Mean Old Mr. Mustard (AKA) Sean Rooney
by Jennifer RaganDeep inside the crayon box
hidden far from view
lies Mean old Mr. Mustard
the color of yellow poo.
He bellowed from the crayon box,
“I’m not having fun!
They always pick bright yellow
to color in the sun!”
“I am the sharpest crayon.”
Cussed Mean old Mr. Mustard.
“No one colors with me.
I’m feeling rather flustered.”
“I wish that I was cherry red
or a pretty shade of blue.
But no, not me, I’ve got to be
the color of baby poo.”
Mean old Mr. Mustard
made his grand debut
But all the other crayons
met him with mixed review.
Like; What’s that crayons problem?
Did my eyes just see a cuss?
Who’s that Mean old Mr. Mustard?
Why’s he causing such a fuss?
Soon Mean old Mr. Mustard
made friends with tangerine
And Mean old Mr. Mustard
wasn’t being so mean.
Inside that box of crayons
Mean old Mr. Mustard met a crew
of kooky colorful crayons
who like to color with yellow poo.

| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 10/20/09 at 06:14 AM Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park,
Shaves in the dark
Trying to save paper.
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy him some clothes.
Keeps a ten bob note up his nose,
Such a mean old man, such a mean old man. A great take on a Beatles classic and a fun read about this mean colored crayon. I'd rather picture myself in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies!
