Furry Bear

If I were a bear
 And a big bear too,
I shouldn't much care
 If it froze or snew;
I shouldn't much mind
 If it snowed or friz-
I'd be all fur-lined
 With a coat like his!

For I'd have fur boots
 And a brown fur wrap,
And brown knickers
 And a big fur cap.
I'd have a fur muffle-ruff.
 To cover my jaws,
And brown fur mittens
 On my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down
 Up to my head,
I'd sleep all the winter
 In a big fur bed.

Cats

Cats sleep, anywhere,
Any table, any chair
Top of piano, window-ledge,
In the middle, on the edge,
Open drawer, empty shoe,
Anybody's lap will do,
Fitted in a cardboard box,
In the cupboard, with your frocks-
Anywhere! They don't care!
Cats sleep anywhere.

In Flanders Fields - World war 1 May 1915

  

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae

I'm nobody!

 

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there's a pair of us shh don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring dog!

Emily Dickinson

The Reason I Like Chocolate

The reason I like chocolate
is I can lick my fingers
and nobody tells me I'm not polite

I especially like scary movies
'cause I can snuggle with Mommy
or my big sister and they don't laugh

I like to cry sometimes 'cause
everybody says "what's the matter
don't cry"

and I like books
for all those reasons
but mostly 'cause they just make me
happy

and I really like
to be happy

The People Upstairs

The people upstairs all practise ballet
Their living room is a bowling alley
Their bedroom is full of conducted tours.
Their radio is louder than yours,
They celebrate week-ends all the week.
When they take a shower, your ceilings leak.
They try to get their parties to mix
By supplying their guests with Pogo sticks,
And when their fun at last abates,
They go to the bathroom on roller skates.
I might love the people upstairs more
If instead of above us, they just lived under us. 


Ogden Nash

Hope” is the Thing with Feathers

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

Emily Dickinson

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand.
Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

First Fig

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light. 

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Me

As long as I live
I shall always be
My Self - and no other,
Just me. 

Like a tree. 
Like a willow or elder,
An aspen a thorn,
Or a cypress forlorn. 

Like a flower,
For its hour
A primrose, a pink,
Or a violet - 
Sunned by the sun, And with dewdrops wet. 

Always just me.

The Early Morning

The moon on the one hand, the dawn on the other.
The moon is my sister, the dawn is my brother.
The moon on my left and the dawn on my right.
My brother, good morning: my sister, good night. 

Hilaire Belloc

This is Just to Say

This is just to say, I have eaten the plums
 that were in the icebox and which you were
 probably saving for breakfast. Forgive me they 
were delicious, so sweet and so cold.
