First Grade Poetry Night

All the kids in Miles's class read a poem (of their own choice) tonight.  Here is Miles reciting "Spaghetti" by Shel Silverstein:


I missed the first few seconds, in which is says, "Hi, my name is Miles and the title of my poem is Spaghetti."

Here are the words:

Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place,
Up to my elbows -- up to my face, 
Over the carpet and under the chairs, 
Into the hammock and wound round the stairs, 
Filling the bathtub and covering the desk, 
Making the sofa a mad, mushy mess.
The party is ruined, I'm terribly worried,
The guests have all left (unless they're all buried).
I told them, "Bring presents." I said, "Throw confetti."
I guess they heard wrong
'Cause they all threw spaghetti!
