We seem to enjoy a video (several pictures with audio included) every now and again. I came across this, and it gave me a belly laugh.
Hooked on Phonics (I'm not sure if that went global or not) missed a critical area of emphasis, punctuation.
He'd done several variations of this routine, including for president Reagan, but... music with Dean-o adding the punctuation seemed appropriate for this forum. Also, it gave me the biggest chuckle.

I don't know if it is a cat or a dog !
Speaking of pets, I never realised my cat was so eco-friendly
Good grief, A GPIB cable (GrandPa's Interface Bus) as part of the dreadlocks! And some MHV connectors, along with Neutrik PO316 jacks (or are they banana plugs)?
This one doesn't make me laugh, but it sure makes me smile. Plus, I feel like we can all use it.
Delilah, the devourer of others’ lunches

Shel Silverstein is so nice. As is Joachim Ringelnatz, german author
there is no shortage of it and
boys and girls cannot withstand,
letting it run through their hand.
And even if you fall on your nose,
it won't hurt you at all, I suppose,
because the sand breaks your fall.
Children's fingers slowly burrowing,
many new things they're discovering,
heaven and nothing at all.

Sandbox
The best plaything for kids is sand,there is no shortage of it and
boys and girls cannot withstand,
letting it run through their hand.

yes, good translation is an art for itself partly redoing the work of the original author in another language
