FRIZZLE-FRAZZLE (Don’t Touch the Marble)


Hey, Kids!

Ya see that little silver marble
Hanging inside the wooden box?
The one suspended inside the box like magic?

See how the marble just hangs there,
Never going up or coming down,
Free from the stingy
Laws of gravity?

Don’t touch the marble.
Whatever you do,
Don’t touch the marble.

If you do,
The marble will go nuts.
It’ll frizzle and frazzle
And fly all over the place.

You can’t stop it from
Frizzling, frazzling
Or flying.
Even with your hand.

Who knows?
The marble might
Break the box
And hurt you.

But eventually
The marble will slow down.
And then it will stop,
And go back to hanging there.

So whatever you do,
Don’t touch the marble.
You understand?

Don’t touch the marble.
