I still love these poems after all these years. Who can fail to recall "Lazy Jane" when speaking or hearing about anyone lazy, or when it rains outside?
Or "What a Day" when you are "that kind of day"?
And can you ever use clean the bathroom without thinking of the delightful drawing that accompanied the lines:

"Teddy said it was hat
So I put it on
Now Daddy's saying
"Where the heck has the toilet plunger gone?"

Maybe I am just as silly as the book...
