Kitty wants to catch a bird.
I bet you don't know why!
Kitty wants the little bird
To teach him how to fly.

Clocks
I don’t like early mornings
When I’m still asleep.
I don’t like early bedtimes,
Alone and counting sheep.
Why should I pay attention
To all those clocks I see?
I listen to them ticking.
They listen not to me.

The Roving Birthday Beast
On the night before your birthday, a little after midnight when you are asleep:
The Roving Birthday Beast will secretly come to your house and bring you good luck for the next year. How do you know if the Roving Birthday Beast has been to your house? He will leave some banana peels in your trash can!
So when you wake up on your birthday morning, look in the trash, and if you find some banana peels then you know he's been there and you'll have really good luck for the next year!

The Mighty Sow Bug
God bless his mighty roar.
He wakes me from my winter sleep,
Pounding on my door.
He doesn’t like the cold,
He hates it when it snows.
But when warm summer comes at last
He packs his bags and goes.

And wished a wish,
A secret for me.

Scary and hairy all day.
I give them great big bags of candy
So they’ll scare all my bad dreams away.

Kite Flyer
I cannot see the man in the moon
Though I've tried with all my might
So I made my own man in the moon
And put him on my kite!
Though I've tried with all my might
So I made my own man in the moon
And put him on my kite!

Modern Art Fish
This is a modern art fish,
A line and a shape or two.
If it looked more like a fish
Would it be modern to you?

Nobody sees the same elephant.

Waiting For The Sun
Sometimes it seems like a little rain cloud is following me around no matter where I go.
But I know the rain will stop and the sun will shine.
All I have to do is wait!

Life On The Moon
My grandfather, Herman Allison,
born in 1885, in Texas, once told me that when he was a schoolboy, a topic for debate was:
"Is the moon inhabited?"
He lived long enough to see Neil Armstrong stand on the moon.

My Cat
O the quiet life of my cat
Who dreams of simple things,
Like chasing birds,
Eating words
And wearing diamond rings.

Before I Barely Knew Anything
Before I barely knew anything
I awakened each summer morning
To the cawing of crows
And thought,
How very tall these trees
In which they gather to ruffle their feathers
In the morning breeze,
How tall these trees
And how much these crows must see.
I climbed an orange tree,
So frightened by the height,
So amazed at the sight of neighboring houses
And city streets
And thought about what the crows must see
From the tops of the sycamore trees
And from higher still
As they rise into the sky,
Knowing I would never know
What they know,
Before I barely knew anything.

All The King’s Horses
Where are those childrenWho wanted to play?
Where are their toys,
Have they put them away?
Where is my son,
Has he grown up and gone?
My little daughter,
A child of her own?
All the king’s horses
And all the king’s men
Cannot put childhood
Together again.

Sheeps
The hills are alive
With the sound of sheep,
They sleep all day long
But at night they creep,
Into the houses
Of young girls and boys
And put on their clothes
And play with their toys.

What Is Art?
Cheese from a rat is like soap for a hog,
You can’t write your mother by using a log.
A nose is indifferent to all that is art,
The opera’s a good place to rip loose a fart.

Terrible Teapot Song
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout,
Kick me in the rear
And step on my snout.
I'm a little teapot
Fat and wide,
Take me to the slaughterhouse
And cut off my hide!
