Animals can smell your dreams Or so I have read That explains the constant sniffing Under your bed Or so I have read It says it right here And did you know That mixing paint with milk will make it clear?

Barber poles are found in the wild And caught in a cage If you count the stripes You can determine their age Or so says the sage That authored this page Who owns a self-consuming timepiece Called the chronophage

Everything you hear is a fact And the opposite is also correct If you swallowed up the planet You would be a wiser man It would be inside your head So I have read

You may not believe this But it has been shown The reason clouds are white Is that they're made out of bone And when I found out I slapped my own face For now I know why skeletons Are up in outer space

Someday in the distant future So I have read Microscopic astronauts Will land on your head There's so much to know Can't put this book down A mime is the hybrid offspring Of a human and a clown

Everything you hear is a fact And the opposite is also correct If you swallowed up the planet You would be a wiser man It would be inside your head Or so I have read
