Too Many Daves
Did I ever tell you
that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons
and she named them all Dave?
Well, she did, And
that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants
one and calls out, "Yoo-Hoo!
Come into the house,
Dave!" She doesn't get one.
All twenty-three Daves
of hers come on the run!
This makes things quite
difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine,
with so many Daves.
And often she wishes
that, when they were born,
She had named one of
them Bodkin Van Horn
And one of them Hoos-Foos.
And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot.
And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack.
And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy.
And one of them Stinkey.
Another one Putt-Putt.
Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin
O'Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy.
And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And
one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy.
And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters.
And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir
Michael Carmichael Zutt
And one of them Oliver
Boliver butt
And one of them Zanzibar
Buck-Buck McFate...
But she didn't do it.
And now it's too late.
