Children’s and Parents’ Lyrics/Story
Here's my latest brainstorm: I am wildly crazy over my
girlfriend's 3 yo granddaughter. Charlotte loves to play hide and seek
with me, so I personalized Frere Jacques
for her. She loved it, even recalling some of the verses a week
later. Obviously, any name can be
plugged in. When I sang it to my neighbor's son who has a 4yo dtr, he had
a big grin on his face; not particularly effusive, he thought I "had a
winner." I can imagine an adult singing this out loud while
“searching” for the child. I also think
these songs might come with illustrations – an
audio-poetry-song-book. [Not sure
the age range: 2 or 3 to…?] The last
piece actually is a satire for harried parents.
Anyway, would love your ideas, especially if you know someone in the
publishing-audio book-interactive media fields.
Where Is Charlotte? [or Insert child’s name]
[To the tune of Frere Jacques]Where Is Charlotte? [or Insert child’s name]
Where is Charlotte? Where is Charlotte?
I'll find you; I'll find you.
Is she hiding in the closet?
Is she beneath the blanket?
No she's not! No she's not! {Said in an exaggerated/exasperated, aggressively playful manner}
Where is Charlotte? Where is Charlotte?
I'll find you; I'll find you.
Is she hiding in the corner?
Has she turned into a flower?
No she's not! No she's not!
Where is Charlotte? Where is Charlotte?
I'll find you; I'll find you.
Is she in the cave of pillows?
Peek-a-booing in the willows?
No she's not! No she's not!
Where is Charlotte? Where is Charlotte?
I'll find you; I'll find you.
Is she tucked into a drawer?
Neath the rug on the floor?
No she's not! No she's not!
Where is Charlotte?…Here is Charlotte!
Here I AM and Shouting BOO!
Even though you’re bigger
I’ll roar like a tiger
And jump on you…And jump on you
Then bear hug too…Cause I love you! {Last line sung by both child and adult}

Charlotte, Charlotte, Near or Far: [or Insert child’s name]
The Wonder of Unconditional Love
[To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star]
Charlotte, Charlotte, near or far
In my heart, you are you are.
So full of life and on the go
Unless watching a video…
Charlotte, Charlotte, near or far
To catch your spirit in a jar!
When upset and shouting, “NO!”
Or crying cause you stubbed your toe…
Charlotte, Charlotte, near or far
I truly wonder who you are.
Even having a bad day
Telling me to, “Go away”…
Charlotte, Charlotte near or far
You’ll always be my shining star!

Charlotte Is the Bumper Jumper [or Insert child’s name]
Charlotte is the Bumper Jumper
When she jumps you cannot stop her.
Do not think this too improper
Charlotte’s just a bunny hopper.
A Bumper Jumper, a Bumper Jumper
Charlotte is the Bumper Jumper
A Bumper Jumper, a Bumper Jumper
I sure want to jump just like her!
Charlotte is the Funner Runner
Glows in winter, beams in summer.
When she runs she counts her numbers
On little fingers and her thumber.
A Funner Runner, a Funner Runner
Charlotte is the Funner Runner
A Funner Runner, a Funner Runner
I sure want to run just like her!
Charlotte is the Hide and Seeker
She’s not just a Boo and Peeker
When she hides you cannot find her
Till she jumps out…like a tiger!
A Hide and Seeker, a Hide and Seeker
Charlotte is the Hide and Seeker
A Hide and Seeker, a Hide and Seeker
I sure want to hide just like her!
[Perhaps a lyric for a somewhat older child]
Charlotte is the Tag You’re Itter
She’s as clever as a critter
Faster than the nanny-sitter
And she’ll never be a quitter.
A Tag You’re Itter, a Tag You’re Itter
Charlotte is the Tag You’re Itter
A Tag You’re Itter, a Tag You’re Itter
I would like to play tag with her.

