Best Shaky Poems

A foreman for the city does reap
Lots of overtime and a city heap
The streets covered with snow
My heap’s heater says “no”
I just long for that thing they call sleep

Students Shaky Sing-A-Long

We used to have the sturdiest of houses, 
standing alone atop the tallest mountain.
There were always earthquakes,
But they did not affect us so high up.
But slowly, the earthquakes started to shrink the mountain,
growing lower and lower to the earth.
The mountain once so tall was no...

A driver named Stan, quite uncouth,
Said, "My cab's a mechanical youth!
Though the brakes are quite weak,
