We're All About Culture Here!

The Little Man Who Wasn't There

by Hughes Mearns

As I was going up the stair,

I met a man who wasn't there;

He wasn't there again today!

I wish, I wish, he'd stay away.

The Vulture

by Hilaire Belloc

The vulture eats between his meals,

And that's the reason why

He very,very rarely feels

As well as you or I.

His eye is dull. His head is bald,

His neck is growing thinner,

Oh, what a lesson for us all,

To only eat at dinner!

(*He's never said "yous" before. I don't know where that came from!)

LOL! These are so cool.

The boys love to watch them, and have asked if we can do this, too. I guess that means they'd be willing to memorize things if I will film them? Hmmm... I think you are on to something Very Good with this!

It Does seem to be a very good motivator around here (thankfully, my kids inherited their daddy's show-off streak instead of my shyness!). And I don't have to feel guilty because my internet guests, unlike real life guests, can discreetly walk out mid-performance if they want to!
