This has always been one of my favorite poems...I have it in my Poetry for Children book, I have had since I was little.

I set it to a very simple melody that just follows the meter....and my band Organ Failure now plays it...but I thought I would indulge myself with a solo version

I am playing kinda fast, as I only have 3 minutes....

  • poor image quality

  • I use the low res setting on my (somewhat broken) camera because the high res videos take hours to upload. I could use my film editor to condense the larger files to a smaller size, but the thing seems to be out of memory or something....

  • Flakey just got on my case for posting this because he says he wants to do a more "professional" recording with animation....and having this up would be diluting it....

    If we really are gonna do an animation it would probably be ready next year or so...):*( grrrrr....

see all

  • 1965 my grandmother use to read this to me before bed ...always said my prayers ;)

    I have never heard it like this ...

    very , very good job !!!

  • My grandma and mom, both, used to read this to us. It's one of my very favs. I've never heard anyone do with it quite what you've done and I LIKE it! Your voice has a charm and uke playing is great...great tune, too! Thanks for sharing.

  • I have always loved this poem and you just made it better!!!!

  • PS, your voice makes me think of Betty Boop - have you watched the old Betty Boop cartoons? They're pretty cool! Some of them are really surreal. a few are available here on You Tube, too.

  • I always loved this when i was little too (forty some years ago) - and i love it how you do'd it! <3 <3 <3

    Rylin, another Aspie too!

  • You are amazing. I always look forward to your posts. You are my primary motivation for getting online, I have to see if you've posted anything new. Lot of other stuff I do, ya, but you're always my first stop.

  • That was awesome Poopy, your videos always cheer me up

  • O.,

    The PLS Fan Club is working on something... With goblins in it.

    Picture quality - Good strong diffuse lighting would help - even with low res vids... But uour chunky pixels are fine with the Fans - the audio is ok once you've eq'd and stereo-ized it...

    Z.
