It's Raining Pigs and Noodles

It's raining pigs and noodles,
it's pouring frogs and hats,
chrysanthemums and poodles,
bananas, brooms, and cats.
Assorted prunes and parrots
are dropping from the sky,
here comes a bunch of carrots,
some hippopotami. 

It's raining pens and pickles,
and eggs and silverware.
A flood of figs and nickels
is falling through the air.
I see a swan, a sweater,
a clock, a model train—
I like this so much better
than when it's raining rain.

My Underdog Is Overweight

My underdog is overweight,
he has an underbite,
he tends to tunnel underground
and stay there overnight.

That overactive underdog
is often hard to bear...
he overate my overcoat
and all my underwear.

Noisy, Noisy

It's noisy, noisy overhead,
the birds are winging south,
and every bird is opening
a noisy, noisy mouth. 

They fill the air with loud complaint,
they honk and quack and squawk—
they do not feel like flying,
but it's much too far to walk.

See What Happened!

See what happened! Hapless Peter
turned into a parking meter.
On the club he stands all day,
wishing dogs would go away.

I Awakened with a Feeling

I awakened with a feeling
that was not exactly fright,
after something ate the feathers
in my pillow overnight.

Never Never Disagree

Never never disagree
with a shark beneath the sea,
lest you feel a sudden crunch
and discover you are lunch.

I Know I Have a Pointy Head

I know I have a pointy head,
and that I'm long and narrow.
but still, that archer had no right
to use me as an arrow.

I'm Glad I'm not a Firefly

I'm glad I'm not a firefly,
for I suspect I'd mind
a permanent electric light
attached to my behind.

下雨下豬下麵條

下雨下豬下麵條，
傾盆而下的還有青蛙和帽，
菊花和獅子狗，
香蕉，掃帚，和貓。
五顏六色的梅子乾和鸚鵡
自天空繽紛落下，
還有胡蘿蔔一束，
好幾頭河馬。

下雨下筆下醃黃瓜，
還有蛋和銀器。
豪雨似的無花果和鎳幣
穿過大氣層落下。
我看到一隻天鵝，一件羊毛衫，
一個時鐘，一列模型火車——
我喜歡這樣的景象遠遠
勝過下雨時只有雨水飄落。

我家的賤狗體重過重 

我家的賤狗體重過重，
他有著下顎前凸的嘴型，
老喜歡在地底下挖掘洞穴
並且待在裡頭過夜。

我那過動的賤狗
常常超過我忍受的限度……
他吃掉我太多的外套
還有我所有的內衣褲。

好吵，好吵

我的頭頂上好吵，好吵，
那些鳥正展翅南飛，
每一隻都張著
好吵，好吵的嘴。
 
它們用大聲的抱怨塞爆天空，
叭喇叭喇呱啦呱啦吱嘎吱嘎地叫喊——
它們不怎麼喜歡飛行，
但是用走的，距離實在太遠！

瞧瞧發生了什麼事！

瞧瞧發生了什麼事！倒楣的彼得
變成一具停車計費器了。
他在桿子上站了一整天，
多麼希望狗兒們快快走遠。

我醒來有一種感覺

我醒來有一種感覺
而那並不完全是恐懼，
前一天夜裡有某樣東西
吃掉了我枕頭裡的羽毛。

絕不要絕不要不同意

絕不要絕不要不同意
海面下的任何一隻鯊魚，
以免突然感到一陣嘎札碎裂
發現自己竟然成了午餐。
　

我知道我的頭顱尖尖

我知道我的頭顱尖尖，
也知道我又狹又長。
即便如此，那名弓箭手還是無權
把我當作箭矢射放。

很高興我不是一隻螢火蟲

很高興我不是一隻螢火蟲，
因為我想我會介意
一盞永不熄滅的電燈
一直黏附在我的屁屁。
