Sick

By Shel Silverstein More Shel Silverstein

“I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more--that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What’s that? What’s that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!”

1- IT'S FUN TO HAVE A PET! 

Cats and rabbits

And hamsters and frogs

Snakes and turtles 

And gerbils and dogs

Firh that love to be all wet

OH it's fun to have a pet

Pets have needs, pets need care

Give the selter and treat then fairl

Pets have needs, pets need you

Food and water and exercise too! 

Femets and mice

And parrot and bugs

Lizar and crabs 

And tarantulas

Horses you ride now don't forget

OH it's fun to have a pet.

2-MY SENSES

I can hear the birds sing

The dogs ark, the cat miow

I can hear the phone ring

I can hear YOU !

I see the glass grow

The bright stars, the yellow moon

 i can see the white snow

I can see you 

I can smell the roast meat 

The fresh bread, the pretty flowers

I can smell you dirty feet

I can smell you! 

I can touch the soft grass

The cold ice, the wet rain

I can touch the smooth glass

I can touch you. 

I can taste the crispy apple

The chocolate bar 

The cream cake

I can taste the fresh pineapple

I can taste you

3- THE SUGAR LADY

There is and old lady who lives down the hall

Wrinkled and gray and toothless and small. 

At seven already she's up, 

Going from door to door with a cup. 

Do you have any sugar? She asks

Although she's got more than you

Dou you have any sugar? She asks,

Hopinh you'll talk for a minute or two. 

4- CITY CITY

City, city

Wrong and bad, 

Looms above me

When I'm sad

Throws it shadow

On my care, 

She's Ir poison

In my air, 

Pound me with sadness

On my face, 

I long to libe

Another place
