Five Little Toes In The Morning

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

This little toe is hungry-
This little toe is too,
This toe lies abed like a sleepy head,
And this toe cries "Boo-hoo."
This toe big and tall is the smartest of all
For he pops into stocking and shoe.

    Backward
    by William Carlos Williams
    A three-day-long rain from the east-- an terminable talking, talking of no consequence--patter, patter, patter. Hand in hand little winds blow the thin streams aslant.
