Gupery Joe and Mike

Let's go, let's go says Gupery Joe,

Put on your seven league slippers

And we'll sail over the ocean flow

Like a couple of China clippers

We'll see Shanghai and the River Huai

By way of the Southern Sea.

We'll have some toast on the Golden Coast

And stop in Berlin for tea,

We'll ride our bikes on the Flanders dikes

And catch a fish in the Seine

Then do a few miles in the British Isles,

And back to the States again.

You can go if you like says Muggery Mike,

But I'm too busy right here.

I've got to grope in the microscope

To study an earwig's ear.

There's a swarm of bees in the neighbor's trees

And the peas are beginning to set.

I've found a weed with a wingery seed

And haven't looked into it yet,

So I'll say goodbye when you're set to fly

And see you off at the sea.

And when you get home you can talk about Rome

And keep me company.
