FALLING UP

"I tripped on my shoelace

And I fell up...

I got sick to my stomach

And I threw down."

This is part of a poem from a book called Falling Up by Shel Silverstein. This book is a collection of silly and hilarious poems. Mrs. Braymer reads them to us during a time she calls "Poetry after Lunch." We are always entertained by these poems. We get so excited you can hear us begging, "Please, read us one more!" whenever Mrs. Braymer finishes one. The pictures in the book are also funny.

Because we love them so much, we're going to give you another.

SNOWBALL

by Shel Silverstein

I made myself a snowball

As perfect as could be.

I thought I'd keep it as a pet

And let it sleep with me.

I made it some pajamas

And a pillow for its head.

Then last night it ran away, 

But first - it wet the bed.
