Backwards Purple Elephants in My Soup
A nonsense-poem song where everyday objects do absurd things — refrigerators tap-dance, ceilings brush their teeth, doorknobs sing opera, socks grow roots. Lewis-Carroll-meets-Shel-Silverstein for kids.
My refrigerator learned to tap dance yesterday While the ceiling was brushing its teeth. The doorknob sang opera to my favorite spoon And my socks grew roots underneath.
Oh, backwards purple elephants are flying through my soup! My grandmother's telephone is doing loop-de-loops! The calendar is sneezing out confetti made of cheese! And my left shoe just graduated with 17 degrees!
I planted a rainbow in my kitchen drawer. It bloomed into Wednesday morning. The stairs are afraid of going down today, Though they're hiding behind no warning.
Backwards purple elephants are flying through my soup! My grandmother's telephone is doing loop-de-loops! The calendar is sneezing out confetti made of cheese! And my left shoe just graduated with 17 degrees!
When the moon goes grocery shopping for invisible spaghetti trees, My pencil writes in flavors like strawberry harmony. And my left shoe just graduated with 17 degrees… With a PhD in Tuesday.
