Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.
—from "Eating Poetry" by Mark Strand
The Crocodile
by Lewis Carroll How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws! |
Be Glad Your Nose Is on Your Face
by Jack Prelutsky Be glad your nose is on your face, not pasted on some other place, for if it were where it is not, you might dislike your nose a lot. Imagine if your precious nose were sandwiched in between your toes, that clearly would not be a treat, for you’d be forced to smell your feet. |
Clouds
by Christina Rossetti White sheep, white sheep, On a blue hill, When the wind stops, You all stand still. When the wind blows, You walk away slow. White sheep, white sheep, Where do you go? The Tyger
by William Blake Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? |
Eletelephony
by Laura Elizabeth Richards Once there was an elephant, Who tried to use the telephant-- No! No! I mean an elephone Who tried to use the telephone-- (Dear me! I am not certain quite That even now I’ve got it right.) The Purple Cow
by Gelett Burgess I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one, But I can tell you, anyhow, I’d rather see than be one! |
