THE CUPBOARD, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I know a little cupboard Last Line: For me, me, me. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter Subject(s): Cupboards; Food & Eating | |||
I know a little cupboard, With a teeny tiny key, And there's a jar of Lollipops For me, me, me. It has a little shelf, my dear, As dark as dark can be, And there's a dish of Banbury Cakes For me, me, me. I have a small fat grandmamma, With a very slippery knee, And she's Keeper of the Cupboard, With the key, key, key. And when I'm very good, my dear, As good as good can be, There's Banbury Cakes, and Lollipops For me, me, me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAITRESSING IN THE ROOM WITH A THOUSAND MOONS by MATTHEA HARVEY CANDIED YAMS' by TERRANCE HAYES DINNER OF HERBS by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN THE BANQUET SONG by KENNETH KOCH SPLITTING AN ORDER by TED KOOSER ALL THAT'S PAST by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
