Poems
by Shel Silverstein



School
Rain and hail
Cold and snow
Are good excuses not to go.
Narrator: David L., 4th grade





FLAG
One star is for Alaska...
One star is for Nebraska...
One star is North Dakota...
One is Minnesota...
There are lots of other stars.
But I forget which ones they are.
Narrator: Maria O., 4th Grade



INVENTION
I’ve done it, I’ve done it!
Guess what I’ve done
Invented a light that plugs into the sun.
The sun is bright enough,
The bulb is strong enough,
But, oh, there’s only one thing wrong...
The cord ain’t long enough.
Narrator: Răzvan, 5th Grade
The Voice
There is a voice inside of you
that whispers all day long,
'I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.
'No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
or wise man can decide
what's right for you - just listen to
the voice that speaks inside.
Narrators: Alberto, 5th Grade


Snowball
I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first it wet the bed.
Narrator: Maria, 5th Grade










Listen To The Mustn'Ts
Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.
Narrator: Maria C., 5th Grade
