Jeffrey’s Rocket

A bit of light verse I found in my notes from a couple of years ago.

I don’t mind if all the rich folks
Go up in Jeffrey’s rocket
And blast into outer space
I certainly understand the desire
To get the hell out of this place

But they are the ones who cause this world
To be all out of whack
So I don’t mind if all the rich folks
Go up in Jeffrey’s rocket
As long as they don’t come back

I was going through my “unfinished lyrics” folder when I found this little thing. I’m obviously never going to make it into a full-fledged song, so I decided to post it here. It reminds me of the humorous light verse that Ogden Nash used to do in the 1930s and 1940s.

Are you be interested in light verse? I might try my hand at more.

Here’s another short verse I wrote a while back:

The li’l blue-checked birdie went twitter

This might be of interest as well:

Does everyone who has a dog make up songs about them?
