The Sound Collector:

A stranger called this morning Dressed all in black and grey
Put every sound into a bag And carried them away
The whistling of the kettle The turning of the lock
The purring of the kitten The ticking of the clock

The Dentist and the Crocodile:

He said, ‘Right here and everywhere my teeth require repair.’
The dentist’s face was turning white. He quivered, quaked and shook.
He muttered, ‘I suppose I’m going to have to take a look.’
