Here is a poem by Shel Silverstein I found in his collected book of poems Where the Sidewalk Ends. We will be reading it today in class and I hope it encourages an interest in poetry.
Captain Hook
Captain Hook must remember
Not to scratch his toes.
Captain Hook must watch out
And never pick his nose.
Captain Hook must be gentle
When he shakes your hand.
Captain Hook must be careful
Openin' sardine cans
And playing tag and pouring tea
And turnin' pages of his book.
Lots of folks I'm glad I ain't--
But mostly Captain Hook!
Shel Silverstein
