April is poetry month and today I share a favorite poem instead of a picture book.
From Jack Prelutsky’s Something Big Has Been Here: Twaddletalk Tuck.
I’m Twaddletalk Tuck and I talk and I talk
and I talk when I run and I talk when I walk
and I talk when I hop and I talk when I creep
and I talk when I wake and I talk when I sleep
and I talk when it’s wet and I talk when it’s dry
and I talk when I laugh and I talk when i cry
and I talk when I jump and I talk when I land
and I talk when I sit and I talk when I stand
and I talk and I talk into anyone’s ear
and I talk and I talk when there’s nobody near
and I talk when I’m hoarse and my voice is a squawk
for I’m Twaddletalk Tuck and I talk and I talk.
and I talk when I run and I talk when I walk
and I talk when I hop and I talk when I creep
and I talk when I wake and I talk when I sleep
and I talk when it’s wet and I talk when it’s dry
and I talk when I laugh and I talk when i cry
and I talk when I jump and I talk when I land
and I talk when I sit and I talk when I stand
and I talk and I talk into anyone’s ear
and I talk and I talk when there’s nobody near
and I talk when I’m hoarse and my voice is a squawk
for I’m Twaddletalk Tuck and I talk and I talk.
