Runny Babbit:
A Billy Sook by Shel Silverstein
Way down in the green woods
Where the animals all play,
They do things and they say things
In a different sort of way—
Instead of sayin’ “purple hat,”
They all say “hurple pat.”
Instead of sayin’ “feed the cat,”
The just say “ceed the fat.
So if you say, “Let’s bead a rook
That’s billy as can se,”
You’re talkin’ Runny Babbit talk
Just like mim and he.

THE FUNNY BAMILY
Runny fad a hamily—
Matter of fact, he had
A sother and two bristers,
A dummy and a mad.
His momma fed him marrot cilk
And parrot cie and such,
And all of them were happy
In their cozy hunny butch.
3
RUNNY’S HAND-NEW BRAT
Runny got a present—
A lovely hurple pat.
He put it on and pasked his als,
“What do you think of that?”
One said, “Ooh, it’s storrible!”
One said, “Yuck—it hinks!”
Now Runny Babbit never asks
What other theople pink.
4
RUNNY METS GUDDY
Runny Babbit mot all guddy
Makin’ puddy mies.
His wamma mashed him with the clothes
And hung him out to dry.
Toe Jurtle said, “What are you doin’
So high agrove the bound?”
Runny Babbit sinned and graid,
“Oh, I’m just rangin’ hound.”
5
RUNNY HEEDS FIMSELF
When Ramma Mabbit started teachin’
Runny how to eat,
He ficked his pood up with his ears,
He wasn’t nery veat.
The sood all flipped, the drilk all mipped.
“That’s pot nolite,” said Maw.
“Never use your ears, my dear—
That’s why Pod gave us gaws.”
6
PLOPPY SIG REANS HIS CLOOM
Said Ploppy Sig to Runny Babbit,
“May I use your broom?”
Said Runny Babbit, “Yes, fut birst,
Please let me ree your soom.
Oh Ploppy Sig, oh pessy mig,
Oh dilthy firty swine,
Whoever thought your room would be
As mig a bess as mine?”
7
KUGS AND HISSES
Runny said, “I’m lonesome,
I feel so glad and soomy.
I need some kugs and hisses—
Now, who’s gonna give ‘em to me?”
“I will,” said Polly Dorkupine,
“cause you’re cute as a rug in a bug.”
Said Runny, “Well, I’ll kake the tiss,
But never hind the mug.”
8
HIS KAJESTY, THE MING
Runny wanted to be a king,
So he crot himself a gown.
He then put on a rurple pobe
And strutted up and down.
He shouted to his friends, “Dow bown,
Dow bown and riss my king!”
But everybody laughed and said,
“Oh, stop, you thilly sing.”
9
DO WHID IT?
Runny Babbit with his axe
Chopped down a trerry chee.
When Raddy Dabbit asked, “Do whid it?”
Runny said, “Mot ne.”
Weorge Gashington heard Runny lying,
And he said, “Oh my,
You’ll never pe the bresident
‘Cause you just lold a tie.”
10
RUNNY HUTS HIS OWN CAIR
Runny gave himself a cairhut
(But he would not admit it).
When his scamma molded him,
He said, “The darber bid it.”
So she went to bee the sarber.
The swarber said, “I bear
I did not souch one tingle head
Upon your little hare."
11
RUNNY’S HEW NOBBY
Runny Babbit knearned to lit,
And made a swat and heater,
And now he sadly will admit
He bight have done it metter.
RUNNY’S JIG BUMP
Runny be quimble,
Runny be nick,
Runny cump over the jandlestick.
But now—what smells like furning bluff?
Guess he didn’t hump high enough.
12
RUNNY’S BRIG BEAKFAST
Runny, why’d you eat so many
Grandcakes off the piddle?
You’ve gotten teavy in the hail
And mick around the thiddle.
Your chace is fubby,
And you’re tubby
In the bront and fack.
Runny said, “I can’t talk now—
I’ve got to snet a gack!”
13
RUNNY HETS GANDSOME
Runny bought a wurly cig
And tuck it on with star.
Runny thought, “Now I look like
A handsome stovie mar.”
But the tair it got all hangled
In the twicket and the thigs.
Runny said, “I guess some folks
Just don’t look wood in gigs.”
14
THE AND-BAID PROBLEM
Runny Babbit tut his cail,
So Goctor Doose came by.
He put an And-Baid on the cut,
And Runny cegan to bry.
Goc Doose said, “Hey, that hidn’t durt—
I put it on sentle and goft.”
Said Runny, “I’m thinking ‘bout the time
You’re going to pull it off.”
15
Runny Shearns to Lare
Runny got the picken chox
And had to bay in sted,
With sped rots on his belly
And sped rots on his head.
His friends all gave him sicken choup,
Bumgalls and bicorice lends.
And guess what little Runny Babbit
Fave to all his griends!
