Poem of the Week

Wynken, Blynken and Nod (Selections)

The old moon laughed and sang a song,

As they rocked in the wooden shoe;

And the wind that sped them all night long

Ruffled the waves of dew;

The little stars were the herring-fish

That lived in the beautiful sea.

“Now cast your nets wherever you wish,--

Never afraid are we!”

So cried the stars to the fisherman three,

Wynken

Blynken

And Nod.

Poem of the Week

Wynken, Blynken and Nod (Selections)

Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night

Sailed off in a wooden shoe. --

Sailed on a river of crystal light

Into a sea of dew.

“Where are you going, and what do you wish?”

The old moon asked the three.

“We have come to fish for the herring-fish

That live in this beautiful sea;

Nets of silver and gold have we,”

Said Wynken

Blynken

And Nod.

Poem of the Week

The Muddy Puddle

I am sitting

In the middle

Of a rather Muddy,

Puddle,

With my bottom

Full of bubbles

And my boots

Full of mud,

While my jacket

and my sweater

Go on slowly

Getting wetter

As I very

Slowly settle

To the bottom

Of the mud.

And I find that

What a person

With a puddle

Round his middle

Thinks mostly

In the muddle

Is the Muddi-

Ness of Mud
