When Tillie ate the Chili
by
Jack Prelutsky
When
Tillie ate the chili,
she
erupted from her seat,
she
gulped a quart of water,
and
fled screaming down the street,
she
coughed, she wheezed, she sputtered,
and
ran totally amok,
she
set a new world record
as
she raced around the block.
Tillie’s
mouth was full of fire,
Tillie’s
eyes were red with tears,
she
was smoking from her nostrils,
she
was steaming from her ears,
she
cooled off an hour later,
showing
perfect self-control
as
she said, “What tasty chili,
I
should like another bowl.”
Recess!
Oh, Recess!

Recess!
Oh, Recess!
We
love you! You rule!
You
keep us away from the teachers in school.
Your
swings are refreshing.
Your
slides are the best.
You
give us a break from a really hard test.
Recess!
Oh, Recess!
We
want you to know,
you’re
sweeter than syrup,
you’re
special like snow.
You
don’t assign homework.
You
make the day fun.
You
let us play kickball and run in the sun.
Recess!
Oh, Recess!
You’re
first on our list.
We’d
be in despair if you didn’t exist.
We’re
happy to have you.
You’re
awesome and cool.
Recess,
Oh, Recess!
We
love you! You rule!
