School-wide Poetry Month: Day Twenty (Michael)

I chose "Twaddletalk Tuck" because when I first saw it, I thought it looked really funny because on almost every single line it goes "and I talk and I talk." It's just really funny. I like the picture where the dog has his hands over his ears because the boy talks too much. I think people should read this poem really quickly because there are no periods until the end of the stanza.

Twaddletalk Tuck
I'm Twaddletalk Tuck and I talk and I talk
and I talk when I run and I talk when I walk
and I talk when I hop and I talk when I creep
and I talk when I wake and I talk when I sleep
and I talk when it's wet and I talk when it's dry
and I talk when I laugh and I talk when I cry
and I talk when I jump and I talk when I land
and I talk when I sit and I talk when I stand
and I talk and I talk into anyone's ear
and I talk and I talk when there's nobody near
and I talk when I'm hoarse and my voice is a squawk
for I'm Twaddletalk Tuck and I talk and I talk.
