"Today is Very Boring"

Nonsense verse can be a lot of fun!


from “Today is Very Boring”
     by Jack Prelutsky (1940 - )

Today is very boring,
it is boring through and through,
there is absolutely nothing
that I think I want to do,
I see giants riding rhinos,
and an ogre with a sword,
there’s a dragon blowing smoke rings,
I am positively bored.




Jack Prelutsky has written many poetry books full of nonsense verse. 
 Have you read any of them? 
Do you have a favorite?
