Stargirl

Here is another poem that I wrote. Tell me if you can figure out what it means...

Stargirl

I have been told

to shoot for the stars.

An impossible task for sure.

They twinkle in the night,

winking at me.

But smile back I cannot,

for here on earth I sit.

Sprawled out on the cool white sheets,

I listen to them murmur

"Stargirl, stargirl..."

(Please remember that this is just a rough draft!)

Quote for 4/13-4/19

"You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it."

-Bill Cosby-

Riddle: 4/13-4/19

Last week's riddle was:
"A man is found dead in the middle of the desert with nothing but a straw in his hands. What happened?"
Answer: "He was in a hot air balloon with some friends, but the balloon could only hold two people. So they drew straws to see who would jump out."

This week's riddle is:
"Food will help me survive, but water will kill me. What am I?"

BREAKING NEWS! IMPORTANT!

P.S. Let me know if you have any ideas for my new blog. I want to hear from you!

P.P.S. Due to starting this new blog, The Weekly Harold will not include probably not include Music and Lyrics anymore. Sing Out Loud! is a continuation of Music and Lyrics, so if you want more music, just go to singoutloud247.blogspot.com.

FYI from the Purple Dude

Come back later (a.k.a. SUNDAY) for new updates on The Weekly Harold.

In the meantime, I command you to pull your pants up to your chest, stand on one foot, and eat a bag of Rainbow Goldfish while singing along to Candy Man. Trust me, I've tried with phenomenal results.

I was cleaning out my room the other day when I came across a bunch of my old notebooks. I found some amusing poems written by the one and only: moi! Enjoy!

Mystery Meat

There it is.

It's looking at me.

How could my mother

do this to me?

Gloppy, soppy,

awful, and wet.

I haven't managed

to try any yet.

It's green and it's blue,

and maybe chartreuse.

This junk doesn't have

even one little use!

It smells like cat litter,

old cream cheese and dog doo.

Oh what am I, what am I

going to do?

Dad gave me the look,

so I'm taking a bite.

If I die, give my sister my doll,

and my best friend my kite.

Here it comes!

The fork's in my mouth.

I bet this junk will head north

'stead of south.

I clomp down my teeth

and get my very first taste.

Oh man,

this stuff is a waste.

One Inch Left

There it is!

The big red prize.

It's the one thing

I idolize.

I've gotta get closer

to the big red apple.

Then I can relax

and drink my ice cold Snapple.

Crawling, crawling,

I breaking a sweat.

But sadly,

I'm still not there yet.

My little work body

is getting real tired

to reach the one thing

that my heart desires.

Wait a minute,

I'm here! I'm here!

i made it here

with all of my gear.

My fork, my spoon,

my knife, my cup.

I start to crawl

up, up, up.

Then I take

my first bite.

And can you guess what?

It tastes just right.

More to come!

Music and Lyrics: Is it In YOUR Head?

Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy, can I come over after school? (after school)

We can hang around by the pool (hang by the pool)

Did your mom get back from her business trip? (business trip)

Is she there, or is she trying to give me the slip? (give me the slip)

You know, I'm not the little boy that I used to be

I'm all grown up now, baby can't you see

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

She's all I want and I've waited for so long

Stacy, can't you see you're just not the girl for me

I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

Stacy, do you remember when I mowed your lawn? (mowed your lawn)

Your mom came out with just a towel on (towel on)

I could tell she liked me from the way she stared (the way she stared)

And the way she said, "You missed a spot over there" (a spot over there)

And I know that you think it's just a fantasy

But since your dad walked out, your mom could use a guy like me

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

She's all I want, and I've waited so long

Stacy, can't you see you're just not the girl for me

I know it might be wrong,

but I'm in love with Stacy's mom

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on

She's all I want and I've waited for so long,

Stacy can't you see your just not the girl for me,

I know it might be wrong but oh oh (I know it might be wrong)

I'm in love with

(Stacy's mom oh oh)

(Stacys mom oh oh)

I'm in love with Stacy's mom

Riddle: 4/6-4/12

Last week's riddle/answer was:
"A farmer in California owns a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches. Each branch has exactly 12 boughs and each bough has exactly 6 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver?"
Answer: Pear trees don't produce plums!!!

This week's riddle is:
"A man is found in the middle of the desert, dead, with nothing but a straw in his hands. What happened?"
