Yummy, Yummy, Yummy My sweet tooth craves something Sugary in my tummy I don’t want to let hunger happen to me But my break is almost over and I just can’t decide There’s that Whatchamacallit sitting on my desk But I need to break out of the ordinary And maybe taste the rainbow Standing in…

I Don’t Know
Maybe my dress was too tight I don’t know Maybe my skirt was too short I don’t know Maybe my blouse was too low I don’t know Or my yoga pants too firm fitting I don’t know Maybe my maxi dress was too loose, How that one strip falls off my shoulder I don’t know…
Friday Night Delights
