I have always remembered this variant of Good King Sauerkraut- a differnt fourth line:
Good King Saurkraut looked out
On his feets uneven,
And the snoo lay round about
Deeply crisp uneven.

You have to start somewhere, and the Disney Studios had some great animators when Walt was around. Since you have to be a good artist to be a good animator, Kelley served with some of the best, until it came time for him to go off and do his own thing.

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel,
Lullaby Lilla boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!




Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker n' too-da-loo!
Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,

Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloup, 'lope with you!

Duck us all in bowls of barley,

Oh, what memories.
"Yes, Santy Claus, there is a Virginia"
The Bats, unsure as to who is which - "If you're wearing my pants, you must be me."

I offer up this memorization (sadly don't recall the title) that was in one of the books:
"The gentle journey jars to stop.
The drifting dream is done.
The long gone goblins loom ahead -
The deadly that we thought were dead -
Stand waiting, every one."

Sort of suits the times..

I think the first two verses of Kelly's riff on the 12 Days of Christmas went, more or less, thus:

Honor Thursday of crispness,
MacFurloff centipede
A. Parsnips, inner pantry.

Honor sickle day of crispness,
MacFurloff centipede
Toot doodle duffs
Anna Parsnips, inner pantry.

I surfed over here looking for more, and appreciate Ken's logging that verse sung by Churchy, which has to be #3.

I GO POGO!!!!
I grew up reading Pogo collections my father had - and am lucky enough to have received them as an 'early inheiritance'. I also have the vinyl album 'Songs of the Pogo'. One of the reasons I love Pogo is that he has so many levels. I don't know enough of the politics from the time the strip was running to appreciate ALL of the humour - but I know enough!

Pogo books are like old baseball cards or rare songbooks....people seldom part with them except by death or big $$$$...they were reprinted, but not recently, as the potential market (i.e., expiring minds) is decreasing. You see them on Ebay, at a few old bookstores..etc....I have about 8 'originals'...including one duplicate which I 'might' be persuaded to part with...

And also, who can forget the Jack Acid Society Black Book? But the pig looking like Kruschev and the dog looking like Castro were in Instant Pogo, with the Deacon and Mole being the Jack Acid Society and with Wiley Cat hunting the pig. Wiley and the Deacon show up as Klanners (oops! I mean as the Kluck Klams) in The Pogo Poop Book. It also includes a series called Late Early Poop on the Jack Acid Society.

I am, strangely, warmed by knowing that so many of my fellows remember and revere the gentle genius of Walt Kelly. I have never read another author (with the possible exception of Mark Twain) who, so skillfully, blended philosophy, political satire and word play. He must have been the premier humorist of the 20th century. At the start of each book, Kelly wrote a forward that was, both, funny and inciteful.I never tire of quoting the closing words of one of those forwards, "We have met the enemy and they are us."

In about 1962, we had a party, attended my some members of the English Dept, at my college. One of the 'events' was a poetry explication contest, in which everyone was given a copy of the following and asked to write an explication/analysis of it in 15 min or less: I wish I had saved the efforts!

"Evening is dawn;
And night unknown
But here in the morn
The mists are grown;
And only the loon
Will laugh alone;
And only the the lone
Are lorn."

These are, strictly speaking, not songs but poems, from "Pogo's Sunday Punch," by Walt Kelly, 1957.

The first poem appears after the table of contents, but before the first Pogo story, suggesting it is meant as a dedication. It is accompanied only by 2 small drawings of puppies.

TO THE EVERYDAY CHILD

Tell me, friend, so
Meek, so mild,
Who is not
A Monday child?

Tell me, tell me
Who is not
Who is not
A Tuesday tot?

Whisper, whisper
Just for fun,
Who is not
The Wednesday one?

Tell me, tell me,
All forlorn,
Who was not
On Thursday born?

Tell me only,
If you wish,
Who is not
A Friday fish?

You can ponder,
And you may,
Who is not
Of Saturday?

Sing me, pray thee,
Sweet and wild,
Who is not
A Sunday child?

The following poems appear, not as part of any story, but in two separate sections called "Stuff and Nonsense" and "More Stuff and Nonsense." They are all accompanied by drawings, but I have not described the drawings except in one instance where I think they help clarify the meaning of the poem. I have chosen only a few of the more memorable, or coincidentally relevant, poems.

MOON OVER MAMIE

O, Mamie minded Momma
'Til one day in Singapore
A Sailorman from Turkestan
Came knocking at the Door.

The way he knocked
On knob and lock
It shook her to the core.
She eyed the clock
Twixt tick and tock
And sighed a snappy snore.

"Raise Raise the Raisin!
No Rising Ruse will reign
With bitter pitter patter
Upon My windowpane!

"Oh, please no longer potter
Upon my poppa's pane."
Mamie mocked the Merchantman
Who knocked with might and main.

