Lois Shelton mentioned that I've
been writing or trying to write

00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:09.720 align:middle line:90%
a lot of verse for children.

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:15.900 align:middle line:84%
And I thought at this
point lest the program

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:20.340 align:middle line:84%
get too heavy, I'd just throw
in a few very brief samples

00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:22.305 align:middle line:90%
of that, just for kicks.

00:00:22.305 --> 00:00:26.010 align:middle line:90%


00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:31.210 align:middle line:84%
Some of these poems are
very trivial like this one,

00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:35.370 align:middle line:84%
which is hardly more than an
attempt to get a rhythm going.

00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:39.090 align:middle line:90%


00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:43.440 align:middle line:84%
Snowflakes Souffle, it's
an imaginary recipe.

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:45.360 align:middle line:90%
This goes like this.

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.070 align:middle line:84%
Snowflake souffle,
Snowflake souffle

00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:55.710 align:middle line:84%
makes a lip smacking
lunch on an ice cold day.

00:00:55.710 --> 00:01:00.480 align:middle line:84%
You take seven snowflakes,
you break seven eggs,

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:07.440 align:middle line:84%
and you stir it seven times
with your two hind legs,

00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:11.160 align:middle line:84%
bake it in an igloo,
throw it on a plate,

00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:15.465 align:middle line:84%
and you slice off a slice
with a rusty ice skate.

00:01:15.465 --> 00:01:20.270 align:middle line:90%


00:01:20.270 --> 00:01:23.970 align:middle line:84%
See what, it's nice if
you're an old curmudgeon type

00:01:23.970 --> 00:01:31.320 align:middle line:84%
poet like me that likes old
fangled modes like rhyme

00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:35.250 align:middle line:84%
and meter, but you
can write for kids

00:01:35.250 --> 00:01:39.250 align:middle line:84%
and they don't hold it
against you you know.

00:01:39.250 --> 00:01:40.800 align:middle line:90%
Oh.

00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:44.255 align:middle line:90%
