Change my view

 (From: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/jihhsa/cmv_i_will_not_change_my_view/)

There is a Reddit channel "changemyview" that I look at from time to time. Today someone posted:

Change My View: My view is I will not change my view!

My reply:

"I am Sam
Sam I am
I do not like green eggs and ham!"

So hey, if Sam I am could change his plan
And learn to love green eggs and ham...
Perhaps you can (Change your view!)

Would you change it with a quip?
Would you change it with a flip?
Would you change it on a computer?
Would you change it on a scooter?

Would you change it on a sunny day?
Would you change it and then go play?
Would you change it just a bit?
Would you change it on Reddit?

Send me a song

 Oh God | send me a song
Help me get through this | Help me be strong

Oh God | Send me your word
And give me courage | To soar with birds

Oh God, dear God be with us | Dear god show us the way
Oh God, dead God please help me | I am ready and I will obey

Oh God | Send me your light
I want to know how | to make it right

The world is burning | The darkness surrounds
We need the savior | The trumpets to sound

Oh God, dear God we need you | The entire nation
Oh God my god I beg you to show me | The path to salvation

Blight Rhymes with Spite

Amidst the plague amidst the blight
Here in the darkness of the night
A million people lying dead
Could it have been otherwise instead?

What have we wasted? So much we lost
Upon the seas of tempest tossed
And for what? What have we won?
What will they say when all is done?

Selfish to a breaking point
Looking to ourselves anoint
And to the poor we turned away
So far from justice we went astray

An era gone it's hard to reckon
Dear god I pray please do us beckon
What should we think? What must we be?
How can we find some sanctuary

The proper place for toys (Parents only)

I have many toys yes I certainly do
A tickle-me Elmo and a red kazoo
Stuffed animals yes just like in the zoo
Toys of America red white and blue

And I have to tell you and you must learn well
Listen quite carefully to all I will tell
The place for a toy is not out in the dell
Nor is it proper to store with aunt Nell

It's definitely not right to leave with our aunt Dover
Much better to leave them all in the Range Rover
The place for a toy is not by a clover
It's where I can put it for you to  trip over

The best place to leave toys could be with the cat
To push them in front of you then you fall flat
Best into the oven where we can conspire
To ignite a wonderful structural fire

Dear mommy and daddy you must understand
I love all my toys they're the best in the land
And you will just love to see what I have planned
With toys to trip over right by your nightstand

I'm sure that you like to ask and to know why
I think it's so funny to plan all the ways you could die
It's not that I promise I'm a loving little guy
Who thinks it is funny to give you a black eye

I am worthy of "how lucky am I"

Now there is a book by this guy Doctor Suess
He wrote about cats and of dogs and a goose
He wrote about eggs that are green with some ham
And he wrote something else on how lucky I am

"How lucky am I" is the name of the book
If you need some cheering then go have a look
Because when you think and you pay it some mind
You have to conclude "Wow how lucky am I?"

But I haven't read it (though I probably should)
If I only read it I think that I could
Deal with myself so compassionately
Where I'd say "hey" just how lucky is me?

I always loved Suess and his wonderful rhymes
But maybe without I can still have good times?
I needn't that book it can stay on the shelf
'Cause I know I can do it - I can (and will) love myself

I have all the knowledge and have all the tools
I'll use all my talents and my biofuels
I don't need a cat and I don't need a fish
Because I know how worthy is that guy Herr ich

When I'm in the doldrums and I have despair
When I get that feeling I'm not here or there
Nothing is missing I have all I care
This is my "How worthy am I" reminder prayer

Composting Medley

That's the way - KC and the sunshine band

That's the way uh-huh uh-huh
You compost, uh-huh uh-huh

That's the way it is - Celine Dion

I can see your peels
And I know your story
I can see all those bits of toast, yeah

It's an uphill climb
And it won't be easy
But you need to you need to compost (yeah)

So go and get one
A compost bin
We are saving the world

Don't just through out tea bags
That's the easy way out
If you care for the world
And your hearts left it's doubt
Don't give up on your stalks
There is a way just believe it
And that's the way you compost

Marvin Gaye

'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from composting my food scraps

Growing up

Today is my birthday today I am six
A day so incredible so flabulix!
I am so big yes I'm practically grown
I'm ready for stardom just show me my thrown

Now that I'm six I think life will be good
Excited to do all a six year old should
Excited for all of the games we shall play
Delighted to run and to shout through the day

Hey wait, what's that you say?

You tell me a six year old has to clean up?
All of my toys you will make me pick up?
That after playing I must take a bath?
And after that I must work on my math?

No that is just crazy you don't understand
It's not the time to expect this demand
This should not start 'til I'm six and a half
'Til then you must still do on my behalf

No???

Sheesh It sounds like six is not a good year in a life
Take my advice and just stay at year five

If I was an Iguana

If I was an Iguana
I think I'd live in a sauna
I'd heat up my bones and I'd put down my phones
And I go out and vote for Obama

If I was an opossum,
I really think I'd be awesome
I would play with a stick and I'd do a great trick
And I'd show everyone how I toss'em

If I was a sly mearcat,
I'd earn my way as an acrobat
I'd star in the show and then back home I'd go
To the space that I currently live at

If I was a cold ice cube
I'd pretend that I was a cool dude
I'd stay out of the sun and when work is all done
I'd go and watch me on YouTube

The world is suddenly small

The world is suddenly small

I think there is zoom and that's all

There's no where to go and there's nothing to see and there's nobody out there to call

The world is suddenly hush

And nobody's in a rush

Just want to play in the thrush

The world is suddenly wild

No longer subdued and quite mild

No longer the world where folks smiled

The world today is afraid

When yesterday we were brave

I need someone who can lead us, someone who will all us save

The world today is all gray

My father was here yesterday

Now he is gone and still life moves along and there's nothing to do now but pray

Zoomed out - Corona

I've decided from today I won't go zoom zoom zoom
I don't care yes I don't care if I can't touch the moon
Don't want to be there soon

Don't want to hear the little bees buzzing zoom zoom zoom
It makes me think how life has changed into a great big gloom
I can't go to the playground I must stay here in my room

Before corona virus in an ordinary Spring
We'd all be in the playground and be making so much din
The memory makes me grin

And I've got so much time (that's great!) I don't go to my school
I now have so much freedom to not obey the rules
This is what I had dreamed of... but somehow, it's not that cool

So this year its unfortunate that Corona's all about
It just not fair I want to swear I really want to shout
Rather than zoomed in to life right now I'm totally zoomed out

Underneath a mountain of kids

Well I was once a wrestler I bet you never knew

Now I have two daughters one is five and one is two

And I'd have never guessed it no I wouldn't ever have guessed

That when my kids are climbing me that when I am most blessed

With all the money in the world I don't know what I'd do

If I never got to see my darling daughters two

I know this time is fleeting. I know it will be brief

A few short years and they'll be telling me "Oh daddy oh good grief!"

Now there's no need to ruminate on how short life can be

Corona virus everywhere from sea to shining sea

But I'm about as happy -yes- as any man can be

When I'm buried underneath the stack of my sweet progeny 

Brocolli

Broccoli is eew
It's smelly like a loo
It's pungent like aunt lou
It tastes just like a shoe

Broccoli is ick
It makes me really sick
It's terrible to lick
It's given me a crick

Brocolli is foul
It makes me what to howl
I'd rather eat an owl
and have that in my bowel

But actually...

Broccoli tastes great
Though kids sometimes don't rate
I must to you relate
I'd like it on my plate
