ELETELEPHONY

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant -
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone -
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)

Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee -
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

-- Laura E. Richards (1850-1943)

Oh! Sweet America

Next to the Lord I love that land The land of liberty, the jewel of pilgrim's pride. A land; where George Washington fought, A land; where Abraham Lincoln taught Liberty, Justice, and Equality A glorious heaven, Where Japanese maples grow A land, where Irish roses blow A land; where lilies from Africa smile A land of democracy, a beauty without a spot Let the glory fill the sky, let thy freedom sing with joy Let every child happily cry, Oh! sweet America. Lord, ruler of America's mind, Before thy throne we bow our humble head; Bless America with thy infinite grace, Let this nation be the medium of thy mercy; Let this country be an instrument of thy wisdom. In war and in peace let thy mercy serve thy will Let thy might serve for justice, Equality, and Liberty. From the cliffs of the Rockies the lightning's thunder; From the banks of the Mississippi trees and birds twitter. From the shores of Florida to the mountains of Alaska Boys and girls are singing "Victory! Victory! to Thee! Vishnu P. Joshi

I got online early and posted a couple of things and then I had to start getting cleaned up. When I tried to get back on, no such luck, so I had to leave.

BUT, what I wanted to say is that is the most darling child reading the book that I’ve seen. He’s precious. And the poem is so funny cute. Thank ya’ll!
