Chapter 5: Childhood Writings: Piano Songs

Once Upon a Time: True Stories of an Aspiring WriterWords: 1835

Some of my first pieces of voluntary, legible creative writing from preschool and kindergarten, written in a purple journal with Winnie-the-Pooh on the cover. Make of them what you will. I can't write melodies, so you'll have to imagine the sounds.

Hot Dogs

Hot dogs, hot dogs

Eat them all the way

Extra special ribbons

From ribbon parties

Hot dogs, hot dogs

Eat them all the way!

To The Letter P We Go

To the letter P we go, P we go, P we go

To the letter P we go

What a fun fun day!

I will see the letter P, so will you

Here we come P,

here we come to see you

To the letter P we go, P we go, P we go

To the letter P we go

What a fun fun day!

Good as new

Good as new

Our Dog Named "B"

(B being a nickname for our dog)

Our dog named B

Can fetch a frisbee

Our dog named B

Is B.b.b

Our dog named B

We love our dog!

The New Dog

We got a new dog,

We liked it so much

We liked it all the time!

Pooh Bear

The Pooh

What word is missing?

It's the one that comes before

Winnie the Pooh is the answer

Nest (looks more like Mest; I don't know; I can't make out this title. I will call it: NEST: Newly English Speaking Trouble.)

I did have an epiphany on this one. There was a song on an old Disney Sing-A-Long songs tape where Mickey and friends went camping that had a similar lyric pattern and similar words, to a point. Having heard the song recently, it hit me like a ton of bricks where I might have gotten the idea.

Show your horse

Here we go

Sure is rounding you you know

Join the show

Jack and Joe

forgot the grates

soon now!

Music of the CS (yeah, I don't know what it stands for)

Oh the music of the CS.

It sounds pretty

Oh the music of the CS

It sounds very very pretty

I like it

We like it

We like it

I like it

Oh, the music of the CS

It sounds very very pretty

Oh the day!

The stories get better from here, I promise.
