"Bed in Summer" by Robert Louis Stevenson

In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?

"The Pancake Poem" by Shel Silverstein

Who wants a pancake,
Sweet and piping hot?
Good little Grace looks up and says,
"I'll take the one on top."
Who else wants a pancake,
Fresh off the griddle?
Terrible Teresa smiles and says,
"I'll take the one in the middle."

"The Caterpillar" by Douglas Florian

The caterpillar's not a cat.
It's very small
And short and fat,
And with those little beady little eyes
Will never win a beauty prize.
The caterpillar's brain is small
It only knows to eat and crawl.
But for this creepy bug
Don't cry,
It soon will be a butterfly!
