Kitty Wants To Fly












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

What if the colors all changed their names?
Would all the colors still look the same?

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.

Flatware
















Fork and spoon,
Spoon and Knife,
I dreamed my flatware
Came to life!

I Am Confused















You don't
Have to know
What everything means.
Even when you're old
And you like green beans.

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 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.

Big Or Small?



Big
Or small?

It all
Depends
On the size
Of your friends.

I Wish For A Fish



I threw a penny
Into the sea
And wished a wish,
A secret for me.

The Monsters I Make














The monsters I make can be scary,
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!

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?

The Elephant







Front or back,
Right or left,
Up or down,
Happy or sad,
Smart or stupid,
Young or old,
Nobody sees the same elephant.

That’s cause
He tiptoes
Everywhere.

Sometimes we don't know
what we really look like
until we look in the mirror.

Kitty Up A Tree





Kitty up a tree,
Glad it isn’t me,
‘Cause if it were
I’d have no fur,
And speak English.

All day long."

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.
