Boy it is so hot
My brain is melting tonight
Ninety two degrees

249. Is There No Home For Me

The pigs eat slop
But I eat not
Is there no home for me?
Should I return?
My bridge is burned.
Is there no home for me?

The lowest, all,
My greatest fall,
Is there no home for me?
For hope is gone.
There is no dawn.
Is there no home for me?

My father's care,
My brother there,
They taught me right from wrong
But can I go,
My troubles show,
Can I rejoin the throng?

With mercy fair
I must go there.
Is there a home for me?
For love is strong
And must go on,
There is a home for me.

248. Gibberish

All my friends have heads, she said
And everything is red
What you like's a yellow trike
But dinosaurs are dead

247. Long Drive

Drive drive drive your car
Ever down the roads
Kick and cry and sleep and scream
Until your mom explodes

246. Too Hot

Too hot to think
Too hot to be creative
So hot I stink,
Can't take initiative

245. The Sleepy, Sleepy Thomas

The sleepy, sleepy Thomas crawled into his jammies,
Yawned a huge yawn and climbed upon my knees.
He rubbed his eyes and counted a few sheep.
Then the sleepy, sleepy Thomas laid down and fell asleep.

244. Hogwarts

Hogwarts. Hogwarts. Hoggy warty Hogwarts.
How I wish I were there.
Won't you let me come to you?
I'd jump the vanishing stair.

I'd run through corridors black or red.
I'd dine in your Great Hall.
I want to hear the Fat Lady sing,
Or dance at the Yule Ball.

Hogwarts, won't you let me in?
I'll bring my own soft pillow. 
I'd never sneak out of my bed
Or freeze the Whomping Willow.

I'd never use the Weasleys' map 
To get to Hogsmeade grounds.
I'd never tease Mrs. Norris,
Or scare Filch with rude sounds.

Oh Hogwarts won't you teach me, please,
How to use a wand?
Won't you teach me how to fly 
Or how to clean a pond?

Won't you teach me spells and charms
Or how to mix a potion?
Won't you teach me how to stop 
A train that is in motion?

Hogwarts, hear my plaintive cry
Across this little nation.
Hogwarts I will come to you.
I'm here at King's Cross Station.
