O ROCKETS WON'T YOU COME TO EARTH

by Timothy F. O'Mrr, aged 6, 7/1/01

O sharptooth, will you bite?
O frog, will you hop?
O rockets, won't you come to earth
And be in Ireland?
Or America, or Africa
Or even a land shaped like a W
(aside: that land isn't real!)
O sharptooth, will you bite?
O frog, will you hop?
O rockets, won't you come to earth
When you hear old Ranger bark?
O sharptooth, will you bite?
O frog, will you hop?
O rockets, won't you come to earth
And be in Ireland?
Or America, or Africa
Or even a land shaped like a W
(aside: that land isn't real!)

Tim sang this at breakfast this morning and asked me to write it down on the Internet where everybody could see it. If I could write music I'd give you the tune. The "old Ranger" line is borrowed from Pete Seeger's version of Raccoon's Got A Bushy Tail, and that debt is hereby acknowledged.

There is a tune, and it's not the tune to Raccoon's Got A Bushy Tail. I'll try to get him to sing it on Paltalk or something...
