run and hide


by horace p sternwall



al had a minute
sally had an hour
they went down to the graveyard
but did not pick a flower

johnny had one
jenny had two
they came to the end of the road
and did not know what to do

alice was a vampire
benny was a ghoul
between them they knew everything
because they never went to school

moses built a pyramid
to hide the pharoah’s bones
he woke up in the desert
and he was all alone

i got a cat named thirst
and a dog named hunger
neither of them
are getting any younger

ben franklin was a preacher
abe lincoln liked to talk
when george washington saw them coming
he went for a little walk

a nickel is a nickel
and a dime is a dime
you can rub them together
when st peter says it’s time

you can run from the rain
you can hide from the wind
but your pockets are empty
because brother you have sinned
