Choice #3 Awful Ogre's Breakfast by Jack Prelutsky

Oh breakfast, lovely breakfast,
You're the meal I savor most.
I sip a bit of gargoyle bile
and chew on some ghoul toast.

I linger over scrambled legs,
Complete with pickled feet,
Then finish with piping bowl
of steamy SCREAM OF WHEAT.

Choice #2 The Vulture by Hilaire Belloc

The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why
He very, very rarely feels
As well as you and I.

His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! What a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner!

The Rose Family
by Robert Frost
The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose--
But were always a rose.

Advanced Reading Class-----Your Poem!

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenn snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing;
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

The poem is an excerpt from William Shakespeare's MACBETH.......
