| Excerpt - The Boy Who Cried Fabulous When Roger started out for school,
His mother set a simple rule.
She said, "Now Roger, you go straight
Straight to class and don't be late."
Roger tried hard to obey,
He knew that he should not delay.
He shouldn't wander or explore
But then he came upon a store,
Its windows full of lovely clothes
So colorful that Roger froze,
Then clapped his hands in fits of glee
And shouted out in ecstacy:
"What a fabulous coat, is it silk or wool?
What a fabulous bell, can I give it a pull?
What a fabulous door, does it open wide?
What a fabulous store, can I come inside?"