[And speaking of never being a quitter…a satirical piece for Energizer Bunny kids and harried parents. A friend calls this a Calvin and Hobbes Prequel, that is, the voice is of a child who believes, naturally, s/he is the CENTER of the universe.]
Again…Again: Oh Just Count from One to Ten
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
One more turn on the slide
And another horsey ride…
Why would you want to hide?
Who would want to stop at one
We are having so much fun.
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
Oh pick me up so high
Like a bird up in the sky…
Was that a groan and a sigh?
Why should we stop at two
There is still so much to do.
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
Pull me round and round and round
As my feet fly off the ground…
Are you dizzy spinning around?
Why should we stop at three
Do not worry about me.
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
Now let me throw the ball, then
Run and get it down the hall…
Are you bouncing off the wall?
Why should we stop at four
When there is so much more.
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
Let’s now see who is stronger
Who can “doggie down” in kiddie yoga…
Can’t you last a little longer?
Why should we stop at five
Hey…try to look more alive?
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
One more time, stand on your head
Why are you turning red?...
Was it something that I said?
Why should we stop at six
I’m just now getting my kicks?
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
Can we go to the mall
For another “Frozen” doll?...
Your eyes…why do they roll?
Why should we stop at seven
Just give me one good reason.
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
Today I’m feeling very lucky
Let’s both have another cookie…
Hmm…you are looking kinda yucky.
Why should we stop at eight
Oh dinner just can wait.
Again…Again
Let’s do it once again.
Now let’s read Peter Rabbit
Two straight weeks…is that a habit?...
No worry…I remember where you hid it.
Why should we stop at nine
You really need a glass of wine?
Again…Again
We’re finally up to ten!
Just cause you are feeling droopy
Why should I go make a poopy?
Isn’t that a little pushy?
Don’t be such a pain in my tushie!...
Why should we stop at ten
Let us go from now till then
As we count from one to ten
And, of course, do it all…Again…Again!

Compelling and Engaging Communication Skills-Strategies for Sales and Marketing Pros
Sales
and marketing are the vital fuel of any enterprise, whether a corporation or
institution, government agency or non-profit.
The dependability and results-oriented sustainability of this resource
is determined by quality connections with customers, clients, and
colleagues. And in a TNT – Time-Numbers-Technology –
Driven-Distracted World, three pillars are critical for “high impact”
communication and connection:
1) Are you courageously developing and passionately applying your unique energy and experience, strengths and skills?
2) Are you truly “being heard or are you just making noise?”
3) Are you developing collaborative, mutually productive relationships with prospective customers and clients?
And the key to producing winning relations is a communication skillset and strategic toolset that:
a. encourages open, two-way engagement, especially inviting and responsibly handling customer-client feedback along with transforming conflict into “win-win” (and even some “lose-lose”) consensus-building,
b. builds respect and trust,
c. appreciates that every significant transaction involves “loss and change,” (or risk and opportunity) and d. evolves interdependent and innovative sales and marketing partnerships.
Sounds daunting, but have no fear…Mark Gorkin, the Stress Doc ™, is here to share his formula for “courageous-compelling-engaging” success. An acclaimed speaker, stress resilience and team building consultant, author and inspiring storyteller, as well as licensed psychotherapist, “Psychohumorist” ™ and Shrink Rapper ™, the Doc weaves his “Get FIT” – FUN-Interactive-Thought-provoking – multifaceted tapestry of “head and heart” tools and techniques. Through dynamic presentation and real world small group exercises, the Stress Doc will help expand the self- and other-awareness of your sales/marketing team. Each person will become a more compelling and engaging force of (human) nature. With applied concepts such as the Doc’s version of “The New KISS: Keep It Short and Smart” and his model-method of “Communicating Passion Power,” there’s no doubt participants will discover their own personal-professional path for more engaging presence and compelling communication. But most vital, your sales and marketing team will be building a relationship foundation that encourages long-term partnerships and closes sales.
