inside my ear And pranced and partied all night long And sang their
same old Whatif song: Whatif I'm dumb in school? Whatif they've
closed the swimming pool? Whatif I get beat up? Whatif there's
poison in my cup? Whatif I start to cry? Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test? Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me? Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow taller? Whatif my head starts getting smaller?

and there was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen, and they
run around free while the world was bein' born, and the loveliest
of all was the Unicorn. There were green alligators and long-neck
geese. There were humpy bumpy camels and chimpanzees. There were
cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born The loveliest
of all was the Unicorn. This was written by a teacher when she was
10 years old.

saw, It bit an angle worm in half, And ate the fellow raw!!! Poems
can be read quickly or slowly.
Humpty Dumpty Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a
great fall. All the King's horses, And all the King's men Couldn't
put Humpty together again! Slowly Slowly the tide creeps up the
sand, Slowly the shadows cross the land, Slowly the cart horse
pulls his mile, Slowly the man mounts his stile. Homework Machine
