Runny Babbit

Shel Silverstein has a new book out- he completed writing it before he died in 1999. it’s called Runny Babbit and it’s wonderful. Several of the first letters of words are switched (i.e. Runny Babbit=Bunny Rabbit) and it’s just hilarious. The boys and I have been reading it the last few days and there are quiet a few tongue twisters in there. So far- this is my favorite one:

RUNNY’S HAND-NEW BRAT

Runny got a present-
A lovely hurple pat.
He put it on and pasked his als,
“what do you think of that?”
One said, “Ooh, it’s storrible!”
One said, “Yuck-it hinks!”
Now Runny Babbit never asks
What other theople pink.
