g for the knight, they saw a horse
who came riding up to them, carrying shiny armor on his back (horses
are much faster without knights riding on them).

"That is the horse and that is the armor of the horrible knight,"
said the dragon.

"Oh no," said the knight, "It looks like he is gone. A knight does
not usually leave his horse or take off his armor. But what will
become of his kingdom? The townspeople will need a new knight to
fight for them."

"You could take over for him!" said the dragon who was now so happy
that fire shot out of his nose again.

So the knight put on the armor, and it fit extremely well. He hopped
on the horse and rode it perfectly. The dragon was very impressed.
With the pet dragon now safely home, the brave knight went inside to
tell the princess the good news.

"That's fantastic!" said the princess, "Now you have time to fix
that door that you broke."

As the brave knight fixed the tower door, the dragon watched him and
laid down for a nap. The dragon felt much better knowing that
despite the same armor, this new knight was not so horrible.

DISHWASHIA!

Who washes the dishes, inside the dishwasher?
It can't be the work of the furry mish-mosher

You might think they're cleaned by a set of scrub-tubbers
Or even a pair of guck blasting dirt clubbers

I assure you, my friends, that this isn't the case
Creatures like those don't belong in this place

The truth is more simple, without clubbing troubles
It's a traveling crew of tiny blue bubbles

The dishwashing bubbles are famously famous
As you probably know, so no need to explain this

At first a few bubbles go collect the detergent
They spread it around, in a manner most urgent

The smart bubbles talk and they formulate plans
While younger ones scour the pots and the pans

DJ Bubbles is always in charge of the tunes
As they dance down the forks and then dance up the spoons

Parachute Bubbles drop down from above
And they ski down the plates to help give them a scrub

Then out comes the water from every direction
But not from up top, that's the only exception

When the warm water sprays, if you're not very choosy
The teacups get filled and they make a jacuzzi

Some bubbles swim round, in the pool at the bottom
Where goggles are best for your eyes if you got 'em

The talented bubbles put on soap-sudsy skates
And they fly down the bowls to jump over the plates

Every once in a while there's a new kind
