There Once Was a Giant Who Swallowed an 'E'
by Pepper Basham
copyright 03-31-2003


Age Rating: 4 to 15

 
There once was a giant who swallowed an “E”.
A capital “E”, it’s hard to believe.
And he was still hungry.

There once was a giant who swallowed a pen.
I’m not quite sure when he swallowed the pen.
He swallowed the pen to write an “E”.
It’s hard to believe he swallowed an “E”.
And he was still hungry.

There once was a giant who swallowed some paper.
With no restaurant or waiter, he swallowed some paper.
He swallowed the paper to go with the pen.
He swallowed the pen to write an “E”.
It’s hard to believe he swallowed an “E”.
And he was still hungry.

There once was a giant who swallowed a book.
Just take a good look. He swallowed a book.
He swallowed the book to hold all the paper.
He swallowed the paper to go with the pen.
He swallowed the pen to write an “E”.
It’s hard to believe he swallowed an “E”.
And he was still hungry.

There once was giant who swallowed a pack.
A purple backpack, it went just like a snack.
He swallowed the pack to carry the book.
He swallowed the book to hold all the paper.
He swallowed the paper to go with the pen.
He swallowed the pen to write an “E”.
It’s hard to believe he swallowed an “E”.
And he was still hungry.

There once was a giant who swallowed a child.
It was really too wild to swallow a child.
He swallowed the child to wear the pack.
He swallowed the pack to carry the book.
He swallowed the book to hold all the paper.
He swallowed the paper to go with the pen.
He swallowed the pen to write an “E”.
It’s hard to believe he swallowed an “E”.
And he was still hungry.

There once was a giant who swallowed Ms. Sue.
The teacher, it’s true. He swallowed Ms. Sue.
He swallowed the teacher to teach the child.
He swallowed the child to wear the pack.
He swallowed the pack to carry the book.
He swallowed the book to hold all the paper.
He swallowed the paper to go with the pen.
He swallowed the pen to write an “E”.
It’s hard to believe he swallowed an “E”.
And he was still hungry.

There once was a giant who swallowed a room
The principal fumed, “He swallowed the room.”
He swallowed the room to hold the teacher.
He swallowed the teacher to teach the child.
He swallowed a child to wear the pack.
He swallowed the pack to carry the book.
He swallowed the book to hold all the paper.
He swallowed the paper to go with the pen.
He swallowed the pen to write an “E”.
It’s hard to believe he swallowed an “E”.
And he was still hungry.

There once was a giant who swallowed a school.
He broke every rule when he swallowed the school.
But then he was full.
