They pick on you
Play tricks on you
They talk behind your back
A hundred whispers to your one
They pick on you

On a bench, in Joe's little shed,
lying not too far apart,
were his ax and his switchblade,
having a quiet heart-to-heart.
The conversation between a blade and an ax is interesting, and it teaches a lesson. Nobody should be proud because of one's usefulness; everybody is needed but in a different way!

Famous Poem
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.

The things I can buy at the store...
A wonderful poem to teach children about kindness and generosity.
"A penny in a pocket's worth more than a grand,

forgetting what

Benny the bear was bare of all hair
And barely could bear being hairless.
He felt rather silly (and a little bit chilly)
And wished that the hairy bears stared less.
My face is plain
My eyes are wrong
My brain is big
My heart is strong
