I'm Miss Misinformation, it's my gratifying task to tell you all you need to know, you only need to ask.

One by one or by the bunch-Rat, oh rat, oh rat for lunch!

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!" But near his ears, above his brains, is where Fred's underwear remains. I am digging a hole in the ceiling in order to gaze at the sky, I began at the end of September, I intend to be done by July.

Here are more poems bursting to be listened to, chanted, laughed over, and remembered. It would be hard to find a school-age kid who has not read or heard a Prelutsky poem and who does not want to hear another. He plays with the language and encourages listeners to revel in the game.
