I’m glad the sky is Painted Blue
By Rosalyn Barnett (published in 1994)

I’m glad the sky is painted blue,
and the earth is painted green.
With such a lot of nice fresh air,
All sandwiched in between.
Runny’s Heading Rabits
By Shel Silverstein

Runny lent to the wibrary
And there were bundreds of hooks
Bistory hooks, beography gooks
And lots of bory stooks.

He looked them over one by one
And guess which one he took!
A bience scook? A boetry pook?
Oh no … a bomic cook!
