Find your funny bone and grab your giggles!
You're about to embark on an adventure through the hilarious landscape created by ALAN KATZ and EDWARD KOREN.
From the kingdom of His Royal Sloppiness (also known as the prince of fingerprints) to the trouble-ridden Pencil-vania, this is a world of hallway hijinks, show-and-smell, clean-freak parents, dentist dilemmas, bothersome brothers, and sinister sisters. If you are a kid, or you know a kid, or if you ever were a kid, this is a poetry collection to cherish (but wipe your hands first!).

Whoosh!
The wind is blowing
quite a breeze.
The wind is blowing
on my knees.

Real-Life Soap Opera
My sister was fascinated
by the underwater scene.
She asked, "When did we get a round TV?"
I said, "You're watching the washing
Don't Look for Him on the Web
Little Miss Muffet
got scared on her tuffet
while eating her curds and her whey.
But little Miss Snider
just sat on the spider
and snarfed on Miss Muffet's buffet.
Foul Bawl
The score was tied.
Dave passed the ball.
I squeezed it with both hands.
I dribbled and then
shot it high.
A great hush filled the stands.
The ball went in!
Man, what a toss!
The whole team blew a gasket!
A perfect shot,
except that it
was our opponent's basket!
Two weeks went by.
Another game.
This time I stole the ball.
My hands were tense.
My chance had come
for glory after all.
I threw it hard.
I threw it fast.
As fast as it could get.
It wasn't blocked!
And yes, it rocketed
right through the net!
The crowd was mad.
The coach got sore
and sent me to my locker.
That throw was great,
he did admit --
but we were playing soccer!
This morning there's another game.
We'll win it in a rout.
It's baseball, and the coach said I
will surely play "left out"!
