Punny Foems!

Chloe checked out the funniest book from her school library and has been following me around reading it out loud to me all weekend!

It's a collection of Poetry by Shel Silverstein (died in 1999) that he had been working on but never completed when he was alive. It was compiled and published in 2005. After reading a lot of them you might feel like you have Dain Bramage! Here are some of our favorites.

KUGS AND HISSES

Runny said, "I'm lonesone,
I feel so glad and soomy. I need some kugs and hisses-
Now, who's gonna give 'em to me?"

"I will," said Polly Dorkupine
" 'Cause you're cute as a rug in a bug."
Said Runny, "Well, I'll kake the tiss,
But never hind the mug."

RUNNY HEEDS FIMSELF

When Ramma Mabbit started teachin'
Runny how to eat,
He picked his pood up with his ears, He wasn't nery veat.
The sood all flipped, the drilk all mipped.
"That's pot nolite," said Maw.
"Never use your ears, my dear-
That's why Pod gave us gaws."

Great book, great find Chloe! My kids would love it... and drive me crazy with it. We would start having dinner conversations "Shel style".
