“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”

- William Shakespeare

Page 12: English is FUN & EASY

YOU CANIf you think you are beaten, you

are,If you think you dare not, you do

not.If you would like to win, but you

think you can`t,It is almost a hint you will not!

If you think you`ll lose, you have lost,

For out in the world you findSuccess begins with the will,It is all in the state of mind.

If you think you`re outclassed, you are,

You`ve got to think high to riseYou`ve got to think of yourself

beforeYou can ever win the prize

For many a race is lostBefore ever a step is run;And many a coward fails,

Before his work has even begun.

Think big and your deeds will grow,

Think small and you`ll fall behind,Think that you can and you will,

It is all in the state of mind!

Life`s battles do not always goTo the stronger or faster man;

But sooner or later the man who wins

Is the one who thinks he can!

So she had it made sharp,And purchased a harp,

And played several tunes with her chin.

You are old, Father Williamby Lewis Carroll

"You are old, father William," the young man said, "And your hair has become very white; And yet you incessantly stand on your head Do you think, at your age, it is right?"In my youth," father William

replied to his son, "I feared it might injure the

brain; But, now that I'm perfectly

sure I have none, Why, I do it again and

again."

"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before, And you have grown most uncommonly fat; Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door Pray what is the reason for that?"

"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks, "I kept all my limbs very supple By the use of this ointment one shilling a box Allow me to sell you a couple?"

"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak 

For anything tougher than suet; 

Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak Pray, how did you manage to

do it?"

"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law, 

And argued each case with my wife; 

And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw, 

Has lasted the rest of my life."

"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose That your eye was as steady as ever; Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose What made you so awfully clever?"

"I have answered three questions, and that is enough," Said his father. "Don't give yourself airs! Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff? Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs.

I saw you toss the kites up highAnd blow the birds about the skyAnd all around I heard you passLike ladies’ skirts across the grass

O wind, a-blowing all day longO wind that sings so loud a song

I saw the different things you didBut always you yourself you hidI felt you push, I heard you callI could not see yourself at all

Slowly, silently, now the moonWalks the night in her silver shoon;This way, and that, she peers, and seesSilver fruit upon silver trees;One by one the casements catchHer beams beneath the silvery thatch;Couched in his kennel, like a log,With paws of silver sleeps the dog;From their shadowy cote the white breasts peepOf doves in a silver-feathered sleep;A harvest mouse goes scampering by,With silver claws and a silver eye;And moveless fish in the water gleam,By silver reeds in a silver stream.

My mother sure is a smart lady

she always catches me doing things she forbids

I didn't think she'd see me stealing a cookie

but like all the other times, she did!

I know I shouldn't disobey mother like I do

Gee whiz! Sometimes a boy has to be a boy

Today she told me to quit pestering my sister

and to give her back her favorite toy.

When mother tells dad things I did he smiles

I think maybe he remembers he was a boy too

it would be bad on me if he didn't understand

but I've decided to cut down on bad things I do.

Because I love my mother and sister a lot

I will turn over a new leaf and start being good

because I know they love me like I do them

stopping mischief, I can and know I should.And I Will

Song of the Palanquin Bearers

Lightly, O lightly we bear her along,She sways like a flower in the wind of

our song; She skims like a bird on the foam of a

stream. She floats like a laugh from the lips

of a dream. Gaily, O gaily, we glide and we sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a

string. Softly, O softly, we bear her along, She hangs like a star in the dew of

our song. She springs like a beam on the brow

of the tide, She falls like a tear from the eye of a

bride. Lightly, O lightly, we glide and we

sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a

string.

-- Poem by Sarojini Naidu

I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough

and dough? Others may stumble, but not

you On hiccough, thorough, slough,

and through? Well done! And now you wish,

perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps? Beware of heard, a dreadful

word That looks like beard and

sounds like bird, And dead: it's said like bed, not

bead– For goodness' sake, don't call it

deed! Watch out for meat and great

and threat, (They rhyme with suite and

straight and debt.)

A moth is not a moth in mother Nor both in bother, broth in brother, And here is not a match for there, And dear and fear for bear and pear, And then there's dose and rose and lose– Just look them up--and goose and choose, And cork and work and card and ward, And font and front and word and sword, And do and go, and thwart and cart– Come, come I've hardly made a start! A dreadful language? Why man alive! I'd learned to talk it when I was five, And yet to write it, the more I tried, I hadn't learned at fifty-five!

Somewhere over the rainbowWay up high,

There is a land that I heard ofOnce in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbowSkies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dreamReally do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a starAnd wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me.Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney topsThat's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbowBluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow.Why then, oh why can't I?If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbowWhy, oh why can't I?
