  a 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class.

  she presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.

  it's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders.

  Just got back in from shovelling a bit and making snow angels and Trying to make a snow man, although the snow is not quite right for that...unless I'm doing it wrong...hm.

  And yes...lots of snow balls.

  Juniper nailed me pretty good. I got her back though.

  War Child

  Who will save the war child baby?
  Who controls the key?
  The web we weave is thick and sordid,
  Fine by me.
  
  At times of war we're all the losers,
  There's no victory.
  We shoot to kill and kill your lover,
  Fine by me.
  
  War child, victim of political pride.
  Plant the seed, territorial greed.
  Mind the war child,
  We should mind the war child.
  
  I spent last winter in New York,
  And came upon a man.
  He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,
  He said, "I fought in Vietnam."
  
  Beneath his shirt he wore the mark,
  He bore the mark with pride.
  A two inch deep incision carved,
  Into his side.
  
  War child, victim of political pride.
  Plant the seed, territorial greed.
  Mind the war child,
  We should mind the war child.
  
  Who's the loser now? Who's the loser now?
  We're all the losers now. We're all the losers now.

  Zombie

  Another head hangs lowly,
  Child is slowly taken.
  And the violence caused such silence,
  Who are we mistaken?
  
  But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
  In your head, in your head they are fighting,
  With their tanks and their bombs,
  And their bombs and their guns.
  In your head, in your head, they are crying...
  
  In your head, in your head,
  Zombie, zombie, zombie,
  Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
  In your head,
  Zombie, zombie, zombie?
  Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...
  
  Another mother's breakin',
  Heart is taking over.
  When the vi'lence causes silence,
  We must be mistaken.
  
  It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
  In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
  With their tanks and their bombs,
  And their bombs and their guns.
  In your head, in your head, they are dying...
  
  In your head, in your head,
  Zombie, zombie, zombie,
  Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
  In your head,
  Zombie, zombie, zombie?
  Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

  I particularly like the religious undertones...

  revolution

  You say you want a revolution
  Well you know
  We'd all love to change the world
  You tell me that it's evolution
  Well you know
  We'd all love to change the world
  But when you talk about destruction
  Don't you know you that can count me outDon't you know it's gonna be alright [x3]
  
  You say you got a real solution
  Well you know
  We'd all love to see the planYou ask me for a contribution
  Well you know
  We're all doing what we can
  But if you want money for people with minds that hate
  All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
  Don't you know it's gonna be alright [x4]
  
  You say you'll change the constitution
  Well you know
  We'd all love to change your headYou tell me it's the institution
  Well you know
  You better free your mind instead
  But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
  You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
  Don't you know know it's gonna be alright [x3]
  Alright [x7]
