I still love these poems after all these years. Who can fail to recall "Lazy Jane" when speaking or hearing about anyone lazy, or when it rains outside?
Or "What a Day" when you are "that kind of day"?

Now Daddy's saying
"Where the heck has the toilet plunger gone?"

Maybe I am just as silly as the book...
