Let your shoes meet other shoes As you’re walking down the street. ... more Jen The personal space of Jen Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:22:40 GMT /section-218-the-personal-space-of-jen#comments 3 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/5026 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/5026 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A5026 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4973-the-ice-cream-man https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4973-the-ice-cream-man     You hear that special song? You know it won’t be long. You hear it getting clearer? You know it’s getting nearer. Get up and move your feet. It’s coming down your street. You’d better have a buck. Here comes the little truck. Hear the people shout and cheer, "The Ice Cream Man! The Ice Cream Man! The Ice Cream Man is here!"     Jen The personal space of Jen Wed, 20 Jun 2007 19:44:37 GMT /section-218-the-personal-space-of-jen#comments 5 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/4973 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/4973 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A4973 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4854-swinging-song https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4854-swinging-song Is this a little too much?

Sneezed the breeze, Spitting back peas. "No thank you please I do not like peas, Covered with sneeze!"

I’m not supposed to say. Cause secrets are secret, They’re supposed to be that way. I’ve got a little secret. It’s really hard to keep. No one is supposed to hear. I’m not to speak a peep. I’ve got a little secret. I’m not supposed to say. I haven’t told another soul, Since earlier today.

I hear it whistle late at night. I see the brightness from its light. It clicks and clacks along, Always chugging strong. I feel it switching gears As smoke pours out my ears. Never running off the track, Always forward, never back. It takes me through my day, Whisking me away. "All aboard!" The conductor roared, "The Brain Train Express!"   Jen The personal space of Jen Fri, 08 Jun 2007 21:46:08 GMT /section-218-the-personal-space-of-jen#comments 6 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/4723 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/4723 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A4723 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4671-garden-of-secrets https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4671-garden-of-secrets This is a children's bed time story that I've been editing.

I popped it in my mouth And gave that gum a chew.    It really wasn’t dirty, Just a spec or two. It tasted sweet. A sugary treat, Almost like brand new. Your shoes they come in twos, Check them each and every day. Who knows what great surprises Sharing shoes might send your way?   Jen The personal space of Jen Sat, 02 Jun 2007 01:47:28 GMT /section-218-the-personal-space-of-jen#comments 8 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/4587 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/4587 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A4587 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4573-tongues-have-bad-days-too https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-4573-tongues-have-bad-days-too     Why is it some days The words come out wrong? Can’t carry a tune, Can’t sing a song. Everything you say Comes out a mistake. Like your tongue Turned into a rattle snake. You hiss and you spit To get the words out, But nobody knows What you’re talking about. Why is it some days Your tongue can’t get a long? Everything you say Comes out wrong.
