Funny poem

So I'm trying to memorize this poem to use for my storytelling class (I have to tell 2-3 stories (I'm using a poem as well as 2 stories) for children, 2 stories for teens, and 2 stories for adults). I just thought I'd share this funny poem with all of you!

Be Glad Your Nose Is On Your Face by Jack Prelutsky

Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.

Imagine if your precious nose,
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.

Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.

Within your ear your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze
your brain would rattle from the breeze.

Your nose instead through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
Not pasted on some other place--
be glad your nose is on your face!

Chicago!

So I went to Chicago for 4 days a couple of weeks ago. It was so nice to get out of Provo and go on vacation! I went with 2 of my co-workers and ignored homework (for the most part) and loved it!

We did tons of stuff, but here are the highlights with pictures.

We arrived at the top of the Sears Tower at sunset. Beautiful!

President Obama was in town!

We went to the Art Institute of Chicago twice (it was free February!) We saw some awesome artwork.



The bean sculpture (aka Cloud Gate) in Millennium Park.
We went on a walking historic skyscraper tour. It was really interesting.

The Chicago Theater.

The skyline from Navy Pier.

We rode the public transit (elevated trains and subways), went to Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio, the Chicago History Museum, and lots of yummy restaurants.

We had a great time!

Remind me to tell you the story of how we almost missed our plane back to SLC.

Love is in the Air....

or can be if you go to this site. I found this while doing homework the other morning. It made me laugh!

I didn't know Google offered that service! Also don't miss the tour, it's amazing!
