with something for every one...

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker 'n' too-da-loo!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloupe, 'lope with you!

Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarm bung-a-loo!

Dunk us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky dinky dink an' polly voo!
Chilly Filly's name is Chollie,
Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view halloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, woof, woof!
Tizzy seas on melon collie!
Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof, goof, goof!

"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blast on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."

He drew a dog that looked like Spiro Agnew that reduced the Old man and I to tear of laughter..

"By laughing at me, the audience really laughs at themselves, and realizing they have done this gives them sort of a spiritual second wind for going back into the battles of life."
Emmett Kelly quote

we owe old Walt a lot...no Pogo would have meant no Bloom County...maybe even no Doonesbury...thanks, Lloyd! :)

Very cute Lloyd. With only 4 days until Chris gets home I find myself singing "I'll be home for Christmas"
Kathryn E. Dec 17, 2006, 1:50am EST
Pogo!! my dad's favorite...

Great stuff, Lloyd.
This was brought to mind listening to 'Midnight Special' Saturday night when I heard it sung....

I allus loved the line
"Trolley Molley don't love Harold".....

and I will always miss Walt Kelley.

I think I will start to enjoy him.... was just too young at 4 to love him...
Mike;

I found a small possum snuggled up in my big trash can yesterday.. Truth be told I HATE the actual boogers, though I took him can and all to the woods and turned him loose...

My ALL time Favorite character was Porky Pine.

Mad Magazine did a great send up of Pogo back in the 1950s called "Gopo Gossum".
I wonder if I can find the reprint.
Thanks Lloyd. ;o)

Lloyd, this brings memories of reading the papers while standing on the hot air vent. Merry Christmas, you good Lloyd, you.

omg i have not heard of that since my dad tried to get me to read pogo. over the years, I appreciated him more and more - both my dad and walt kelley, but at 4, i was a bit lost. everything was equally great or strange to me at that age, pogo, grand canyon, a bicycle.
Kathryn E. Nov 9, 2009, 6:22pm EST
amazing song. thank you for sharing it.
Kimberly Ripley Nov 13, 2009, 10:57pm EST
