George
George, who played with a dangerous toy, and suffered a catastrophe of Considerable dimensions
When George's Grandmamma was told
That George had been as good as Gold,
She promised in the Afternoon
To buy him an Immense BALLOON.
And so she did; but when it came,
It got into the candle flame,
And being of a dangerous sort
Exploded with a loud report!
The Lights went out! The Windows Broke!
The Room was filled with reeking smoke,
And in the darkness shrieks and yells
Were mingled with Electric Bells,
And falling masonry and groans,
And crunching, as of broken bones,
And dreadful shrieks, when, worst of all,
The House itself began to fall!
It tottered, shuddering to and fro,
Then crashed into the street below -
Which happened to be Saville Row.
When Help arrived, among the Dead
Were Cousin Mary, Little Fred,
The Footmen (both of them), the Groom,
The man that cleaned the Billiard-Room,
The Chaplain, and the Still-Room Maid.
And I am dreadfully afraid
That Monsieur Champignon, the Chef,
Will now be permanently deaf -
And both his Aides are much the same;
While George, who was in part to blame,
Received, you will regret to hear,
A nasty lump behind the ear.
Moral
The moral is that little Boys
Should not be given dangerous Toys.

How To Eat a Poem
Don't be polite.
Bite in.
Pick it up with your fingers and lick the juice that
may run down your chin.
It is ready and ripe now, whenever you are.
You do not need a knife or fork or spoon
or plate or napkin or tablecloth.
For there is no core
or stem
or rind
or pit
or seed
or skin
to throw away.

Um leilão com ilustrações de Warhol e outras raridades
O facto é pouco conhecido. Entre 1957 e 1959, o artista pop Andy Warhol, então com cerca de 30 anos, ilustrou o clássico da literatura infantil "The Little Red Hen".
O conjunto de desenhos vai agora a leilão, dia 9 de Dezembro, em Nova Iorque. As peças não estão sozinhas. Fazem parte de um total de 365 livros e ilustrações originais.
Continuar a ler no Jornal I.
