Стихотворения

If you ever ever ever ever
If you ever ever ever meet a whale.
You must never never never never,
You must never never never touch its tail.

For if you ever ever ever ever,
If you ever ever ever touch its tail,
You will never never never never never,
You will never never meet another whale.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can,
Pat it and prick it and mark it with B,
And put it in the oven for baby and me.

I made myself a snowman
As perfect as could be
I thought I’d keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me

I made it some pyjamas
And a pillow for it’s head
Then last night it ran away
But first it wet the bed!

by Shel Silverstein

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

White Noise

In all the world
There’s nothing like
The sound of falling snow –
The only noise
I’ve ever known
That makes the clocks move slow.
The only sound
That sweeps away
The din of city streets,
And wraps around,
In soft embrace,
’Most everyone it meets.
A sound that’s not
A sound at all –
A quiet, soft and dear,
That comforts all
The sleepy souls
Who sit, and watch, and hear.

by Barbara Vance

When the world is all at odds
and the mind is all at sea,
then cease the useless tedium
and brew a cup of tea.

There is magic in its fragrance;
there is solace in its taste.
And then laden moments vanish
somehow into space.

The world becomes a lovely thing;
there’s beauty as you’ll see.
All because you briefly stopped
to brew a cup of tea.

by William Gladstone
