I Named My Dogs the Strangest Names
I named my dogs the strangest names,
not simply "Spot" or "Rover."
Instead I named them "Fetch" and "Stay"
and "Here Boy" and "Roll Over."

Not "Lassie," "Patch," or "Fido."
No, instead they're "Shake" and "Crawl"
and "Turn Around" and "Take a Bow"
and "Come" and "Wave" and "Ball!"

I gave them these abnormal names
to see what they would do.
I thought it would be fun but,
sad to say, that isn't true.

And now I'm sort of sorry for the
crazy names I used.
My dogs cannot do any tricks;
they're all just too confused.
--Kenn Nesbitt

POEMARIO CHARLES DICKENS

Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Dickens enjoyed a wider popularity and fame than had any previous author during his lifetime, and he remains popular, having been responsible for some of English literature's most iconic novels and characters.

THE SONG OF THE WRECKby: Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

The wind blew high, the waters raved,

A ship drove on the land,
A hundred human creatures saved
Kneel'd down upon the sand.
Threescore were drown'd, threescore were thrown
Upon the black rocks wild,
And thus among them, left alone,
They found one helpless child.
A seaman rough, to shipwreck bred,
Stood out from all the rest,
And gently laid the lonely head Upon his honest breast.
And travelling o'er the desert wide
It was a solemn joy, To see them, ever side by side,
The sailor and the boy.
In famine, sickness, hunger, thirst,
The two were still but one,
Until the strong man droop'd the first
And felt his labors done.
Then to a trusty friend he spake,
"Across the desert wide,
Oh, take this poor boy for my sake!"
And kiss'd the child and died.
