Feeding Time
By: Shel Silverstein

Oh alligator, palligator, get up out of bed.
It's breakfast time and I can't find
Our keeper Mister Fred.
He smokes a pipe and wears a little
Derby on his head,
And he was' sposed to meet me here
To help to get you fed.

Monday's Poems

Obedient
By: Shel Silverstein

Teacher said, "You don't obey.
You fidget and twidget
And won't sit down.
So go stand in the corner now
'Til I say you can turn around."
So there I stood 'til it got dark
Without a whimper or a tear,
'Til everybody else went home.
I guess that she forgot me here.
And that was Friday, so I stayed
All through the weekend--bein' good,
And Monday was the first day of
Summer vacation, so I stood
Through hot July and sticky August,
Tryin' to obey her rule.
Stood right there until September,
When--yikes--they closed down the school!
Boarded up the doors and windows,
Moved to a new one way' cross town.
So here I've stood for forty years
In dark and dust and creaky sounds,
Waiting for her to say, "Turn around."

This might not be just what she meant,
But me--I'm so obedient.


What do you think about this? =)

Mirror, Mirror
By: Shel Silverstein

Queen: Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
            Who is the fairest of them all?

Mirror: Snow White, Snow White, Snow White--
            I've told you a million times tonight.

Queen: Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
            What would happen if I let you fall?
            You'd shatter to bits with a clang and a crash,
            Your glass would be splintered--swept out with the trash,
            Your frame would be bent, lying here on the floor--

Mirror: Hey...go ahead, ask me just once more.

Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall,
           Who is the fairest of them all?

Mirror: You--you--It's true,
            The fairest of all is you--you--you.
            (Whew!)

It's all fun & Games Blogfest & Monday's Poems

3 of my favorite games.

  Sorry for the mishap I'm not sure what happened.

If I'm playing a game solo my favorite game is Mahjong! Puzzle games are just to hard to resist.

Multiple player game would be pool, bowling. It's hard to really choose only 3 games.

Any word games or a charade game. I'm a bit competitive but a good sport if I lose.

thanks for playing!!!!

Spoiled Brat

By: Shel Silverstein

The spoiled brat cut a hole in her hat,

The spoiled brat put a coat on the cat,

The spoiled brat got into a spat

'Bout whether a rodent's a mouse or a rat.

The spoiled brat broke a bike with her bat,

The spoiled brat told the policeman to scat,

The spoiled brat said her sister was fat,

And sat on her birthday cake 'til it was flat.

The spoiled brat, she cussed and she spat,

The spoiled brat pulled the wings off a gnat,

The spoiled brat fell into a vat,

Got cooked up for dinner and that was that.

But in spite of the pepper,

The salt and the sage,

The onions and garlic and oil,

Nobody would touch

A bite of that brat

Because she was so spoiled.
