Just anywhere you open this book It's wiser than a king. Let's open it and take a look. See! It knows everything: Marbles, markets, measles, mermaid, Milkman, miles, and moon. I'd like to be that wise. I'm afraid I shan't be, though. Not soon!

He Didn't Say Thank You

I fed the squirrel in the park The peanuts Uncle bought me, I held them in my fingertips The way my auntie taught me. The gray squirrel sat and nibbled the nuts As the squirrels in the park all do. I sometimes wish that the little gray squirrel Would feed me peanuts,too. For when he'd eaten all the nuts, Away the little squirrel flew. Do you think that was a very nice thing For a little squirrel to do?

Subway Train

My father owns a subway train And a uniform of blue; He wears a coat with shiny buttons, As policemen do. And he was the one who told me this, So I know it's true. He said they took a great big mole That lived far underground, And when they gave him iron wheels He ran right fast, they found. On his head they put a lightning bug To show the way around. My father has told me again and again That's how he made his subway train.

The Clock and the Tock

I and the clock go tick, ticktock. I and the clock ticktock and it's fun. The faster I run the harder I tock. And the harder it tocks the faster it runs.

The Road

I like to watch the winding road, With all its crooks and swerves, What a baseball pitcher I should be If I had as many curves!

Cat Language

The kitten said, "I don't like water, And yet my mistress's Little daughter Shoves me in the tub And spoils my fur. (I know she'd cry If I did it to her!) I can bathe myself. So can any cat. There's no excuse For things like that! I ought to complain. Yes, but how? When they don't know the meaning Of meow?"

The Favorite Little Bird

A little bird father And a little bird mother Had five little birds in a nest. They knew it was wrong, but There was a favorite Child they both liked best. All the munchiest worms, All the scrunchiest worms, (Though they knew it was unfair) still, All the slidiest worms, And the glidiest worms, Went into that one child's bill. Then the favorite bird, As I have heard, Got colic, and nearly died. And the mother bird

The Three Little Stars

Twink and Wrink and Shrink Were three little stars in the sky. Twink had a twinkle And Wrink had a wrinkle And Shrink was bashful and shy. Twink was merry and full of fun, Wrink was very wise, Shrink stayed in his place With a smile on his face And looked at the earth from the skies. Twink, one day, in a merry mood, Played hookey from the star teacher's class. With a shout of mirth He slipped to earth And twinkled like dew on the grass. Wrink grew more thoughtful hour by hour,
