Bendy Parts Listen... Quick MIDI
I have bendy parts, you know.
They can move all around,
Get me where I want to go;
Sometimes up, sometimes down.
Toes and ankles, knees and hips
Help me walk and stand and sit.
Thank you, God, for all of it;
Bendy parts on me!
I have many others, too.
They can move all around.
Doing what I want to do;
Sometimes up, sometimes down.
Fingers, elbows, shoulders, wrists,
Neck and backbone turn and twist.
Thank you, God, for all of it;
Bendy parts on me!

Cotton candy clouds, blueberry sky.
Sun so warm and round and bright, like a lemon pie.

Five Good Senses Listen...
Quick MIDI
I can feel hot and cold and tickly little things.
I can feel hard and soft and prickly little stings.
Sensors on my surface are the key,
And I think that makes good sense to me!
I can see light and dark and shapes of every size.
I can see near and far and what is colorized.
Winkers in my noggin are the key,
And I think that makes good sense to me!
I can taste bitter, sweet and salt and spicy hot.
I can taste if there's flavor and if there is not.
Buddies on my wagger is the key,
And I think that makes good sense to me!
I can hear loud and soft, up high and way down low.
I can hear harsh and brassy, weepy tremolo.
Flappers by my sideburns are the key,
And I think that makes good sense to me!
I can smell new things, old things in a musty trunk.
I can smell food and flowers and a frightened skunk.
Nostrils in my schnozzle are the key,
And I think that makes good sense to me!
11.
The Gardeners Listen...

Our pastors and our teachers are here to help us grow,

The Months Listen... Quick MIDI
January's very cold; February, too.
Blowing in on March's wind,
Spring makes her debut.
April, May are wet and warm;
Birds and bugs appear.
School will soon be our in June;
That makes half a year.
In July and August, too, greenery covers all.
And September is the cue
For the leaves to fall.
In October, pumpkin frost;
In November, deer.
At December's wintry end,
Start another year!
14.
Moods Listen... Quick MIDI
If I were a dog and feeling bad,
My head would droop; my tail would sag.
If I were a bird, I would not sing,
And I wouldn't want to sing.
If I were a dog and feeling glad,
My ears would perk, my tail would wag.
If I were a bird, I'd chirp some chirps;
I'd preen upon my perch.
If I were a cat and feeling low,
I'd want everyone to just plain go.
If I were a hamster, I'd retreat,
And probably would not eat.
If I were a cat and felt secure,
I'd jump on a lap and stretch and purr.
If I were a hamster full of fun,
I'd jump on my wheel and run.

Piana Person Listen... Quick MIDI
On my make-believe piana,
I can be the top banana;
Everyone will look at me and say,
"What a super virtuoso!
There is no one else who knows so
Much about pianas and their play.
I can play in fast. I can play it slow.
I can play it high. I can play it low.
Smooth as whipping cream, jumping like a bean.
Standing here or there; sitting in a chair.
Fingers out of sight; with my eyes shut tight.
Softly as the rain; loudly as a train.
On my make-believe piana,
I can be the top banana;
Everyone will look at me and say,
"What a super virtuoso!
There is no one else who knows so
Much about pianas and their play.

Scary Stuff Listen...

Mother nature gets real showy;
Thunder, lightning, dark and blowy.
I'm as shaky as can be;

Sometimes there's a storm inside me;
I get jealous, mean and angry.

This is scary stuff to me.
God is always there
To take care of me.
Jesus hears my prayer
And gives me peace.

The Walk Listen... Quick MIDI
What a beautiful morning! That's what I said to me.
I'll get up and go walking; see what there is to see.

Then I'll eat a good breakfast, drink my vitamin C.
Then I'll comb my hair, That's what I said to me.

Weather Wise Listen... Quick MIDI
We are weather-wise,
Watching changes in the skies.
Every change that Jesus gives,
Helps his living things to live.
Humid weather is
What can make your hair-do frizz.
Lots of moisture in the air;
Foggy, soggy everywhere.
Rain, don't go away;
Come and splatter, splash and spray.
You give thirsty earth a drink.
That is very nice, I think.
Snowflakes falling down,
Make a blanket for the ground.
Sleet and slush and ice and snow
All are forms of H2O.
Sunshine, shine your rays.
Bring us light and warm our days.
From your rising, till you set,
God has work for you, I bet.
Wind or gentle breeze,
Blowing pollen makes me sneeze.
Wind is air that's passing by,
Causing flags to flap and fly.

And finally I couldn't stand the waiting any more.
So I got up and walked right out the door!
