- BY GROUP 8

Now the Star-Belly SneetchesHad bellies with stars.The Plain-Belly SneetchesHad none upon thars.Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so smallYou might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.But because they had stars, all the Star-Belly SneetchesWould brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.”With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort,“We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!”And whenever they met some, when they were out walking,They’d hike right on past them without even talking.
