"This is the ball that was hit with a whack! And soared through the pane with a smashity-smack! Near the room where they munched And-Eek! There’s that hamster that spins in a wheel!
These are the raindrops that – plop! – drizzled down, Soaking their heads and making them frown After – whack! – the ball soared Near the room where they munched And – Eek! There’s that hamster that spins in a wheel!
This is the bad bee that buzzed through the crack, Then zoomed round the room in a stinging attack As the raindrops fell – plop! After – whack! – the ball soared Near the room where they munched And – Eek! There’s that hamster that spins in a wheel!"
"Over the years, when I grew tired of watching, I often sat in the back of the trains that went in and out of Suburban Station in Philadelphia. Passengers would get on and off as I listened to their conversations mix with the sounds of the train doors opening and closing, the conductors yelling their stops, and the shuffle and staccato of shoe soles and high heels going from pavement to metal to the soft thump thump on the carpeted train aisles." ( Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, page 246)
"Chh. It always began with a solitary chuffing, a sudden explosive snort as if a night beast rising in the distance down in Conshohocken maybe, had cleared its snout...Chh...It seemed to enter my night room from below...Chh. Then the furious flurry. Chhchhchhchh..." Jerry Spinelli, Knots in My Yo-Yo String, pg 57

"This is the ball that was hit with a whack!
And soared through the pane with a smashity-smack!
Near the room where they munched
And-Eek! There’s that hamster that spins in a wheel!
These are the raindrops that – plop! – drizzled down,
Soaking their heads and making them frown
After – whack! – the ball soared
Near the room where they munched
And – Eek! There’s that hamster that spins in a wheel!
This is the bad bee that buzzed through the crack,
Then zoomed round the room in a stinging attack
As the raindrops fell – plop!
After – whack! – the ball soared
Near the room where they munched
And – Eek! There’s that hamster that spins in a wheel!"
