think up

some birds.

That’s what you can do.

You can think about yellow

or think about blue . . .

You can think about red.

You can think about pink.

You can think up a horse.

Oh, the THINKS you can think!

Oh, the THINKS

you can think up

if only you try!

If you try,

you can think up

a GUFF going by.

And you don’t have to stop.

You can think about SCHLOPP.

Schlopp. Schlopp. Beautiful schlopp.

Beautiful schlopp

with a cherry on top.

You can think about gloves.

You can think about SNUVS.

You can think a long time

about snuvs and their gloves.

You can think about

Think of black water.

Think up a white sky.

Think of BLOOGS blowing by.

Think a ship.

Think up a long trip.
