The Terrible Toy-Eatin&; Tookle Awareness Campaign:
During the holiday season, many toys lose their lives to the Terrible Toy-Eatin&; Tookle- lost under wrapping paper or set aside for shinier, newer toys.
Please, remember the toys. You can make a difference. You can save lives.</p>
<hr />
<p>You don&;t have to pick up your toys, okay?
You can leave &;em right there on the floor,
So tonight when the Terrible Toy-Eatin&; Tookle
Comes tiptoeing&; in through the crack in the door,
He&;ll crunch all your soldiers, he&;ll munch on your trucks,
He&;ll chew your poor puppets to shreds,
He&;ll swallow your Big Wheel and slurp up your paints
And bite off your dear dollies&; heads.
Then he&;ll wipe off his lips with the sails of your ship,
And making a bur pity noise,
He&;ll slither away-- but hey, that&;s okay,
You don&;t have to pick up your toys.</p>
