Conroy ~ Homeschool Parody of Convoy

Here's a little homeschool ditty I wrote. Hope it makes you smile. Because you Might As Well Smile!

{IM]
Hello?,
*BUZZ*, came the message from Momof4.
You online, Titus2?
PBS is having a drive, no cartoons for John!
Handwriting without tears is making Katie cry,
and I forgot to thaw the meat for dinner.
Mercy sakes alive, sounds like I hear Conroy!

Was the middle of the day on the sixth of May
Mom searching the catalogs
Katie and John with their pj's on
And Jimmy dissecting frogs
He is 1/2 way done at One "o" 1
In the middle of his science book
Mom types, "Titus, you ready for next year?
"Well, I'm about to put my order in."

CHORUS
''Cause we got our little Conroy
Sleepin' through the night.
Yeah, we got toddler John boy,
And some that ain't quite right?
Come on and join us homeschoolers
We're in coop classes each Friday
Where will teach even our preschoolers
About the U-S-A.
CONROY!!!!

Hello,
*Smiley Face*,
Titus2, You online?
Where'd you say you found those history sites?
I'm dressed to my shoes and shined my sink, and heading out the door for park day.
I'll have my cell. Then I'll be at the library till closing time.
My folding carts are loaded down with overdue library books.

By the time we arrived at Wallace Park,
We'd sung eighty-five songs in all.
We first made a stop at a nearby McDonald's,
We read the menu on the wall.
Uh, Ma'am is there a holiday today;
Shouldn't these kids be at school right now?
"We homeschool", I say, "and we're done for the day."
"Please make it to go, we're late anyhow."

[Chorus] ''Cause we got our little Conroy
Sleepin' through the night.
Yeah, we got toddler John boy,
And some that ain't quite right?
Come on and join us homeschoolers
We're in coop classes each Friday
Where will teach even our preschoolers
About the U-S-A.
CONROY!!!!

I'm back, Titus2.
Can you send me a URL for that last web page.
Titus2? BRB,
Titus2. You online yet?
FYI, the thrift store's having a huge booksale today!
Mercy sakes, we better get down there before the good deals are gone!
Meet you there in an hour!

Well, we pushed our buggies over to aisle 4
Like broadband highspeed connection
We culled through all the romances novels
Filling our carts with our selections
By the time we hit that check out,
The shelves were looking real thin:
I found a book on Washington
Thought it would sell on ebay for 10.
We found flashcards, shoes, and blocks,
And clothes of ev'ry size.
Yeah, the dish aisle was full'a cheap wares,
And stuff to please your eyes.
Well, we shopped till close and we went for broke
With 1,000 screamin' nuts
and ten non-English speaking immigrants
waiting in line behind us.

The IM read - Momof4 to AlliesMom, you there?
Hey,
*BUZZ*
Alliesmom?
Say, you mind picking me up for Mother's Night Out?
Yeah, dh's watching the kids, and I need a night out!

Well, we walked through the door at half past six.
Prepared for a great time
A couple dozen moms met us there
We laughed and ate and forgot the grind
"This is Titus2 and I'm Momof4.
"I said it's great to meet you face to face."
Yes, let's do this again sometime soon
"Until then, Cya in cyberspace."

''Cause we got our little Conroy
Sleepin' through the night.
Yeah, we got toddler John boy,
And some that ain't quite right?
Come on and join us homeschoolers
We're in coop classes each Friday
Where will teach even our preschoolers
About the U-S-A.
CONROY!!!!

LOL, K, Titus2. Why you still up?
Yes, I'm almost done here.
Well, mercy sakes girl, I better get to bed.
TTYL.
Night.

Bye!
