: To Naughty:
You've not been nice,
So I'll give you the scoop.
All you'll get
is SNOWMAN POOP!I printed the poem on the computer along with a graphic of a snowman, cut it out with decrative scissors, and glued it to colored paper. I tied the card to a ziplock full of mini-marshmallows.
I also did some with "Whoppers" candy for reindeer poop.

Here's one I did this Christmas:
Santa's looked at his list,
Even checked it twice,
And he found out,
That you ain't been nice.Since coal's so expensive,
Here's the scoop,
Santa's filling your stocking,
With snowman poop.I put a cupful of mini marshmallows in the center of plastic wrap, pulled up, and tied with curling ribbon. Taped all to the scoop of a "kitty litter scoop" purchased at the grocery store for 75 cents. Then attatched the card to the handle. (Made my card, and rubber stamped a snowman on the front).
You could do the same thing using chocolate covered raisins, and calling it reindeer poop!

This is every thing I have gotten thru the years, on the internet, about belly button brushes & the poems.
=================================================
This came from a bb.
BELLY BUTTON DUSTER.
Take a sparkly pipe cleaner, cut in half, glue a cotton ball on one end and a small bunch of flowers with bow on the other end. Place in a small plastic bag, and staple a piece of paper on it that says -
BELLY BUTTON DUSTER....FOR THE PERSON
WHO HAS EVERYTHING
=====================================http://www.angelfire.com/mo/familygathering/bellybrush.html
BELLY BUTTON BRUSH
Needed:
Any color pipe cleaner, long bead. cardboard stock printing paper, small piece of wood (optional).Cut pipe cleaner in 3" sections. Take one end and push down into bead. Roll remaining pipecleaner into a circle. (The bead & pipe cleaner now look like a small toilet brush.)
Print out this saying on cardboard stock paper and attach the small brush.
This Teeny Tiny Gift,
Does a Teeny, Tiny Chore.
But When You've Finished Using It,
You'll Be Troubled Nevermore.By The Balls of Lint That Gather,
In That Pesky Little Place;

With Care and in Good Health.

all belly buttons come in all sizes!Bend pipe cleaner in half, slightly rounding out the bend. Put a dab of glue on ends and insert both ends into a bead or beads. If desired, glue a
smaller no-hole bead to the end to cover bead hole. Print & cut out poems & package with your favorite poem.

BELLY BUTTON BRUSH by Cindy W.A belly button brush am I,
your naval lint I can't deny,
come on now, don't be so shy!
I have to ask the question why,
Why's your lint a mile high?
it reaches up into the sky!
Does it poke you in the eye?
Does it make you want to cry?
Now I see the reason why,
you try on pants before you buy,
it's cause your lint is "triple ply!"
(and lint like that you just can't buy!!!)
I need to clean & I will try
to keep your secret like a spy.
So come on, give me just one try
a belly button brush am I.
===========================================If your belly has lost it's luster,
Try our belly button duster!
------------
Don't mean to be blunt,
but take a hint. . .
This little brush is
for belly button lint!
----------If you have belly button lint,
Please keep it to a hush,
But do take this little hint. . .
A belly button brush!
--------For those with everything
and even worth a mint. . .
Here's a belly button brush
for all that fuzzy lint!

The strange thing is that outside this particular area,they cease to grow teeth, which is why all the common chickens you see are toothless descendants of the "Molar Marvels".
Anyone fortunate enough to have these teeth in their possession will find that they bring more luck than a rabbits foot or a four-leaf clover.

I'm your little prayer rock,
and this is what I'll do.
Just put me on your pillow,
till the day is through.
Then turn back the covers,
and climb into your bed,
And "whack" your little prayer rock,
will hit you on the head.
Then you will remember,
as the day is through.
To kneel and say your prayers,
as you wanted to.
Then when you are finished,
just dump me on the floor.
I'll stay there through the night,
to give you help once more.
When you get up the next morning,
"clunk" I'll stub your toe.
So you won't forget your morning prayers,
again before you go.
Put me back upon your pillow,
after your bed is made.
This clever little prayer rock,
will continue in your aid.
Because your HEAVENLY FATHER,
cares and loves you so.
He wants you to remember,
to talk to HIM, you know.
(DON'T UNWRAP ME)

For bakers, At christmas I like to give these to my neighbors, or sell at bazaars, or bake sales for the schools..they are always a big hit!
Bake some cookies, or bar cookies, you can even mix in some store bought ones. From the dollar store purchase new dust pans, I was lucky and found some in hunter green, and some in burgandy, which looked very Christmassy!..Arrange the cookies on the dust pan, wrap in colored cellophane, and tie on a bow, with this poem on a tag:
I was baking some cookies
When they dropped on the floor
So I scooped them right up
And rushed them to your door!
