  • The New Kid on the Block: Poems

    Jack Prelutsky, James Stevenson

    Paperback (Scholastic Paperbacks, Jan. 1, 1989)
    I'd rather take baths with a man-eating shark, or wrestle a lion alone in the dark, eat spinach and liver, pet ten porcupines, than tackle the homework my teacher assigns. Jellyfish stew, I'm loony for you, I dearly adore you, oh, truly I do, you're creepy to see, revolting to chew, you slide down inside with a hullabaloo.
