If you survive until 2005, I hope you are exceedingly thin.

The stories he created extend the tradition of nursery rhymes.

To writ:

"Gregory Griggs, Gregory Griggs
Had 27 different wigs.
He wore them up, he wore them down,
to please the people of the town.
He wore them east, he wore them west,
And could never tell which one he liked the best."
