When I see...

I seen a peanut stand
Heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye
But I be done seen 'bout everything
When I see a elephant fly

I seen a front porch swing
Heard a diamond ring
I seen a polka-dot railroad tie
But I be done seen 'bout everything
When I see a elephant fly

I saw a clothes horse, rear up and buck
And they tell me that a man once made a vegetable truck
(I didn't see that, I only heard
But just to be sociable, I'll take your word)

I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die
But I be done seen 'bout everything
When I see a elephant fly

Happy birthday, Walt Disney!

December 5 is my brother's birthday. As a kid, he LOVED that he shared it with Walt Disney. Heck, I'm sure he still does.

Loved Disney. Except the theme parks. Never, ever again.

Dec. 5th is my birthdate, too. Didn't realize I shared it with Mr. Disney!

But wait, wasn't he an overt anti-semite and racist?
