Two Too Many To's
There are two too many two/too/to's.
That’s two too many two/too/to's to choose.
Webster made them just to confuse.
Two two/too/to's it’s time to lose.
Tootle-loo.

Chefs of Pennsylvania

The chefs of Pennsylvania,
And their pencil-shaving cuisine.
Perfection say the critics.
Best food they’ve ever seen.

They bake pencil-shaving pizza,
And pencil shaving pie.
They’ll make pencil shaving meat balls,
And pencil shaving stir-fry.

Try pencil-shaving doughnuts,
Or pencil shavings and cheese,
A pencil-shaving omelet,
Drink pencil shaving teas.

Next time you sharpen pencils,
Take the holder off the hook,
Send the shavings to Pennsylvania.
For a Pennsylvania cook.

Meet Blanco, the Last Lighthouse Giant

Ages ago, giants arrived on the coastlines of the world. They built tall round houses on the dark headlands. From the high windows the lighthouse giants shone bright lanterns out to sea to guide ships safely past their homes.
Blanco is the last of the lighthouse giants. From sunset to sunrise he shines his fish-oil lantern from his house on Cape Humbug, to aid steamer ships along the Oregon coast.
Jenny Hughes, age ten, is Blanco’s friend. Jenny lives with her father, Jacob, on the Hughes Dairy Ranch below Cape Humbug. Each day Jenny and her father bring Blanco a kettle of clam chowder for his daily meal. Jenny teaches Blanco reading and writing. In turn, the lighthouse giant teaches Jenny, who wishes to become a marine scientist, the ways of the ocean and its creatures.
Blanco’s job is threatened when a conman arrives in Port Beaver, hoping to replace the giant with a first-order Fresnel lens and modern machinery. Can Jenny help save the giant’s lighthouse job? A tough task considering the entire town is against her.

That's the motto of the three bedbugs who live in Irene's four-poster bed.
