Jack Prelutsky Poems

Last night I dreamed of chickens,
there were chickens everywhere,
they were standing on my stomach,
they were nesting in my hair,
...

Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.
...

As soon as Fred gets out of bed,
his underwear goes on his head.
His mother laughs, 'Don't put it there,
a head's no place for underwear! '
...

it came today to visit
and moved into the house
it was smaller than an elephant
but larger than a mouse
...

I am Ebenezer Bleezer,
I run BLEEZER'S ICE CREAM STORE,
there are flavors in my freezer
you have never seen before,
...

'My stomach's full of butterflies! '
lamented Dora Diller.
Her mother sighed. 'That's no surprise,
you ate a caterpillar! '
...

I am Super Samson Simpson,
I'm superlatively strong,
I like to carry elephants,
I do it all day long,
...

Homework! Oh, Homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you away in the sink,
if only a bomb
...

Deep in our refrigerator,
there's a special place
...

I met a dragon face to face
the year when I was ten,
I took a trip to outer space,
...
