'''Hockey Puck Headache'''

==Poems==
My [[Oliver Frensky|dad]] took me to a hockey game
'''Buster'''<br />
I got hit in the head by a puck
I yelled out -- OW! My head! Ow!
Call an ambulance!
Ouch! Ow!
Oh, brother, this hurts!
Put ice on it!
It's gonna swell!
I got a big old purple lump on my head
And used it for Show and Tell.


Time for poetry club.<br />

'''Jimmy Goes to the City'''
 
by Arthur Read
My dad took me to a hockey game<br />
I got hit on the head by a puck<br/>
I yelled out &mdash; Ow! My head! Ow!<br />
Call an ambulance! Ouch! Ow!<br />
Oh, brother, this hurts!<br />
Put ice on it!<br />
It's gonna swell!<br />
I got a big old purple lump on my head<br />
And used it for show and tell.<br />
 
 
'''Buster'''<br />
 
These are the things that make me nauseous<br />
Gloopy green gloop that drips from faucets<br />
Blue hair that grows on slices of bread<br />
When your big old dog drools in your bed.<br />
When a dirty sock drops on your face, P.U.<br />
When your friend's baby sister starts to spew<br />
Half a worm in the apple you bit<br />
Finding a human bone in your jello<br />
Blowing nose-slime green and yellow<br />
And people who eat creamed corn with their<br />
mouths open so you can see it.<br />
The end.<br />
 
 
'''Arthur''' ("Jimmy in the City")<br />
 
Jimmy was a happy ape until some hunters caught him<br />
He liked the jungle better than the city where they brought him<br />
 
The city was louder; the city was meaner<br />
Even the dirt in the jungle was cleaner<br />
 
So Jimmy made a daring escape<br />
The hunters were suddenly minus one ape<br />
 
He climbed the tallest building<br />
Because from there he'd see<br />
How far away the jungle was<br />
From the middle of the city<br />
 
Jimmy jumped into a passing plane<br />
But the pilot didn't wait for him to explain<br />
 
Jimmy flew back to the jungle and told his ape<br />
friends in their lair<br />
"The city's okay for a visit,<br />
but you couldn't make me live there."
 
 
'''D.W.'''<br />
 
Wacky, goofy, goony, spoony<br />
Absolutely busalooey
 
'''Arthur'''<br />
 
Hold it! Did you say "busalooey"?<br />
 
'''D.W.'''<br />
 
You're interrupting my poem.<br />
 
'''Arthur'''<br />
 
There's no such word... except in that song!<br />
 
'''D.W.'''<br />
 
You didn't say I couldn't read it. You just said...<br />
 
'''Arthur'''<br />
 
No "[[Crazy Bus]]"!


Jimmy was a happy ape
Until some hunters caught him
He liked the jungle better than
The city where they brought him
The city was louder
The city was meaner
Even the dirt in the jungle was cleaner
So Jimmy made a daring escape!
The hunters were suddenly minus one ape!
He climbed the tallest building
Because from there he'd see
How far away the jungle was
From the middle of the city.
Jimmy jumped into a passing plane
But the pilot didn't wait for him to explain
Jimmy flew back to the jungle
And told his ape friends in their lair
"The city's okay for a visit
But you couldn't make me live there."
