Poem of the Week

Wendy in Winter

No wonder Wendy’s coat blew off.
She didn’t have it zipped
And since she didn’t watch for slush,
No wonder Wendy slipped.
No wonder Wendy froze her feet
Although her boots were lined,
Because when Wendy left for school,
She left her boots behind.
And since she didn’t dodge the ice
that sagged the apple bough,
No wonder Wendy’s hatless head
Has seven stitches now.

Poem of the Week

Forgetful Paul Revere

Was it two if by land
And one if by sea?
Or one if by land
And none if by sea?
Or none if by land . . .
Or was it three?
My memory’s not
What it used to be,
And it’s getting so foggy
I hardly can see,
And this hard, cold saddle
Is killing me---
Oh,  what a ride
This is gonna be.

Shel Silverstein
