ALLIGATOR PIE VIA POETRY ONLINE
Dennis Lee
From: Alligator Pie. Toronto: Macmillan, 1974.
Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die.
Give away the green grass, give away the sky,
But don't give away my alligator pie.
Alligator stew, alligator stew,
If I don't get some I don't know what I'll do.
Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe,
But don't give away my alligator stew.
Alligator soup, alligator soup,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna droop.
Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop,
But don't give away my alligator soup.
Evaluation: If I don't get some Dennis Lee, "I don't know what I'm gonna do..."!! There is absolutely nothing I don't LOVE about this book. It's become a new read aloud staple in my monthly family literacy workshop and it makes us all giggle every time!
