Two poems by T. W. Fuller. Save money by purchasing both poems together! The first is "The Boy And The Rock": Set in the rhythmic style and tone of a Shel Silverstein story, "The Boy And The Rock" is a poetic lesson in stubbornness taken to an exaggerated extreme. Starting out with a young boy venturing from point "A" to point "B", he suddenly encounters a rather large rock that will not move out of his way so he can move along his journey. Neither the boy, nor the rock, will move out of the others way, creating a stale-mate that will last for many years as the young boy grows older, and grows more stubborn and more determined to stand his ground. And the rock, as well, in its own stubbornness, is weathered down over that long stretch of time, to the size of a pebble."The Boy And The Rock" teaches children how foolish being stubborn really is and how being stubborn for a very long time literally wastes and whittles away one's life to the point of nothingness. At the end, the reader is left with an important question to answer and an even more important decision to make. Namely - what is actually gained in being so stubborn? And, has it been worth the time involved to be so stubborn?The second poem is "I Sat On An Ice Cream Sandwich": Everyone makes mistakes. But not everyone owns up TO those mistakes. "I Sat On An Ice Cream Sandwich" delves into the inner conscience of one girl as she struggles to find the courage to own up to a mistake she absentmindedly made which caused another girl to suffer humiliation and embarrassment. Will either girl find a happy ending to this sticky situation?
