Poetry
April and May
What's Inside an Egg?
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the school children could
not begin
To put poor Humpty together
again!
I Won't Hatch
Oh I am a chickie who lives
in an egg,
But I will not hatch, I will
not hatch.
The hens they all cackle, the
roosters all beg,
But I will not hatch, I will
not hatch.
For I hear all the talk of pollution
and war
As the people all shout and
the airplanes roar,
So I'm staying in here where
it's sage and it's warm,
And I WILL NOT HATCH!
Where the Sidewalk Ends, by Shel Silverstein
Peck, peck, peck on a warm brown
egg.
Out comes a neck. Out comes a leg.
How does a chick who's not been
about
discover the trick to get out?
