“Clara Cleech”
The poorest juggler ever seen
was clumsy Clara Cleech,
who juggled a bean, a nectarine,,
a pumpkin, and a peach.
She juggled a stone, a slide trombone,
a celery stalk, a stick,
a seeded roll, a salad bowl,
a bagel, a boot, a brick.

“Baloney Belly Billy”
Baloney Belly Billy
Swallows anything for cash,
If you offer him a penny,
He’ll chew paper from the trash,
He’ll eat guppies for a nickel,
For a dime, he’ll eat a bug,
And a quarter will convince him
That he ought to eat a slug.

“I Wear the Most Amazing Shoes”
I wear the most amazing shoes
The world has ever seen.
The left is pink and purple,
And the right is gold and green.
They have ribbons, beads, and spangles,
Buckles, bangles, belts, and bows,
And assorted silver sequins
That illuminate the toes.
