Read the poem The Ticket Collector by Maud Keary

• THE people come, the people go,
• The ticket man stands there,
• The trains rush in and out below,
• And some one steps aside to know
• How much his extra fare?

• None stay to look at anything,
• But each alone intent,
• Passes with haste or measured swing,
• And thinking of a different thing,
• Walks up the dark ascent.

• O ticket man, the sky is bright
• With golden floods of sun—
• Not yours that wide, blue, radiant sight;
• Here business jostles out the light
• And night and day are one.
•

Read the nursery rhyme Tom, he was a piper's son
Tom he was a piper's son,
He learned to play when he was young,
But all the tunes that he could play
Was "Over the hills and far away".

That those who heard him could never keep still;
Whenever they heard him they began to dance,
Even pigs on their hind legs would after him prance.

The apples are seasoned and ripe and sound.

The apples are stored in the dusky bin,

Where hardly a glimmer of light creeps in.

In the firelit, winter nights, they'll be,

The clear sweet taste of a summer tree.

Read poem "Animal Crackers" by Christopher Morley

Animal crackers and cocoa to drink,
That is the finest of suppers, I think;
When I'm grown up and can have what I please
I think I shall always insist upon these.

What do you choose when you're offered a treat?
When Mother says, "What would you like best to eat?"
Is it waffles and syrup, or cinnamon toast?
It's cocoa and animals that I love the most!

The kitchen's the coziest place that I know:
The kettle is singing, the stove is aglow,
And there in the twilight, how jolly to see
The cocoa and animals waiting for me.

Daddy and Mother dine later in state,
With Mary to cook for them, Susan to wait;
But they don't have nearly as much fun as I
Who eat in the kitchen with Nurse standing by;
And Daddy once said he would like to be me
Having cocoa and animals once more for tea!
