the sound of one hand sweeping
Weird time signature change gives the effect of a hand sweeping away the song.
Weird time signature change gives the effect of a hand sweeping away the song.
From A Bargain for Frances by Russell Hoban.
One for plastic, two for china,
Three for yours and four for mine-a,
Five for tea and six for cakes,
Seven for elephants, eight for snakes,
Nine’s a trip to the candy store,
Then comes ten and ten skips more:
Backsies one, backsies two,
Backsies are no fun to do.
Careful once, careful twice,
Being careful isn’t nice.
Being friends is better.
From A Bargain for Frances by Russell Hoban.
Alligators, bears and me
Are very fond of drinking tea.
The elephant and the wiggly snake
Are happy when they eat their cake.
From A Bargain for Frances by Russell Hoban.
Now that plastic’s what I’ve got,
Backsies are what there is not.
Mother told me to be careful,
But Thelma better be bewareful.
From A Bargain for Frances by Russell Hoban.
A plastic pot can pour the tea
For my dolls and friends and me
Just as well as china.
Red is just as good as blue.
Plastic cups are all right too,
Just as good as china.
Pull the bass back. Slam in a Percy Sledge-hammer riff. Wiggle.
and plop on the top. Flap the kick on the back beat. Add all sorts of crazy textures. This isn’t a gourmet breakfast.
It’s not a week old pastry. It’s a Jam!
suspenso!
Like a butter knife fight between Spanish dancers.
