Muffin and Puffin By Dennis Lee
Muffin and Puffin and Murphy and me
Went to Vancouver to swim in the sea.
Muffin went swimming, and swallowed a shark
Puffin saw Whales in Stanely Park
Murphy got lost and went bump in the dark
And I had a strawberry soda
Muffin and Puffin and Murphy and me
Came back from Vancouver, and back from the sea.
Muffin is puffing from eating the shark
Puffin is huffing from Stanley Park
Murphy is frightened to sleep in the dark
But I had a strawberry soda!
The Taxi
When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum.
I call out for you against the jutted stars
And shout into the ridges of the wind.
Streets coming fast,
One after the other,
Wedge you away from me,
And the lamps of the city prick my eyes
So that I can no longer see your face.
Why should I leave you,
To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
We also took a look at Ode to Joy and Telefon
