Hula Hoop And Frisbees And Silly String Oh My! Poem by Joe Rosochacki
Hula Hoop And Frisbees And Silly String Oh My!
The last Wham-O co-owner died today,
Richard Kneer was a partner Arthur "Spud" Melin,
They launched an empire of fun,
The toys they manufactured are played by young people today.
Frisbees and Hula-Hoops you can buy in any Wal-Mart,
The sling shots have gotten better,
But what Wham-O is create fun,
You could glide on water underneath the summer sun,
Slip ‘n' Slide
May be Paul Simon had a ride on one.
For now we have Nintendo's Wii, Sony Playstation,
So much fun, bathers tossing Frisbees on the beach,
SuperBalls bouncing so high, higher than you could reach,
Silly String was getting a bad name from a mother that killed her kid,
And sprayed the string across the grave,
That was one lesson didn't have to teach.

It makes some mothers weep To think that other chemicals are added to keep The plastic soft and supple for the kid To get his daily, man-made feed. It's now passe To say, 'Better living through chemistry' But it's still true, most emphatically! s
