  4. Smart My dad gave me one dollar bill'Cause I'm his smartest son,And I swapped it for two shiny quarters'Cause two is more than one! And then I took the quartersAnd traded them to LouFor three dimes -- I guess he don't knowThat three is more than two! Just then, along came old blind BatesAnd just 'cause he can't seeHe gave me four nickels for my three dimes,And four is more than three! And I took the nickels to Hiram CoombsDown at the seed-feed store,And the fool gave me five pennies for them,And five is more than four! And then I went and showed my dad,And he got red in the cheeksAnd closed his eyes and shook his head--Too proud of me to speak! - Shel Silverstein

  6. Tonight is the night that all dragonsAwake in their lairs underground,To sing in cacophonous chorusAnd fill the whole world with their sound.They sing of the days of their glory,They sing of their exploits of old,Of maidens and knights, and of fiery fights,And guarding vast caches of gold.Some of their voices are treble,And some of their voices are deep,But all of their voices are thunderous,And no one can get any sleep.I lie in my bed and I listen,Enchanted and filled with delight,To songs I can hear only one night a year --The dragons are singing tonight. The Dragons are singing tonightBy jack Prelutsky
