Love That BoyBy Walter Dean Myers
Love that boy,
Like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
Like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
Love to call him
“Hey there son!”
He walk like his Grandpa
Grins like his Uncle Ben
I said he walk like his Grandpa,
And grins like his Uncle Ben.
Grins when he’s happy,
When he sad, he grins again.
His mama like to hold him,
Like to feed him cherry pie.
I said his mama like to hold him.
Like to feed him cherry pie.
She can have him now.
I’ll get him by and by.
He got long roads to walk down
Before the setting sun.
I said he got a long, long road to walk down
Before the setting sun.
He’ll be a long stride walker,
And a good man before he done.
Love My Brother by K.H.
Love my brother
like a bunny loves carrots
I said I love my brother
like a bunny loves carrots
Love to call him in the morning
love to call him
“hey there Keith!”
He walks on his tippy toes
Laughs like his dad
I said he walks on his tippy toes
And laughs like his dad
Laughs when it’s funny
When he’s happy, he laughs again.
The Tyger by William Blake
Tyger, Tyger, burning bright,
IN the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies,
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
TygerTyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
The Ocean by S.
Ocean, Ocean, cold and wet
What feaful foe have you met
That defeated you in battles?
Tiger, Earth or Snake that rattles?
Machine by A.
Machines, machines glowing bright
what lever or switch
can tame this beast
In what factory
made the beast
what purpose must he achieve
what man dare
control the beast.
