A favorite bit of silliness I read to my kids when they were very young.
Put Something In
Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
’Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain’t been there before.
I love Shel Silverstein! In the 4th grade we had the choice of 1. Writing book reports (that you had to read out loud) 2. Draw a picture (that you had to explain to the class) or 3. Recite 4 shel Silverstein poems to the class. I still have dozens of those poems living in my head!
