Pop! Pop! Poppetty-Pop!

Shake and rattle and rattle and shake

The golden grains as they bounce and break

To fluffy puffiness- Poppety Pop!

Bursting and banging the popper's top!

Poppety-Pop!

Pop! Pop!

The yellow kernels, oh, see them grow

White as cotton or flakes of snow!

Pop! Pop!

O-ho, how they frolic and fly about

And turn themselves suddenly inside out!

Pop-Pop-Poppety! Pop-Pop-Pop!

The popper's full and we'll have to stop;

Pile the bowl with the tempting treat,

Children, come, it's time to eat!

Father William

from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

by Lewis Carroll


"You are old, Father William," the young man said,

"And your hair has become very white;

And yet you increasingly stand on your head-

Do you think, at your age, it is right?"


"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,

"I feared it might injure the brain;

But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,

Why, I do it again and again."


"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,

And have grown most uncommonly fat;

Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door-

Pray, what is the reason of that?"


"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,

"I kept all my limbs very supple

By the use of this ointment-one shilling the box-

Allow me to see you a couple?"


"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak

For anything tougher than suet;

Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak-

Pray how did you manage to do it?"


"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,

And argued each case with my wife;

And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,

Has lasted the rest of my life."


"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose

That your eye was as steady as ever;

Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose-

What made you so awfully cheer?"


"I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"

Said his father; "don't give yourself airs!

Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?

Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!"


Which best describes the theme of the poem?

Older people should act their age.

Younger people should respect their elders.

Older people should teach younger people.

Younger people should learn from older people.
