Dinnertime chorus
"The teapot sang as the water boiled
The ice cubes cackled in their glass
the teacups chattered to one another.
While the chairs were passing gas
The gravy gurgled merrily
As the oil danced in a pan.
Oh my dinnertime chorus
What a lovely, lovely clan! Poetry by Sharon Hendricks

Shoe talk
"There’s no one to talk with-
I’ll talk with my shoe.
He does have a tongue
And an inner soul, too.
He’s awfully well polished,
So straightlaced and neat
(But he talks about nothing
But feet--feet--feet)."
by Shel Silverstein

is whispering some tale of love
Till it rustles with laughter and
tosses its mantle of green,"

The Little Corn Flakes
All the little cornflakes were so excited
They were getting to come out and play.
They landed in the milky pool,
And began frolicking away.

If I was a pencil
"If I was a pencil
I would live in a school
Munching on words and paper
After dancing all day on a notebook
Sleeping soundly on weekends
And waiting patiently for Monday
When my student comes back and we
write the best of poems.

Those naughty keys
The keys hung plainly on the hook,
Right where their owner left them.
But they were naughty keys so they
Jumped from the hook and left then.
They loved to find a hiding place
On the floor or between cushions.
But today they sought to find
a spot he'd never look in!
They slipped inside a wastebasket
That sat just under their hook.
Those naughty keys just hid and grinned,
While their owner looked and looked.

The Perfume Bottles
Pretty little bottles of perfume
Stood at attention on the dresser.
"Which one of us will she choose today?"
And they each took turns being the guesser.
"She'll choose me," the first one said,
"Because I smell like roses."
"Not likely today," the second bottle said.
"You'll stink up everyone's noses."
"She'll choose me," the third bottle said.
"She loves how I smell like sandalwood."
The second bottle replied again,
"She won't choose you. I know I never would."
The woman came in, looked at her perfumes,
Sniffed bottle two and choosed her.
Bottle two cried, "Yes! She chose me, the best;
I guess you other two are the losers!"

“I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”
team
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
Of things unknown but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hill for
The caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
And the trade winds soft through
The sighing trees
And the fat worms waiting on a dawn - bright
Lawn and he names the sky his own.

"The Tired Sun"
team

The tired sun


wants to rest
in the cool, cool Pacific.
But the sun,
an artist at heart,
creates one more masterpiece.
It paints the white clouds orange
and lays out a path of fire
on the cool, cool Pacific.
The intensity of the colors,
the majesty of life,
unfolds on this final canvas...
