An Elephant Is Sitting in My Bathtub

Dive in! Author, poet, and award-winning songwriter Eric Ode has poured 61 of his all-time favorite poems into the tub. Silly poems, thoughtful poems, and even a few spooky poems. Poems to make you laugh and poems to make you wonder. Poems about camels and koalas, bog beasts and banana slugs, goldfish and geckos. Poems to tickle your imagination and poems to tickle your funny bone.

Cat and Mouse

The mouse, it's said,
finds cats ill-bred.
They make his stomach sicken.
My cat thinks mice
are rather nice
and taste a bit like chicken.
