 * __ City Lights __**
 * When America turns to its nights **
 * The Sky shines bright with city lights **
 * Flashing dazzling earthbound stars **
 * Seen by planes and trains and cars **
 * On a dark cold night what shines bright, **
 * a city’s lights **
 * They sparkle like the sun, until the night is done **
 * When America turns to its nights **
 * The sky shines bright with city lights
 * __A Scientist__ **
 * There once was a scientist who drank rum **
 * He told his friend stay away old chum **
 * It’ll keep you safe or at least some **
 * The next thing he did was set fire to chewing gum **
 * Then he froze a rubber band **
 * Directly to his hand **
 * Mixed up acid and cheese **
 * That kept making him sneeze **
 * Snapped a gun like a twig **
 * And threw it at an oil rig **
 * But of all the experiments he did that day **
 * The one that stood out the most was the thing he did with his breakfast toast. **

 * __ George or George __**
 * Back in the time of George Washington **
 * People had to work a ton **
 * A long time ago in Valley Forge **
 * We only were told about President George **
 * But in England there was a king **
 * Who wanted the Brits to enter the ring **
 * So he gathered some soldiers and went to Long island for an attack **
 * And he told our George he should try to beat that **
 * But Washington muddled through **
 * Although he lost numbers well over 22 **
 * The king could not believe it **
 * But the colonies were winning bit by bit **
 * One George lost and one won the war **
 * The colonies got a president and a whole lot more **

 * __ Karate __**
 * Every time I go **
 * It feels like a blow **
 * but I still love to go **
 * My legs kick up high **
 * Hitting partners in the eye **
 * I use a fake sword **
 * I never get bored **
 * Someday I will get my black belt **
 * But it will take quite blue welt **
 * Hopefully not in my eye **
 * So I can still see pie **
 * Karate has so much in store **
 * Break a board and eat some floor’ **
 * Come’s in five different flavors **
 * Have some more **

 * __ JAWS the dog __**
 * I got a dog for my birthday **
 * It came all the way from Norway **
 * But to my surprise **
 * He had dagger teeth and bloodshot eyes **
 * We named him Jaws **
 * He had long claws **
 * We tried to take him to the vet **
 * But we discovered he was not a faithful pet **
 * The vet told him to sit still **
 * Jiggle wiggle niggle **
 * The vet gave him a pill **
 * That day the vet told us he loved to eat frogs **
 * And his favorite snack was other dogs **
 * Even though he was from Norway **
 * There was absolutely no way **
 * That we would be able to keep **
 * A vicious, biting, clawing, dog snacking frog eating creep **
 * So without another peep **
 * We had him put to sleep **
 * Poor Jaws! **
 * Goodnite **
 * Sleep tight **
 * Don’t let the tick bugs bite. **

 * __ GUS __**
 * There once was a driver of a bus **
 * Whose first name was Gus **
 * He always drove to the wrong schools **
 * He even drove the bus thru a pool **
 * He ate candy while he drove **
 * And always stopped at a grove **
 * He sang songs on the trip **
 * Gus was quite a dip **
 * When were lat e to school **
 * Gus was blamed for breaking the rule **
 * No driving into a public pool **
 * Was the principals biggest rule **
 * Once we were sopping wet **
 * We all placed a bet **
 * Gus could see that Ms. Husinga **
 * would not let him get his way **
 * No more driving to the pool **
 * No more trying to being cool **
 * No more stopping at the grove **
 * No more taking students to planet Nov **
 * Gus was done with all the rules **
 * His next job was working just with tools. **
