Litany: Read by a three year old, then Billy Collins.

This is kind of an old video, so apologies if you've seen it before. It's one of my favorite poems, recited by a three-year-old who (by now) has quite a YouTube following. I've also posted a link to Collins reading his own work.

It's incredible to see this kid's interpretation of the poem -- earnest, but also cheeky -- compared with Collins' own interpretation of the piece.

I'll leave it up to you to decide which one is your favorite.

Just thought it was interesting.

I loved them both. The kid is so cute, but Billy's reading is hilarious.

I just watched both of these videos. In English class. Last week.

I loved both, but I'd have to say Billy Collin's reading was the best.
