Science

The turkey shot out of the ovenAnd rocketed into the air,It knocked every plate off the tableAnd partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner And burst with a deafening boom,Then splattered all over the kitchenCompletely obscuring the room

It stuck to the walls and the windows,It totally coated the floor,There was turkey attached to the ceilingWhere there’d never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance,It smeared every saucer and bowl,There wasn’t a way I could stop it,That turkey was out of control.

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,And thought with chagrin as I mopped,That I’d never again stuff a turkeyWith popcorn that hadn’t been popped.

Laugh a Little By James Rath

Giggle and laugh Snicker and glee Chuckle, then smile Ha-ha to me And he-he to you.

Laughter is medicine The medicine of souls Without, it’s a place Where no one wants to be With it, we’re happy Happy go lucky Go smiling and cheerfully by.

Laughter starts deep, deep in the soul Moves up with a tickle Maybe a bubble or two Don’t hold it in, just take a deep breath. Chin starts to quiver Eyes start to bounce The laughter erupts Coming out with a rush Producing in others A smile and a chuckle Some glee and a snicker And a laugh and a giggle.

Timeby Valerie Bloom

Time’s a bird, which leaves its footprintsAt the corners of your eyes,Time’s a jockey, racing horses,The sun and mood across the skies.Time’s a thief, stealing your beauty,Leaving you with tears and sighs,But you waste time trying to catch him,Time’s a bird and Time just flies.

My Shadowby Robert Louis Stevenson

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;For he sometimes shoots up taller like a rubber ball,And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.

He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see;I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

One morning, very early, before the sun was up,I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
