Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

     Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses.

Conjunction Junction, how's that function?

     I got three favorite cars that get most of my job done.

Conjunction Junction, what's their function?

     I got AND, BUT, and OR; they'll get you pretty far.
     "AND!" That's an additive like "this -and- that".
     "BUT!" That's sort of the opposite "not this -but- that".
     And then there's "OR", O.R., when you have a choice like "this -or- that".
     "AND", "BUT", and "OR" get you pretty far!!

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

     Hookin' up two box cars and makin' em run right.
     Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice.

Hey, that's nice!

     Dirty -but- happy, digin' -and- scratchin',
     loosin' your shoe -and- a button -or- two.
     He's poor -but- honest, sad -but- true, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-HOO!

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

     Hookin up two cars to one when you say something like this choice.
     Either now -or- later; or no choice.
     Neither now -nor- ever.

Hey, that's clever!

     Eat this or that, grow thin or fat.
     <Never mind, I wouldn't do that, I'm fat enough NOW!>

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

     Hookin' up phrases and clauses that balance like...
     Out of the frying pan -and- into the fire.
     He cut loose the sandbag, -but- the balloon wouldn't go any higher.
     Let's go up to the mountains -or- down to the seas.
     You should always say "thank you" -or- at least say "pleeeeaaase"!

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

     Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses and complex sentences like...
     In the mornings when I'm usually wide awake,
     I love to take a walk through the gardens -and- down by the lake 
     where I often see a duck -and- a drake,
     -and- I wonder as I walk by, just what they'd say if they could speak
     ...although, I know, that's an absurd thought.
