I tripped on my shoelace
And I fell up-
Up to the roof tops,
Up over the town,
Up past the tree tops,
Up over the mountains,
Up where the colors
Blend into the sounds.
But it got me so dizzy
When I looked around,
I got sick to my stomach
And I threw down.
Rating 5 out of 5 stars. The poems featured in this book are funny and sometimes laugh out loud hilarious. All of these poems are kid friendly and good for children to adults. For children who do not like poetry, Shel Silverstein will make students want to read this genre.
