The HAZCOM Song
I strolled into receiving one dry cold sunny day
Packages and boxes in total disarray
They had no HMIS labels or identifying marks
I got out of there with the BOOM BOOM BOOM to avoid the sparks.
I got out of there with the BOOM BOOM BOOM to avoid the sparks.
When I entered the labor force I had no Hazcom smarts
All around the flammables I would play lawn darts
Didn’t know the government had a master plan
To label nasty bottles and leave Afghanistan
To label nasty bottles and leave Afghanistan
Hazardous Materials Identification System
It sure is a mouthful but you better lesson
Substances must be labeled at your place of work
A legal responsibility that you cannot shirk
A legal responsibility that you cannot shirk.
Hazcom became a law in the 1980’s
Reagan was the bossman and I was making babies
The main focus is the worker’s right to know
So everything is labeled from head right down to toe
Yes, everything is labeled from head right down to toe.
Hazcom written programs list precautionary measures
First aid procedures and other sordid treasures
Risk phrases are shown like may explode if held
Highly irritating like Newman on Seinfeld
Highly irritating like Newman on Seinfeld
The Fire Guys use diamonds
The painters all use bars
E.T. used a Speak and Spell when labeling on Mars
No matter the state you’re in – Solid, Liquid, Gas
Learn the hazard symbols from Alaska down to Mass
Learn the hazard symbols from Alaska down to Mass
OSHA has created a rich vocabulary
There’s even an icon if you can’t eat dairy
Lethal dose 50 and pH play a role
Hey! Affix them to my wife’s tuna casserole!
Hey! Affix them to my wife’s tuna casserole!
Hazards can enter your body in many ways
Like absorption – soaking in mayonnaise
What? You think that problem is rather small?
Imagine the increase in your cholesterol.
Imagine the increase in your cholesterol.
We keep MSDS in binders and online
You know what to do if you’re drenched in turpentine
Consult MSDS, take the correct action.
Workplace safety is concrete, not an abstraction.
Workplace safety is concrete, not an abstraction.
Women of Wooster, Men of Montana State
Learn the rules know so we can celebrate
At the xmas party, show off what you know
And you might get a great big kiss under HMISletoe
Yes you will get a great big kiss under HMISletoe
So what was the boom boom boom
It is fair to ask.
Handling it should you wear goggles and a mask?
Read the Hazcom programs, they’ll tell you every time
It was my Granny’s chicken soup and that’s my final rhyme.
It was my Granny’s chicken soup and that’s my final rhyme.

Won't Start Texting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVyeBSmA6BA
Won’t Start Texting
400 chickens and a pig
Packed inside my half ton rig
Drive these goods from east to west
Concentrate and do my best
CHORUS:
Won’t start texting
Resisting that temptation
Eyes on the road
To my destination
Distracted driving grinds my gears
Increases stress increases fears
Send your texts before you drive
Get to point b safe and alive
Won’t start texting
Resisting that temptation
Eyes on the road
To my destination
The guy beside me picked his nose
There's a woman without clothes
That hitchhiker's got an axe
Should have stayed home and sent a fax
Won’t start texting
Resisting that temptation
Eyes on the road
To my destination
So many things to see and do
While I shlep this mobile zoo
Flashing billboard, neon lights,
Road construction, barroom fights
Won’t start texting
Resisting that temptation
Eyes on the road
To my destination
Before I hop into the truck
I trim my beard, eyebrows I pluck
Clip my nails, drink feine extractions
Minimize all my distractions
Won’t start texting
Resisting that temptation
Eyes on the road
To my destination
My cellphone has caller id
So I hear who’s wanting me
If it’s Jay Lo I let it ring
Cause careful driving is my thing
Won’t start texting
Resisting that temptation
Eyes on the road
To my destination
Made it to point B from A
Dumped my load in San Jose
Left the truck and stretched my legs
Then enjoyed bacon and eggs
Won’t start texting
Resisting that temptation
Eyes on the road
to my destination

