Katy Ate a Crate of Dates

(A Tongue Twister)

Katy ate a crate of eighty

"rated Grade A" dates.

(Grade A dates are rated "Grade A"

mainly for their weights.)

 

Eighty dates made plates and plates

and Katy ate all eighty.

Katy met her fate that date,

and now the crate holds Katy.

--Kenn Nesbitt

JANE and PAUL

 

A very nice girl is Jane

 

She always comes home before rain,

 

She always helps her mother

 

She always listens to her brother.

 

A very lazy boy is Paul

 

He never parts with his ball,

 

He never helps his mother

 

He never listens to his sister.

 

Jane is always nice

 

Paul is never wise,

 

Jane is never noisy

 

Paul is always lazy.

Learning English (a poem)

 

 

 

Learning English is very easy

 

If you’re not too busy

 

It won’t take you very long

 

If your wish is too strong.

 

Learning English becomes easy

 

If you’re not too lazy

 

You can learn it very fast

 

And speak it fluently at last.
