Read these poems to my little boy almost forty years ago and they're still just as lively today.
"Inside everybody's nose, there lives a sharp-toothed snail.
So if you stick your finger in, he may bite off your nail.
Stick it farther up inside, and he may bite your ring off.
Stick it all the way, and he
May bite the whole darn thing off!" Shel Silverstein
Indulge the children in a little bit of silly.
