Dinosaurs

Today's middle dive was the birthplace of the next most popular hand-clap rhyme. Alexis and Sada have been making up songs and claps to go with the songs to scare away boredom and the creation for today is called "Dinosaurs."

Dinosaurs in the land of the mists
Hit by a comet and don't exist
We've never seen one but we know
They all lived a long time ago.

The tune is "Down on the banks of the Hanky Panky," with a little creative liberty. They're both poets and didn't even know it!

  1. Hey, get them singing it on video and post it for Justin. He would LOVE this!

    Also, maybe you could sing a little ditty "on the banks of the hanky panky" for the class...My song ends with "where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky"...I'm thinkin' it doesn't end there. Ya thinky?

    Sort of like Down on the Banks of the Hanky Panky, just don't pound on the inside drum so much that Mom thinks you took a soccer ball in or anything. LOVE YOU! Trac`
