00. Apropros of absolutely nothing that's been written earlier today no sir I have this particular Elementary schoolyard taunt stuck in my head, all singsong-like:

Kindergarten baby
Stick your head in gravy
Something something something something
And sell it to the Navy

It's no Ogden Nash -- I mean, really, rhyming "baby" with "gravy" and later on, "Navy"? At best, one can describe it as a flawed masterwork. No doubt some 7-year-old was very proud of themselves the day they chose to denigrate their Kindergarten brethren and sistren (sistern?) but the fact remains that I can't for the life of me remember the third, and probably critical, line in the quatrain. All I can come out with is "wash it out with sauerkraut" and while it's a nice advanced internal rhyme, it just doesn't jibe as it should. Any suggestions?

01. I also realized today that, when you think of it, "velveeta" is a truly obscene word. That is all.

I remember that! But in my version, it had a different end:

...
ASK me no more questions
tell me no more lies
Ms Suzy told me all of this
the day before she
DIED her hair in purple, dyed her hair in pink
died her hair in polka-dots
and washed it down the
SINK me in the ocean,
sink me in the sea,
flush me down the toilet,
but please don't pee on me!

....I like your version better. :)
