Poem

There are a lot of poems such as “Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face” and “Willie Ate a Worm Today” that Jack Prelutsky wrote. That’s one of the main reason’s why he’s famous. He’s famous because the Poet Foundation named him the first Children’s Poet Laureate in 2006 ("poets.org," 2011). The poem “Louder Than a Clap of Thunder” is about loud noises such a football teams and a rushing waterfall. The main part of the poem is that there is a little girl who can’t sleep. The reason why the little girl can’t sleep is because her dad is snoring very LOUD.

Poem: Louder than a clap of thunder, Louder than an eagle screams, Louder than a dragon blunders, Or a dozen football teams, Louder than a four-alarmer Or a rushing waterfall, Louder than a knight in armor Jumping from a ten foot wall
 * ”Louder Than a Clap of Thunder”

Louder than an earthquake rumbles, Louder than a tidal wave, Louder than an ogre grumbles As he stumbles through his cave, Louder than a cannon roars, Louder than a giant’s rattle, That’s how loud my father SNORES!
