Where the Sidewalk Ends

BAND-AIDS
By: Shel Silverstein

I have a Band-Aid on my finger, One on my knee, and one on my nose, One on my heel, and two on my shoulder, Three on my elbow, and nine on my toes. Two on my wrist, and one on my ankle, One on my chin, and one on my thigh, Four on my belly, and five on my bottom, One on my forehead and one on my eye. One on my neck, and in case I might need c em I have a box full of thirty-five more. But oh! I do think itd s sort of pity I dond t have a cut or a sore! MAGICAL ERASER
By: Shel Silverstein

The Road Not Taken

Fire and Ice
By: Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what Id ve tasted of desire I hold with those that favor fire But if I had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. A Patch of Old Snow
By: Robert Frost

Thered s a patch of old snow in a corner That I should have guessed Was a blow-away paper the rain Had brought to rest. It is speckled with grime as if Small print overspread it The news of a day Id ve forgottenIf I ever read it

A Light in the Attic

By: Shel Silverstein MESSY ROOM
By: Shel Silverstein

Whosever room this is should be ashamed! His underwear is hanging on the lamp. His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair, And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp. His workbook is wedged in the window, His sweater's been thrown on the floor. His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV, And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door. His books are all jammed in the closet, His vest has been left in the hall. A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed, And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall. Whosever room this is should be ashamed! Donald, Robert, or Willie or-Huh? You say it's mine? Oh dear, I knew it looked familiar!

My Brother Wond t Eat his Veggies By: Robert Pattle My brother will not eat his veggies. He eats mostly unhealthy food. I think that it might be his diet that makes him so terribly rude. For breakfast he likes to eat pastries. He then wipes his hands on his shirt. He burps and he won't say, "Excuse me." Instead he demands his dessert. Me, I prefer veggie omelets. with peppers, tomatoes, and cheese. I eat with my very best manners, and always say thank you and please. I wish that my brother ate veggies I think that is all it would take to make him a well mannered brother, but he just eats candy and cake.

Last night I was eating my carrots. He grabbed one and gave it a try. I watched his reaction and noticed a strange look come into his eye. Were vegetables giving him manners, or would he remain rude and curt? My question was answered the second he burped and asked, "Where's my dessert?" I haven't lost faith in my veggies. They do make you healthy and bright. Their powers are truly amazing, but they can't make your brother polite.

An Ordinary Day By: Kenn Nesbitt There's a dolphin on my doorstep. It's an ordinary day. He's delivering the paper in his ordinary way. There's a bison in my bathtub singing ordinary songs, and some hippos having ordinary hippo sing-alongs. In the pantry there's a penguin painting ordinary scenes ofopposums in their ordinary orange submarines. There's an ordinary rhino racing up and down the stairs, chasing ordinary chimpanzees and ordinary bears. In the living room are llamas dancing ordinary jigs, like a dozen rather ordinary llamawhirigigs. It's an ordinary day for me; I promise you it's true. And I hope your day is simply extra ordinary too.
