The Crazy Candy Monster
During our last term break, when J. and I were in Toba, it was cold and there was not a lot to do. At some point the two of us started writing a song that could be played for young children around Halloween--it was called "The Crazy Candy Monster" and was inspired by my own rapid consumption of candy sent to me by my friend Dave. J. came up with the tune to the verses and the first couple of lines to those and I wrote the rest. The lyric is:
Creep, creep, creep away 'cause the Crazy Candy Monster's coming
"
The Crazy Candy Monster's clad in jeans/his mouth is dripping jelly beans/his nose is stuffed with candy bars/ he's keep your goods in cookie jars
Crawl, crawl, crawl away because the Crazy Candy Monster's coming
You don't have to crawl so fast as he's not much good at running
The day just after Halloween/he can't fit in his favourite jeans/
He spends all day in the canteen reading Candy Digest Magazine
Stay right where you are 'cause the Crazy Candy Monster's tired
Stay just where you are 'cause he ate 'til he expired.
J. taught this song to some of her Drama clases last week. Anyway, as I went to teach my one primary level class (equivelent to sixth graders)they all had turned the lights out. They stood up and sang me this song. I guess she had told them I had written it. They were very enthusiastic about it. It was rather nice. I assumed that J. had told them to do this, but she denies that. So, it seems that they wanted to sing me the song. It's a smash hit.

Mom and I both laughed at the candy monster song, want to hear it, maybe when we next talk? Mom goes to brainard with her sisters overnight on sat too so we won't be able to talk at the usual time. Maybe we'll try calling when it's your sat am.
Now can you write a song about Rumsfield getting the boot as that really could be a best seller?!
