Boo Who!

Who will wind Grandfather Tick Tock, hold Esmeralda on his knee
Who’ll read books with Sturdly Bookworm, watch ICU2TV
Who’ll pull cartoons from his top hat, ride a funny little trike
Who will teach us to eat all our food, not just the things we like

Who’ll parade around with Gertrude, send his laundry to Wash-Ing
Who will live down at the City Dump, of kindness be the King
Who’ll teach fairness, truth and honor, but above all else who shall
Be the one to unbreak all the hearts of every Patches Pal
