Selección propia de poemas leídos por una de nuestras Language Assistants para el International Book Day 2020
Hello! My name is Dana, and I'm going to be reading some poems from Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein.
00:00:01
Shel Silverstein was really famous in the U.S. for his poems and his children's books and his cartoons.
00:00:11
So the first poem I will read today is called One Inch Tall.
00:00:19
If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.
00:00:26
The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool.
00:00:32
A crumb of cake would be a feast and last you seven days at least.
00:00:37
A flea would be a frightening beast if you were one inch tall.
00:00:44
If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,
00:00:50
and it would take about a month to get down to the store.
00:00:55
A bit of fluff would be your bed. You'd swing upon a spider's thread and wear a thimble on your head
00:00:58
if you were one inch tall. You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum. You couldn't
00:01:08
hug your mama. You just have to hug her thumb. You'd run from people's feet in fright. To move
00:01:19
a pen would take all night? This poem took 14 years to write because I'm just one inch tall.
00:01:27
Okay, and our next poem is called Snowman. T'was the first day of springtime, and the snowman
00:01:37
stood alone. As the winter snows were melting, and the pine trees seemed to groan. Ah, you poor
00:01:47
sad smiling snowman you'll be melting by and by said the snowman what a pity for I'd like to see
00:01:55
July yes I'd like to see July and please don't ask me why but I'd like to yes I'd like to oh I'd like
00:02:04
to see July chirped a robin just arriving seasons come and seasons go and the greatest ice must
00:02:13
crumble when it's flowers time to grow and as one thing is beginning so another thing must die
00:02:23
and there's never been a snowman who has ever seen july no they never see july no matter how they try
00:02:30
no they never ever never ever never see july but the snowman sniffed his carrot nose and said at
00:02:40
least I'll try. And he bravely smiled his frosty smile and blinked his coal black eye. And there
00:02:50
he stood and faced the sun, a-blazin' from the sky. And I really cannot tell you if he ever saw July.
00:02:59
Did he ever see July? You can guess as well as I. If he ever, if he never, if he ever saw July.
00:03:09
Okay, and then our last poem is called Spaghetti. Spaghetti, spaghetti all over the place,
00:03:19
up to my elbows and up to my face, over the carpet and under the chairs, into the hammock
00:03:31
and wound round the stairs, filling the bathtub and covering the desk, making the sofa a mad
00:03:39
mushy mess. The party is ruined. I'm terribly worried. The guests have all left unless they're
00:03:47
all buried. I told them bring presents. I said throw confetti. I guess they heard wrong because
00:03:56
they all threw spaghetti. Okay thanks everyone and happy International Book Day.
