Mr. Brown The Circus Clown

Mr. Brown, the circus clown puts his clothes on upside down. He wears his hat upon his toes and socks and shoes upon his nose. He ties his ties around his thighs and wraps his belt around his eyes. He hangs his earrings from his hips and stockings from his fingertips. He puts his glasses on his feet and shirt and coat around his seat. And when he's dressed, at last he stands and walks around upon his hands. --Kenn Nesbitt

I Taught My Cat to Clean My Room

I taught my cat to clean my room, to use a bucket, brush and broom, to dust my books and picture frames, and pick up all my toys and games. He puts my pants and shirts away, and makes my bed, and I should say it seems to me it's only fair he puts away my underwear. In fact, I think he's got it made. I'm not too happy with our trade. He may pick up my shoes and socks, but I clean out his litterbox. Kenn Nesbitt

I Named My Dogs the Strangest Names

I named my dogs the strangest names, not simply "Spot" or "Rover." Instead I named them "Fetch" and "Stay" and "Here Boy" and "Roll Over." Not "Lassie," "Patch," or "Fido." No, instead they're "Shake" and "Crawl" and "Turn Around" and "Take a Bow" and "Come" and "Wave" and "Ball!" I gave them these abnormal names to see what they would do. I thought it would be fun but, sad to say, that isn't true. And now I'm sort of sorry for the crazy names I used. My dogs cannot do any tricks; they're all just too confused. --Kenn Nesbitt
