Funny / Falling Up (Silverstein)

• "The Porky" (a poem about a porcupine):
  Oh who will wash the porky's ears,
  And who will comb his tail,
  And who will shine his long sharp quills
  And manicure his nails?
  Oh Willie may wash the porky's ears,
  And Carole may comb his tail,
  And Sidney may shine his long sharp quills,
  And I'll go down for the mail....
• "Carrots", which has an illustration of a guy with carrots stuck in his eyes:
  They say that carrots are good for your eyes,
  They swear that they improve your sight,
  But I'm seein' worse than I did last night—
  You think maybe I ain't usin' 'em right?
• "Gardener", a short poem about a very "unique" gardener.
  We gave you a chance
  To water the plants
  We didn't mean that way—
  zip up your pants
