yeah and especially you when you are
playing a game with a friend don't trust
the score to memory mm-hmm because each
player just might remember a different
score if you don't have a pencil here's
a great way to keep score it's fun too
you crumple up little bits of paper any
kind of paper newspaper a tissue and you
make ten little ba*ls for each player
here's ten for you come I got ten for me
and if you don't want to play with
little ba*ls of paper you can play with
ten paper clips and if you don't want to
play with paper clips you can play with
ten pennies actually you can do use ten
anything's you know and then when you're
playing the game is yours because you're
the other person when you're playing the
game every time one of the players
misses a point the winning player gets
to take one little thingy and add it to
his or her own collection and by the end
of the game the one who has taken all of
the opponents little thingies is the
winner on the winner these are mine mine

Empire State Building because you
couldn't fit in the elevator love it
Robert do you know how to play Simon
Says yeah yeah okay well this is a story
that's kind of like Simon Says don't you
think so yeah and this is a story about
how the most wonderful and famous Easter
music got written and every time you
hear me say the words stand up or he
stood up what are you gonna do stand up
that's what you can do at home every
time I talk about anybody standing up
you jump to your feet and stand up let's
practice that and so the king stood up
and then whenever I talk about anybody
sitting down or I say he sat down you
sit down all right have you got it it's
simple it's simple and so the story
starts the great composer George
Frederick Handel felt very honored
because the king of England had asked
him to write some music that would be
wonderful
Honda went to the palace and he are you
ready stood up in front of the King
because everybody stands up in front of
the king and he asked his majesty music
do you want me to write and the king
said said something traverses from the
Bible so Handel went home and he sat
down and he thought he thought and he
wrote his music
Honda went to rehearsal and in front of
the orchestra and the chorus he stood up
and he rehearsed them a lot he went home
that night and he sat down and he
worried the great composer worried
because Handel had written what he
called the Messiah which in Hebrew means
he who is the expected Savior or
deliverer and he named the last part of
his work the Hallelujah Chorus because
it begins praise the Lord and it's
filled with joy
well Handel wanted to come up with a
wonderful sound
do you know something with which to
begin this last section but handle did
not like what he had written and on the
night of the first performance of the
Messiah Handel are you ready
stood up in front of his orchestra
thinking to himself oh my chorus isn't
going to be so wonderful the king
arrived and the King sat down in the
Royal Box but when it came time for the
Hallelujah Chorus the king was so moved
that he actually stood up jumping to his
feet tears streaming down his face
because it was so beautiful everybody
expected the king to sit down but he
didn't do it well since no Englishman
remained seated while his King is
standing up everybody else in the
audience stood up as well it created a
sense of sensation you know the noise of
all of those people jumping to their
feet made such a racket that it created
just the sound that the composer Handel
was looking for for his Hallelujah
Chorus and until the very end of the
Hallelujah Chorus the king did not sit
down sit down and from that time until
this whenever there is a performance of
the Messiah and if you're really lucky
someday you'll get to go to hear a
performance of the Messiah tradition has
it that the moment the Hallelujah Chorus
begins the audience stands up jumping to
their feet and at the end of it what do
they do
[Music]
did you do and without one Simon Says
[Music]
what are you doing oh I've decided to
make my last flee and become a poet yeah
I never heard of a dog poet what did you
ever hear of a bird poet no I got the
heart of a bird poet neither Mother
Goose ring a bell
yes you're right and what would your
poetry be all about oh it's about two
dogs laughs my first poem is about Rita
a basset hound and her revenge on a
cruel master I'm all ears I could tell
Rita Meeta never eater had a master who
wouldn't feed her she made her master
pay his dues she ate his wallet and his
shoes you know according to one ancient
Southwest Indian legend there were a lot
of Indian tribes that believed in one
main God and she was a kind of Mother
Nature figure well one day this Great
Spirit decided something was missing up
in the sky she had made the animals on
the earth and the fish in the sea but
there was nothing up in the sky so the
Great Spirit decided to create a bird
unfortunately she know what a bird
looked like so she borrowed a blanket
from the Indians and she folded it so
that one corner came over and met the
other corner and then she opened it up
once again she folded it so that one
edge came over and met the center line
that she had created there we go and she
folded it so the other edge came over
and met the other center line there we
go and now it looked like a teepee and
Indian tent keep out the cold she folded
one flap over to meet the other flap and
then she held it up
she realized that the bird was going to
exist both in the heavens and on earth
so she took the point that was pointing
up to the heavens and she folded them
down so that it pointed to the earth and
now it began to look like a bird because
you could see the head and the beak
she put her thumb underneath and her
pointer finger on top and pulled it down
between the two flaps to signify the
joining of heaven and earth she breathed
life into it and she had created a bird
and it began to eat and that was good
and that's how the bird was created
according to one ancient Indian legend

its way and whoever can find the
surprise in time can say this year the
surprise is mine from coast to coast the
people came to find the surprise that
had no name from a distant corner of the
city
they went down one coast it was quite
pretty but there was no surprise what a
pity so they went back up to the city
they came from a point across the land
to the other coast
it was quite grand but there was no
surprise at hand they went to the Queen
and they said we demand that you give us
a hint where shall we look we've bent
over backwards by hook or by crook we've
tried to find it surprise we've used our
minds we've used our eyes the Queen said
nothing the people were crushed back to
their homes the people rushed they
closed their doors and locked them tight
they shut their shutters to block out
the light and there they stayed
throughout the night but a group of kids
didn't stay in bed they went behind the
house instead and they searched high and
they stuck to it and they searched low
and said we can do it and when they saw
the surprise
they laughed it was funny because into
their arms hopped the Easter Bunny oh
