My Name Is...

In honor of my sister's 21st birthday on Sunday: our favorite poem from when we were little.  We would sit in our room at night and read and re-read this poem and giggle for hours... or until our mom would come up and yell at us for not being asleep.

MY NAME IS…

My name is Sluggery-wuggery

My name is Worms-for-tea

My name is Swallow-the-table-leg

My name is Drink-the-sea

My name is I-eat-saucepans

My name is I-like-snails

My name is Grand-piano-George

My name is I-ride-whales

My name is Jump-the-chimney

MY name is Bite-my-knee

My name is Jiggery-pokery

And Riddle-me-ree,

and ME.
