The following are some of my favourite poems not for their depths but the funny shapes that they take after from the poem's message:
- 'Easter Wings' by George Herbert
HOPPITY
christopher_robin goes
Hoppity, Hoppity,
Hoppity, Hoppity, Hop
Whenever i tell him
Politely to stop it, he
Say's he can't possibly stop.
If he stopped hopping, he couldn't go anywhere,
Poor little Christopher
Couldn't go anywhere...
That's why he always goes
Hoppity, Hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hop.
Hoppity, Hoppity,
Hoppity, Hoppity, Hop
Whenever i tell him
Politely to stop it, he
Say's he can't possibly stop.
If he stopped hopping, he couldn't go anywhere,
Poor little Christopher
Couldn't go anywhere...
That's why he always goes
Hoppity, Hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hop.
- Tigger
FURRY BEAR
If I were a bear,
And a big bear too,
I shouldn't much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn't much mind
If it snowed or friz--
I'd be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!
For i'd have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.
I'd have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws.
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I'd sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.
And a big bear too,
I shouldn't much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn't much mind
If it snowed or friz--
I'd be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!
For i'd have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.
I'd have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws.
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I'd sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.
- Winnie the Pooh
