  • Bed in Summer (Pickled Poem Ep. 43)

    "Bed in Summer" by Robert Louis Stevenson

    In winter I get up at night
    And dress by yellow candle-light.
    In summer, quite the other way,
    I have to go to bed by day.

    I have to go to bed and see
    The birds still hopping on the tree,
    Or hear the grown-up people's feet
    Still going past me in the street.

    And does it not seem hard to you,
    When all the sky is clear and blue,
    And I should like so much to play,
    To have to go to bed by day?

    "The Pancake Poem" by Shel Silverstein

    Who wants a pancake,
    Sweet and piping hot?

    Who else wants a pancake,
    Fresh off the griddle?
    Terrible Teresa smiles and says,
    "I'll take the one in the middle."

  • The Caterpillar (Pickled Poem Ep. 41)

    "The Caterpillar" by Douglas Florian


    The caterpillar's not a cat.
    It's very small
    And short and fat,
    And with those little beady little eyes
    Will never win a beauty prize.
    The caterpillar's brain is small
    It only knows to eat and crawl.
    But for this creepy bug
    Don't cry,
    It soon will be a butterfly!

  • The Duke of Plaza-Toro (Pickled Poem Ep. 40)

    The Duke of Plaza-Toro

    by W. S. Gilbert

    In enterprise of martial kind,
    When there was any fighting,
    He led his regiment from behind
    (He found it less exciting).
    But when away his regiment ran,
    His place was at the fore, O-
    That celebrated,
    Cultivated,
    Underrated
    Nobleman,
    The Duke of Plaza-Toro!
    In the first and foremost flight, ha, ha!
    You always found that knight, ha, ha!
    That celebrated,
    Cultivated,
    Underrated
    Nobleman,
    The Duke of Plaza-Toro!
    When, to evade Destruction's hand,
    To hide they all proceeded,
    No soldier in that gallant band
    Hid half as well as he did.
    He lay concealed throughout the war,
    And so preserved his gore, O!
    That unaffected,
    Undetected,
    Well connected
    Warrior,
    The Duke of Plaza-Toro!
    In every doughty deed, ha, ha!
    He always took the lead, ha, ha!
    That unaffected,
    Undetected,
    Well connected
    Warrior,
    The Duke of Plaza-Toro!
    When told that they would all be shot
    Unless they left the service,
    That hero hesitated not,
    So marvellous his nerve is.
    He sent his resignation in,
    The first of all his corps, O!
    That very knowing,
    Overflowing,
    Easy-going
    Paladin,
    The Duke of Plaza-Toro!
    To men of grosser clay, ha, ha!
    He always showed the way, ha, ha!
    That very knowing,
    Overflowing,
    Easy-going
    Paladin,
    The Duke of Plaza-Toro!

  • Spring Cricket (Pickled Poem Ep. 39)

    Spring Cricket

    by Frances Rodman


    He put away his tiny pipe

    Last autumn, when the gale was chill:

    And now in rusty coat and brown

    He tries his strength upon the hill


    With fiddle tucked beneath a wing

    He staggers over a stubbled ground

    He climbs upon a sunny stone

    Shakes winter off, and looks around


    He polishes his dingy coat

    And scrapes a valiant tune and high

    To tell his tiny universe

    That April's due to saunter by.

  • Today is Very Boring (Pickled Poem Ep. 38)

    Today is Very Boring

    by Jack Prelutsky

    Today is very boring,
    It’s a very boring day,
    There is nothing much to look at,
    There is nothing much to say,
    There’s a peacock on my sneakers,
    There’s a penguin on my head,
    There’s a dormouse on my doorstep,
    I am going back to bed.

    Today is very boring,
    It is boring through and through,
    There is absolutely nothing
    That I think I want to do,
    I see giants riding rhinos,
    And an ogre with a sword,
    There’s a dragon blowing smoke rings,
    I am positively bored.

    Today is very boring,
    I can hardly help but yawn,
    There’s a flying saucer landing
    In the middle of my lawn,
    A volcano just erupted
    Less than half a mile away,
    And I think I felt an earthquake,
    It’s a very boring day.

