Sarah's Parent's should have gave her a time-out

[x7xthreatx7x]

sarah Cynthia sylvia stout would not take the garbage out. She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans, candy the yams & spice the hams. And though her daddy would scream & shout. She simply would not take the garbage out. And so it piled up to the ceiling, coffee grounds potato peelings, brown bananas rotten peas, chunks of sour cottage cheese. I filled the can, i covered the floor, It cracked the window and blocked the door with bacon rinds and chicken bones, drippy ends of ice cream cones.

[x7xthreatx7x]

Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel, gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal, pizza crusts and withered greens, soggy beans & tangerines. Crusts of black burned buttered toast, Gristly bits of beefy roast. The garbage rolled on down the hall, it raised the roof, it broke the wall. Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs, globs of gooey bubble gum, cellophane from green baloney, rubbery, blubbery macaroni. Peanut butter caked & dry, curdled milk & crusts of pie.

[x7xthreatx7x]

Moldy melons, dried up mustard, eggshells mixed with lemon custard. Cold french fries & rancid meat, yellow lumps of Cream Of Wheat. At last the garbage reached so high that it finally touched the sky, and all the neighbors moved away, and none of her friends would come to play. And finally Sarah Cynthia stout said: OK! I'll take the garbage out! But then of course it was too late, the garbage reached across the state from NY to the golden gate & there in the garbage she did hate.

[x7xthreatx7x]

Poor Sarah met an awful fate that I cannot now relate. Because the hour is much too late. But children remember sarah stout! and always take the garbage out!

[Pookieftw]

Yes, what a wonderful poem it is.

[shunt1974]

oh my god i rember this on the dr demento show

[Pookieftw]

Oh yeah, it's a classic.

[Sportiboy]

This was fun to watch! 5*

[Pookieftw]

Thanks Sportiboy!

[2oobwatcher]

I have rowses and rowses of noses and noses,

And why they all growses I really can't guess.

No lilies or roses, just cold catching noses,

And when they all blowses, it's really a mess.

love ya☺ Ann

[Pookieftw]

That's a great poem!

[2oobwatcher]

excerpt...My Nose Garden-Shel Silversteins from his Falling Up book. He's truly a renaissance man...illustrator..musician..w­onder how many know he wrote Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue"

[Pookieftw]

I didn't know he wrote that song. I just learned something interesting.

[Furnifur]

Pookie - absolutely the most awesome video. I hope you keep this up long enough for me to have kids and eventually show it to them. Love it. Great job all around.

[Pookieftw]

Thanks hon. If you do have some kids I'll make you a collection of poems just for the occassion!

[dudeanwalker]

Cool poem and animation pookie!

[Pookieftw]

Thanks mate.

[brianrangeley]

Thank goodness I hadn't eaten my breakfast before I watched that!! Thoroughly enjoyed the reading and the illustrations

[Pookieftw]

I put the explosion at the end just for you Brian.

[brianrangeley]

I knew that!

[Pookieftw]

:)

[DONTPULLMEOVER]

Nice, funny poem!

[Pookieftw]

Thanks Dontpullmeover, good to see you out and about.

[Fluttershy]

That was so creative and wonderful! Thank you, so much for the reading and the animation! Great stuff!

[Pookieftw]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. It was your reading that inspired me to do this. So thank you too.

[torpedofish]

YAY!!! = )

[Pookieftw]

Thanks Torpedofish!

[PTinUK]

Oh man... my kid is going to love this one :) Thanks

*mwah*

[Pookieftw]

Good to hear from you PT. I hope he does.

[MattHawes]

Great job! I have been a fan of Shel Silverstein since I first heard him on the Doctor Demento show years and years ago. -- Matt

[Pookieftw]

I was an Early Childhood Teacher for 7 1/2 years. I love reading Silverstein to the kids. There are just some poets who are universal.

[pennilesscripple]

hey i used to teach the little guys too, pookie...that explains why i like you so much! your inner child is alive and well

[Pookieftw]

It was the most rewarding job I have ever had. I wish it had paid more though. I couldn't afford to stay teaching. To this day I still see some of the parents and kids that I worked with and it always brings back the best of memories.

[pennilesscripple]

I feel the same way--I loved that work as well, and yes, it didn't pay. In a way this video is a great extension of that work--I'm looking forward to more! You should publish a poetry dvd for kids...your videos are really nicely done. Lord knows kids these days need all the poetry they can get.

[Pookieftw]

I may consider doing just that... not a bad idea to be sure and there are a lot of great poems and children's stories out there.

[pennilesscripple]

Yes let me know if you want any suggestions! I'm a freak for that kind of stuff.

[Pookieftw]

Sure, if you have suggestions let them rip. It'll give me some good places to start I'm sure. Besides, I think it would be nice to put a collection together. I already plan on doing "The Giving Tree" which is another favorite of mine, also by Shel Silverstein.