The WHMIS Warble
I strolled into receiving one dry cold sunny day
Packages and boxes in total disarray
They had no WHMIS labels
Or identifying marks
I got out of there with that boom boom boom to avoid the sparks
I got out of there with that boom boom boom to avoid the sparks
When I entered the labor force I had no WHMIS smarts
All around the flammables
I would play lawn darts
Didn’t know the government had a master plan
To label nasty bottles and leave Afghanistan
To label nasty bottles and leave Afghanistan
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
It sure is a mouthful
But you better listen
Substances must be labeled at your place of work
It’s a legal responsibility that you cannot shirk
It’s a legal responsibility that you cannot shirk
WHMIS became a law in the 1980’s
Mulroney was the PM and I was making babies
The main focus is
The worker’s right to know
So everything is labeled, from head right down to toe
Yes everything is labeled, from head right down to toe
Supplier labels list precautionary measures
First aid procedures and other sordid treasures
Risk phrases are shown like may explode if held
Highly irritating, like Newman on Seinfeld
Highly irritating, like Newman on Seinfeld
Workplace labels don’t need as much detail
But still give instructions if the safeguards fail
Product’s i.d. is printed with good inks
And notice should be given if the compound stinks
And notice should be given if the compound stinks
Material Safety Data Sheets contain 9 sections
Listing ingredients and safety directions
They must be updated every third year
I guess battery acid could turn into root beer
I guess battery acid could turn into root beer
We keep MSDS in binders and online
You know what to do if you’re drenched in turpentine
Consult MSDS, take the correct action
Workplace safety is concrete, not an abstraction
Workplace safety is concrete, not an abstraction
WHMIS icons are arranged alphabetically you know
Class A - compressed gas from a breakfast burrito
Class E – corrosive from high molarity
F - dangerously reactive like Brad Pitt and Jolie
F - dangerously reactive like Brad Pitt and Jolie
Class B is combustible like gasoline.
C ‘s an oxidizer like oxygen or bromine
Store B and C together, you better leave these parts
Cuz you might get a boom boom boom that is off the charts
Yes, you might get a boom boom boom that is off the charts
Class D refers to poisons, toxic things
D3 is biohazardous - deep-fried onion rings
D1’s immediate serious effects – that sucks
And D2 is the sequel to the Mighty Ducks
And D2 is the sequel to the Mighty Ducks
Now WHMIS has a rich vocabulary
There’s even a symbol if you can’t eat dairy
Terms like Lethal Dose 50 and pH play a role
Hey! Affix them to my wife’s tuna casserole
Hey! Affix them to my wife’s tuna casserole
Hazards can enter your body in many ways
Like absorption- soaking in mayonnaise
What? You think that problem is rather small.
Imagine the increase in your cholesterol.
Imagine the increase in your cholesterol.
Women of WHMIS. Men of MSDS
Learn the rules now, avoid a legal mess
At the xmas party, show off what you know
And you might get a great big kiss under WHMISletoe
And you might get a great big kiss under WHMISletoe
FRENCH VERSE goes here
So, what was the boom boom boom
It is fair to ask
Handling it- should you wear goggles and a mask?
Read the WHMIS labels , they’ll tell you every time
It was my Baba’s chicken soup and that’s my final rhyme
It was my Baba’s chicken soup and that’s my final rhyme

The Jones Jive

The Jones Jive
Verse 1:
My house is full of Radon
My yard's a toxic sludge
I lost three teeth while eating
A piece of chocolate fudge
Got Eschericia Coli
From some imported meat
Don’t quite know what I got from
A public toilet seat
Verse 2:
My wife and I got tickets
Dodgers against the Reds
Who would have thunk a baseball
Would bounce off both our heads
Now I have got a headache
The wife’s had one for years
We are not happy campers
We're crying in our beers
CHORUS
Crash and burn - To Jones Group I will turn
Any injury - Jones will look after me
Slip or fall, Jones Law Group does it all
Serving the U.S. with integrity
Verse 3:
Was in the health food section
Of the new supermart
Picked up some bran and barley
Because I’m eating smart
Looking for the quinoa
Slipped on some broken eggs
Increased my fibre intake
But damaged both my legs
Verse 4:
California volleyball
Is my favourite sport
But I never knew a dig
Would land me in state court
A dirty washed-up needle
Jabbed through my ulnar veins
I need some compensation
For these new aches and pains
CHORUS
Crash and burn - To Jones Group I will turn
Any injury - Jones will look after me
Slip or fall, Jones Law Group does it all
Serving the U.S. with integrity
Verse 5:
I was taking photos
Of a humungous bear
He suddenly attacked me
And grabbed me by my hair
Ow! - It was just a hobby
But now I am so bald
Park Rangers did not help me
While I was getting mauled
Verse 6:
I hopped into a go-kart
At the amusement park
The brakes malfunctioned - and
The friction caused a spark
I smashed into the railing
The cart burst into flame
I need to file a lawsuit
I need to make a claim
CHORUS
Crash and burn - To Jones Group I will turn
Any injury - Jones will look after me
Slip or fall, Jones Law Group does it all
Serving the U.S. with integrity
Verse 7
A big box store just installed
My Giant Screen TV
Relaxing on the sofa
Reruns of The OC
The mounting brackets failed
It all crashed on my knee
Hey! Where is Sandy Cohen
And where's my warranty
Verse 8:
Was sporting my cool baggies
For a fun surfing trip
But on the wavy ocean
It’s tough to keep my grip
Yikes! The surfboard just dissolved
Must be a design flaw
A shark has just appeared and
He’s got an open jaw
CHORUS
Crash and burn - To Jones Group I will turn
Any injury - Jones will look after me
Slip or fall, Jones Law Group does it all
Serving the U.S. with integrity
Verse 9:
While riding my dune buggy
Through the hot desert sand
The seatbelt overtightened
Squeezed out my prostate gland
Now all my plumbing's broken
It's very hard to pee
I need restitution for
My personal injury
Verse 10:
I'm not a lion tamer
Or Human cannonball
Don't bungee jump off bridges
Or climb the BerlinWall
I don’t take risks that might
Give me a heart attack
But for the unexpected
Jones, I'm glad you've got my back.
CHORUS
Crash and burn - To Jones Group I will turn
Any injury - Jones will look after me
Slip or fall, Jones Law Group does it all
Serving the U.S. with integrity
Serving the U.S. with integrity

