chickadee 23
To keep himself upbeat
He would dance then every day.
And he slowly got control
Of his gangly arms that way.
So whenever he felt restless,
To keep his mind awake,
He would raise up all eight hands
And request a quick dance break.
Perhaps you wish to know,
What does Ogbert do today?
He's a whirling traffic cop
In the ocean's waterways.
And when he has a day off
He visits Mr. Squid,
And the two of them go dancing
Like he did—when just a kid.
