Bandaids
by Shel Silverstein
I have a Band-Aid on my finger,
One on my knee, and one on my nose,
One on my heel, and two on my shoulders,
Three on my elbow and nine on my toes.
Two on my wrist, and one on my ankle,
One on my chin, and one on my thigh,
Four on my belly, and five on my bottom,
One on my forehead, and one on my eye.
One on my neck, and in case I need em'
I have a box full of thirty-five more.
But oh! I do think that it’s sort of a pity
I don't have a cut or a sore!
How many bandaids did the poet use in this poem?
You can count (1, 2, 3...) You can make tally marks...
you can write down the number each time and add...
and you can draw a bandaid everywhere he had one!
