I accidentally dropped out
of my hot-air balloon
& caused an accident
& a major scandal
because I also missed
the rainbow bridge
where crazy people
danced the diddle
while a red cat
was scratching her fiddle
so I turned on my radio
& waved Hallo
& quickly disappeared
to the banks of the Nile
where I met Hugo the crocodile
who gave me his colorful skin
so that I would blend in
but it was all in vain
because I fell in love
& turned insane
which is a lovely place
because there I sit & knit
all day long
& never hear the gong
of Hugo the crocodile
who desperately
wants to take me on a trip
with his rocket-ship
back to the spring
of the Nile
which is a silly idea
for a girl who loves to knit
green coats with a scarf
shaped like a serpent
& worn like a hat
can it get any better than that?
