小孩学汉语时，总会学大量的古诗。但是，当小孩学英语时，却难得读一些英文诗歌。想到此处，我便上网找了一些为儿童写的诗歌。随心阅读，其中两首，余为之莞尔，在此分享，博君一笑。

Sick 这首诗非常有意思，也值得细细阅读。其一，可以熟悉日常生活中常见疾病的英语单词；其二，里面的句型实在好用。

PS, 查询疾病英文单词的时候，千万千万不要搜索图片！查查字典就好了。

Sick

Shel Silverstein, 1930 - 1999

"I cannot go to school today,"

Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

"I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,

I'm going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I've counted sixteen chicken pox

And there's one more—that's seventeen,

And don't you think my face looks green?

My leg is cut—my eyes are blue—

It might be instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I'm sure that my left leg is broke—

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button's caving in,

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,

My 'pendix pains each time it rains.

My nose is cold, my toes are numb.

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,

My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There is a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is—what?

What's that? What's that you say?

You say today is. . .Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

无论是东方还是西方，老师都显得有一点非人。所谓非人，是指老师形象被神圣化，道德化，结果不能做人了。可是，老师也是人，也有血有肉，必须是正常的人类。既然是正常的人类，就会放臭屁。

Today The Teacher Farted

By Emma Briody

It was an awful smell.

It was just like a rotting egg,

Straight from the depths of hell!

She tried to keep it secret

By sitting in a group.

But it was really obvious,

When she said, "Who did that poop?"

She screwed her bright, red face up

And blamed it all on Claire.

But later when I needed help,

The stench was round her chair!

She avoided my eye contact

And ticked my work in green.

But she knew that her body smells

Were foul and quite obscene.

I asked her what that smell was.

She said she'd not a clue.

I hope to God that eggy smell

Was fart and not a poo!

Today the teacher farted.

My word, what had she ate?

I'll always remember what she did,

And now I'm thirty eight!
