tin was doggy captain, Lassie was the chief Huckleberry Hound was out there, sniffing for a thief They collared Ren and Stimpy, and ol’ Petey from Our Gang They caught Wile E. Coyote, who was snarling with his fangs Scooby smoked a doobie, little Eddie was a snitch Toto was a runaway, who tried to bite a witch Marmaduke got in a fight, with Tom, and Jerry too He called up Mr. Peabody, the only friend he knew I saw this green guy with a hat, his name was Wally Gator I said that I could use some boots, and he said, “See Ya Later!” McGilla the Gorilla sure did seem, like quite the killa But once you got to know him, he was sweeter then vanilla The Paddington‘s, the Care’s and Gummi‘s all were mellow bears Just like Yogi and Baloo, necessities were bare Gentle Ben was also easy, Andy Panda too Winnie was so constipated, he could hardly Pooh “I taught I taw a putty cat?” said little Tweety Bird Sylvester was a Jester, who had trouble saying words Daffy Duck is loopy, in fact he’s kinda whack! Then there is that little duck who always says, AFLAC!!! Foghorn Leghorn, Super Chicken need to slowly stew Darkwing Duck is a kinda tough, and really hard to chew Hawkeye Pierce was real sad, the day he bid adieu Pepe’ cut a bomb in church, and sat in his le pew! Beaver was no Cleaver, in fact the kid was dull I’m not even sure if he, had brains inside his skull Big Bird is a dodo head, and Bullwinkle’s a Moose The NBC has Peacocks Say, how’s your Granny Goose? Heckle all you want, and Jeckle Chilly Willy’s cold If you can still remember all these, you are getting old! Gertrude, and ol’ Heathcliff Road Runner went Beep! Beep! Woody Woody Woodpecker, will never let me sleep Top Cat, Garfield, Kimba, and the sly one Snagglepuss That wimpy coward Lion, needs some gonads, he’s a wuss! Joe Camel has a giant hump, from smoking way too much! They tried to market him to kids, so they would have a crutch The Pink Panther, Tigger too, ol’ Cheetah was a chimp Then we had the Huggy Bear, that scrawny little pimp Elsie and Elmer, The Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull Drink about a half a rack, plus two forties, then your full The cow and the chicken are a protein lover’s dream Fry me up two chicken breasts, and smother them with cream That real nosy, Toucan Sam, was fruity as a loop Better get a wonder bra, if you don’t wanna droop! Chip and Dale never fail, now buffaloes have wings A man with courage stopped a tank, over in Beijing! The Chipmunks were a funny sounding little singing group The only thing that Alvin wanted was a Hooolaaaa Hoop? Rudolph with his nose so bright, led Santa through the sky I wonder if that old St. Nick knew Dumbo too, could fly? Flipper, Cecil, Aqua Man, and Chicken of the sea The Lochness Monster still survives, away from you and me I’m gonna get the mayonnaise, to mix with Charlie Tuna The kindergarten cop said, No, no way! It’s not a Toomer!” Squiddly Diddly, Chumley, And ol’Melville’s Moby Dick If we don’t save the whales, then this world is really sick! Porky met Miss Piggy and now, they are makin bacon! She is making lots of noise, but he thinks she is fakin? Kermit’s really just a sock, that has a funny grin He probably should use Desenex, you don’t know where he’s been King Kong, and Curios George, and Planet of the Apes Lucy had a lot of fun, a stompin on them grapes! The Clydesdales, My Little Pony, Geoffrey the Giraffe The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, never came in last Tony the Grrrreeeat Tiger, and Captain Kangaroo One was kind a flaky, but the other one was true The part that I liked best on, Mighty Mouse was when he flew Popo Gigo, Sunday Night’s on Ed’s really big sheeeew Speedy loved his cheesy And Mickey loved it too Rocky was a flying rat, nuttier then squirrel doo Let’s face it Francis was an ass, and Arnold was a pig Atom Ant was tiny, but his courage sure was big Lamb Chop, Sherry Lewis, Snuggles, Smoke it Smokey Bear The Energizer Bunny kept on going, no one cares The Trix Rabbit, Fearless Fly, Barney was a tool Bugs Bunny was the greatest, he was no one’s fool The Green Hornet, Jiminy Cricket Piglet had a snout The Spider Man and itsy bitsy, went up the water spout The Quanta’s bear, The Beatles, and The Do Bee, surely did Quick Draw McGraw, I think I finally flipped my lid! Cisco rode Diablo, and Pancho was on Loco Chasing the banditos, then sipping on some cocoa Roy Rogers’ was on Trigger, and Buttermilk was Dale’s I know they both are singing, up in heaven’s happy trails The Lone Ranger had Silver, And Tonto was on Scout Animals and us together, now that’s what it’s about I’m kinda sad that I woke up I really liked this dream These characters from yesteryear, are closer then they seem I never really thought that all these memories would last All these truly fun and smelly animals from the past For Karilea... |

 Animals Crackers are almost as bad as potatoe chips...you can't write about just one! If anyone could accept a challenge and do it well, you did! Fantastic, and great for a case of the giggles. Yes, I'm OLD! |

Richy you are a never-ending resource of great memories and you share them so wittily. After reading Pink Panther I had that melody in my mind and the read got just the right rhythm. It’s just a geographical question that I don’t remember all the zoo you shared! Love, Margherita   |

Oh, Richy!!!!!!!!! You are so very talented. I do not know what you do for a living but I think you would be great as a writer of children's books. You have such a unique skill for putting words together...JUST SO...and your endless amount of imagination floors me. You are one of my favorite writers and in the company of some excellent poets! Sincerely, Youngatheart |

 (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, I love cartoons soooooo much as I believe they enlighten and encourage the imagination of the children of the world and animate our lives! (big angel hugs) I never got to grow up during the golden ae of animation with you but I have been blessed to witness a good number of these characters! Hehehe, and don't forget: Captain Caveman's a'flyin', but he can sure use a good combin', and Shaggy and Scooby are sittin' in the back of the bus, wonder what they're smokin'? Dee-Dee's invadin' Dexter's lab, Johnny Bravo needs some relationship advice, maybe Little Susie will help, everyone thinks she's nice. Jabberjaw's in the tank, Josie and the Pussycats on stage, Homer's on another wild adventure, cause Bart put him on a rampage. (giggles) Yay, I love this, you shine with youth, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
