8th Grade Inference-Poetry“Almost Perfect” by Shel Siverstein“Almost perfect…but not quite.”Those were the words of Mary HumeAt her seventh birthday party,Looking ‘round the ribboned room.
“Squeezes me a bit too tight-
Almost perfect…but not quite.
“They never cross their t’s just right-
Almost perfect…but not quite.”Ninety-eight the day she diedComplainin’ bout the spotless floor.
Another voice from heaven came-
“Almost perfect…but not quite.”
