The library is dangerous— Don't go in. If you do You know what will happen. It's like a pet store or a bakery— Every single time you' ll come out of there Holding something in your arms. The library is dangerous, full Of answers. If you go inside, You may not come out The same person who went in. | "I cannot go to school today," Said little Peggy Ann McKay. " My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I'm going blind in my right eye. My leg is cut— my eyes are blue— I think it might be the flu. My knees hurt, I cannot stand straight, My temperature is thirty eight. I have a headache, and my heart is— what? What's that? What's that you say? You say today is... Saturday? Goodbye, I'm going out to play!" |
The tires on my bike are flat. The sky is dark and gray. At least it sure feels like that Since Hanna moved away. Nothing's fun to laugh about. Nothing's fun to play. They call me, but I won't come out Since Hanna moved away. | Warm summer sun, Shine kindly here, Warm southern wind, Blow softly here. Green so d above, Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart, Good night, good night. |