Here are the lyrics to my song about child car seat installation and use.
A youtube music video is at
http://youtu.be/k01wpRYi-eo
With Restraints
Cuddly new infant,
A first time parent
Many decisions, Anxiety
Bottle or Breastfed,
Crib or family bed
One thing’
s for certain, car seat safety
Chorus:
Get the Guide,
TheScottish Good Egg Safety Guide
Keeps my kid safe on the ride
With restraints, With restraints, With restraints, Oh yeah
Porridge or haggis,
Organic or process
Daycare or recess, I don’t have a clue
Ballet or yoga, onesie or toga
Thank goodness the egg guide tells me what to do
Chorus:
Nappies or diapers,
Drummersor pipers
Boosters or buckets,
what does the kid weigh
Front seat or back seat,
The egg guide can’t be beat

Grow a Muzzy
02:02

The nusic video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmEo6xmaWDo
Selleck had a lip tickler / When acting as Magnum P.I.
Einstein sported some bristles / While looking at starts in the sky
Ned Flanders had upper lip plumage / +that wrestler oh what's his name?
Hulk Hogan! Right!
Lanny McDonald had a big one / When he played as a Calgary Flame
Chorus: Grow a muzzy in Movember / Give Prostate Canada cash
Changing the face of men's health / It starts with a little moustache
Snidely Whiplash had a handlebar / And a dastardly black hat
Some dictators also had staches / But let's not sing about that
The prostate's the size of a walnut / Embedded in a tangled mess
It's sort of hard to locate / Unless you've got a good GPS
Chorus:
The prostate secretes a white fluid / Mixes with sperm like a gravy
Comprising 30% of semen / The rest comes from Canadian Navy
Chorus:
The prostate guides the urine / In the right direction
It has other important functions / So go for early detection
Yes, once you are over forty / And I'm not trying to be crass
You better have a good doctor / Put a finger right up your bum
Final Chorus:

A Modern Science Teacher
02:36
|
|||
I am the very model of a modern science teacher
I guide my students from the side and never play the preacher
I foster their discoveries and teach them to inquire
And ask high order questions that are certain to inspire.
I build my class community with many an icebreaker
I honor student cultures be they Buddhist Sikh or Quaker
I always do assessments be they formative or summative
I follow all directives even when I think they’re dumb-ative.
I teach for understanding and I plan my lessons backwardly
I do cool demonstrations though at times I do them awkwardly
In short in all the ways that I could ever think to feature
I am the very model of the modern science teacher.
In short in all the ways that he could ever think to feature
He is the very model of the modern science teacher.
I always differentiate yet have high expectations
I teach at a UNESCO school as in United Nations
I am a strong proponent of much interdisciplinarity
I tell some jokes so I maintain a feeling of hilarity.
I know the ways to motivate both extra and intrinsic
I know a dozen rhymes for the words intra and extrinsic
I always team with colleagues and am happy to collaborate
And if you really care I would be happy to elaborate.
There’s lesson plans and unit plans and on-line simulations
Constructivist approaches with their deep investigations
These are my teaching methods, some are basic some are classy,
And there may be many others but they haven’t come to Massey.
These are his teaching methods some are basic some are classy
And there may be many others but they haven’t come to Massey!