  • Father William (Pickled Poem Ep. 37)

    Father William

    by Lewis Carroll

    "You are old, father William," the young man said,
        "And your hair has become very white;
      And yet you incessantly stand on your head —
        Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
      "In my youth," father William replied to his son,
        "I feared it would injure the brain;
      But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
        Why, I do it again and again."
      "You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,
        And have grown most uncommonly fat;
      Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door —
        Pray, what is the reason of that?"
      "In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
        "I kept all my limbs very supple
      By the use of this ointment — one shilling the box —
        Allow me to sell you a couple."
      "You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak
        For anything tougher than suet;
      Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak —
        Pray, how did you manage to do it?"
      "In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
        And argued each case with my wife;
      And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
        Has lasted the rest of my life."
      "You are old," said the youth; one would hardly suppose
        That your eye was as steady as ever;
      Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose —
        What made you so awfully clever?"
      "I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
        Said his father; "don't give yourself airs!
      Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
        Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!"
    "That is not said right," said the Caterpillar. 
    "Not quite right, I'm afraid," said Alice timidly;
    "some of the words have got altered."
    "It is wrong from beginning to end,"
    said the Caterpillar decidedly, and
    there was silence for some minutes.

  • Rain Music (Pickled Poem Ep. 36)

    Rain Music

    by Joseph Seamon Cotter, Jr

    On the dusty earth-drum
       Beats the falling rain; 
    Now a whispered murmur, 
       Now a louder strain. 
    Slender, silvery drumsticks, 
        On an ancient drum, 
    Beat the mellow music
        Bidding life to come. 
    Chords of earth awakened, 
        Notes of greening spring, 
    Rise and fall triumphant
        Over every thing. 
    Slender, silvery drumsticks 
        Beat the long tattoo—
    God, the Great Musician, 
        Calling life anew.

  • The Embarrassing Episode of Little Miss Muffet (Pickled Poem Ep. 35)

    The Embarrassing Episode of Little Miss Muffet

    by Guy Wetmore Carryl

    Little Miss Muffet discovered a tuffet,
    (Which never occurred to the rest of us)
    And, as 'twas a June day, and just about noonday,
    She wanted to eat—like the rest of us:
    Her diet was whey, and I hasten to say
    It is wholesome and people grow fat on it.
    The spot being lonely, the lady not only
    Discovered the tuffet, but sat on it.
     
    A rivulet gabbled beside her and babbled,
    As rivulets always are thought to do,
    And dragon flies sported around and cavorted,
    As poets say dragon flies ought to do;
    When, glancing aside for a moment, she spied
    A horrible sight that brought fear to her,
    A hideous spider was sitting beside her,
    And most unavoidably near to her!
     
    Albeit unsightly, this creature politely Said:
    "Madam, I earnestly vow to you,
    I'm penitent that I did not bring my hat.
    I Should otherwise certainly bow to you."
    Thought anxious to please, he was so ill at ease
    That he lost all his sense of propriety,
    And grew so inept that he clumsily stept
    In her plate—which is barred in Society.
     
    This curious error completed her terror;
    She shuddered, and growing much paler, not
    Only left tuffet, but dealt him a buffet
    Which doubled him up in a sailor knot.
    It should be explained that at this he was pained:
    He cried: "I have vexed you, no doubt of it!
    Your fists's like a truncheon." "You're still in my luncheon,"
    Was all that she answered. "Get out of it!"
     
    And the Moral is this: Be it madam or miss
    To whom you have something to say,
    You are only absurd when you get in the curd
    But you're rude when you get in the whey.

  • The Road Not Taken AND Two Roads (Pickled Poems Ep. 34)

    Today we have TWO pickled poems! Did you know that sometimes poems talk to each other?

     

    Our first poem is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

     

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

    And sorry I could not travel both

    And be one traveler, long I stood

    And looked down one as far as I could

    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

     

    Then took the other, as just as fair,

    And having perhaps the better claim,

    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

    Though as for that the passing there

    Had worn them really about the same,

     

    And both that morning equally lay

    In leaves no step had trodden black.

    Oh, I kept the first for another day!

    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

    I doubted if I should ever come back.

     

    I shall be telling this with a sigh

    Somewhere ages and ages hence:

    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

    I took the one less traveled by,

    And that has made all the difference.

     

     

    The second poem is “Two Roads” by Chris Harris

     

    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --

    I took the one less traveled by...

    Since then I've been completely lost.

    Thanks for nothing, Robert Frost!
