15. from “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Hear the sledges with the bells- Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the Heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tinntinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells,- From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

25. The Raven, again!
But the Raven still beguiling my sad face into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door; Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore- What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominious bird of yore Meant in croaking “Nevermore”.

36. The Roller Coaster Loose change and sunglasses, Fasten your seatbelts,
Fly from your pocket.
Swoop round the sharp bend,
Twisting in a loop,
Scream like a Banshee,
Yelling out a whoop!
Sail down the valleys,
Race up the hills,
Nothing else can equal
Roller coaster thrills.
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,
Round the final bend,
Why does every roller coaster
Have…to…have…an…end?
Fasten your seatbelts,
All hands inside,
Everyone aboard for the
Roller coaster ride!
Click-clack, click-clack
Creeping up the hill,
Daredevil laughter,
Ready for the thrill.
S-L-O-W-L-Y, S-L-O-W-L-Y
Cresting to the top,
Hands start to tremble,
Hearts almost stop.
Plunge down the steep slope,
Faster than a rocket,