SONG OF THE MOON

Now that the star
Has replaced the horse,
You must hitch your wagon
To something, of course.

Choose something controlled.
No thing that'll bite,
Something nice in a regular
Pink satellite.

A platform for space
A firm form for face
In the Mondalite,
Tuesdalite, Wednesdalite chase.

At a Thursdalite,
Fridalite, Satellite pace.
(The blue laws prevent
any Sundalite race.)

[The drawings accompanying the above poem show (1) Churchy on roller skates, wearing a Russian-style fur hat and coat, being pulled by a bear; and (2) Churchy, in the same hat and coat, standing in a floating teacup, looking outward and downward at stars, while the bear floats on a tether.]

THE PRINCE OF POMPADOODLE

The Prince of Pompadoodle
Lived behind a castle wall,
Behind a moat, behind a guard
Of twenty soldiers tall.

The Prince of Pompadoodle
Was the safest man alive.
Each day he wrote how long he'd lived
And multiplied by five.

The Prince of Pompadoodle
Would survive, he did decide,
Five times as long as he had been
Alive before he died.

The Prince of Pompadoodle
Called in the castle sage
For his advice in this pursuit
Of long and fulsome age.

The Prince of Pompadoodle
Heard in horror from this friend
That somewhere in the palace
Was a cur who'd seek his end!

The Prince of Pompadoodle
Scarce could credit a belief
His years might soon be sneaked away
By some ungrateful thief.

The Prince of Pompadoodle
Sent his every friend away
And sat alone, safe, locked alive,
To count another day.

The Prince of Pompadoodle
May hoard each empty hour,
But none can know; no word comes from
The silent stony tower.

TO PRINCESS MARGARET ROSE

The last photograph and a half of you,
Over four million miles of sea,
Broke a heart already unsteady
Over six million miles of sea.

We've suffered,
We've suffered much with you,
Over nine million miles of sea (more or less)
None the less we are ready
Over ten million miles of sea.

With the old and the new
And the borrowed and blue
Over twelve million miles of sea,
We'd give up the throne
(Had we one of our own)
And invite the family to tea.

But what would we do with the children?
And what would we do with the sea?
We'd really no notion
There was so much Ocean.
Love and kisses, the Mrs. and me.

THE OLYMPICS

We salute you, oh, games of the ages
But the game of an age turning gray
Was when I carried the torch on Veronica's porch
In the city of Athens, Ga.

Right, Wiley Cat was modeled after Sen. Joe McCarthy, believe it or not! Kelly did get his licks in from time to time.

The Providence, Rhode Island newspaper that carried Pogo Possum recognized the squinty eyes, the five o'clock shadow, and ominous pronouncements and refused to run the strip whenever Wiley Cat appeared. Kelly responded by firing a little in-joke in their direction. A chicken (who's name I can't recall) appeared. Wiley Cat sez, "She's a Red! Worse, she's a Rhode Island Red! She mustn't see me here!!" For the next couple of weeks he was very much present in the strip, but he wore a bag over his head! The paper still wouldn't publish it.

Most of Kelly's satire and plays-on-words went over my head as a kid looking at the comic strip, but I never failed to read it just because of the wonderful artwork. I vaguely remember the bats and the groundchuck, but of course I remember Pogo, Albert and my favorite, Churchy.

Like Naemenson, I still check the calendar to see which day of the week Friday the Thirteenth falls on each month! I do have a clear memory of those strips wherein all the animals hid in their homes and refused to come out when Friday the Thirteenth fell on a Friday.

Has there ever been a comic strip, or any other publication, that so artfully combined the literate, the classicly allusive, the gentility and the downright hilarity of Pogo? Walt Kelly wrote that he never considered himself a satirist. He felt that the limitations imposed by the vastness of his readership, forbade such subtlty. He compared himself, unfavorably, to Jonathan Swift. Well, I've read Gulliver's Travels and, maybe it's just me, but I didn't think the Liliputians were as funny and clever as those three bats, Bewitched, Bothered and Bemildred, upon being told that something (I disremember what) was, both, typical and new, said, individually and in sequence, "Typical?", "New?", "And Tyler, too?"

Donkey Bonny brays a carol, Antelope cantaloup, "lope with you!

Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon, Willy, folly go through!

"My Anna played piano on a hunk of two by four"

ór

"My Anna played piano with a length of two by four"

was, I am 'almost' sure, simply one of the lead lines to

"A sailor man from Turkistan came knockin' at the door"....Walt seldom had Churchy or Howland or Pogo or Albert DO a complete song..(remember, most of these were in 3 panel daily strips).....and "Anna played pianna" was tossed in at a different time than "Mamie minded Mama"...maybe a year or two apart. ("Deck Us All" was done in various degrees of completeness on various occasions.)

Part of the point of what Walt did was; that people mess up, forget, change, invent and mis-hear stuff...the characters were forever amusing us by being us....
