GRENNAN BARRETT

Grennan Barrett ate a Carrot
And found himself a friendly Ferret
If it breaks, you must repair it
For goodness sakes, you Grin and Bear It
I was walking down the road
I heard a croak from Mr. Toad
It sounded like some Alien code
I'm astounded by what I know

I'm glad that I know Grennan Barrett
He knows why and when to share it
His Funny Buddy, Freddy Ferret
Nibbled on another Carrot
If the old Shoe fits, then wear it
Take some thread in case you tear it
Get yourself a great big Parrot
Their smiles are what you inherit

Hippity hop on down the path
A Chimpanzee had to make us laugh
We took a lot of Photographs
And then, we had to take a nap
Everyone was really tired
Dad was poking up the Fire
Mom was playing her Guitar
When You Wish Upon A Star

Just relax, enjoy the ride
We're heading to the Riverside
A Picnic on a Sandy Beach
You can even eat a Peach!
If you can Practice what you Preach
You will have a lot to Teach
Take a look at what you started
I guess maybe you are an Artist!

Grennan had a real high voice
You pays your money, you takes your choice
You can put it all right on the line
Looking good and feeling fine
You might come back another time
There's a Haystack way on out behind
Kick back and watch yourself go by
Do you want to laugh or cry?
Or just let this ol’ World go by

Maybe you can fly up high
In the winking of an eye
You can land so easily
In the Loving Hands of your Family
Maybe you can climb a tree
Build a treehouse there with me
There's a Dormouse there named Wee
He's as quick as 1,2,3

That is all I've got for now
I have to go milk the Cow
But Grennan Barrett said to say
Come on over here and Play
You are coming this way anyway
It's a sunny Saturday
The Kids are acting just like Fools
In Grennan Barrett's Swimming Pool
