Out of Control
“The president will come to town…”
“The price of beans is coming down…”
“I’ll love you till the end of time…”
“But shooting ducks should be a crime…”
“We’ve never had a better sale…”
“We’ll have to break them out of jail…”
“The Pope arrived to lead the prayers…”
“The Dallas Cowboys beat the Bears…”
“The temperature is three below…”
“These vitamins will help you grow…”
What’s going on? Well, bless my soul!
Baby’s got the remote control.

About the Author
Bruce Lansky was first called “the King of Giggle Poetry” by the students of a school in North Miami Beach, Florida whose teacher “kidnapped” Lansky and forced him to perform at her school at needle point. The title refers to Lansky’s third poetry book: A Bad Case of the Giggles. Altogether he has written or edited 20 humorous poetry and song books which have sold about 4 million copies. He visits schools, because he loves hanging out with kids (unfortunately, his grandchildren live in Sweden, so he only sees them once a year).
