I saw the national weather report this morning -- frozen temperatures and ice everywhere, almost. So here are some amusing poems my daughter Emily discovered in a book we've had taking up shelf space since before she was born:
The Optimist (by Anonymous)
The optimist fell ten stories,
And at each window bar
He shouted to the folks inside,
"Doing all right so far!"
The Tiger (by John Gardner)
The tiger is a perfect saint
As long as you respect him;
But if he happens to say ain't
You'd better not correct him.
Humpty Dumpty (by Anonymous)
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Had scrambled eggs for breakfast again.
Mary Had a Little Lamb (by Anonymous)
Mary had a little lamb,
You've heard this tale before,
But did you know she passed her plate
And had a little more?
