And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss

"All the long way to school
And all the way back
I've looked and I've looked
And I've kept careful track
But all that I've noticed
Except my own feet
Was a horse and a wagon
On Mulberry Street."
Poor Marco... his father wants him to pay attention to the wonderful things in the world around him. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything that Marco saw that he thinks is "good enough" to tell his father about. So, his mind wanders, and he thinks of the tallest of tall tales that he can tell to impress his father. (Of course, in the end, being a good boy, he can't bring himself to lie to his dad!)
