this peom is probably one of my favorites! my grandma and grandpa used to read me a poem from this author's books every night that I stayed at their house. the only change I would make in the poem is I would change the grandma to grandpa cause I am not fond of my grandma very much cause she divorced my grandpa when he turned 79 and left him when he was his weakest but he is stronger then he ever was now at 86 years old and I love him!
Super Sampson Simpson by Jack Prelutsky
I am Super Samson Simpson,
I'm superlatively strong,
I like to carry elephants,
I do it all day long,
I pick up half a dozen
and hoist them in the air,
it's really somewhat simple,
for I have strength to spare.
My muscles are enormous,
they bulge from top to toe,
and when I carry elephants,
they ripple to and fro,
but I am not the strongest
in the Simpson family,
for when I carry elephants,
my grandma carries me.
