A Potato Has Eyes

A poem for kids.

A potato has eyes, but cannot see. A stool has a leg, but not a knee. A river can run, but does not walk. A clock has a face, but does not talk. A comb has teeth, but cannot chew. A nail has a head, but no hairdo. A guitar has a neck, but does not swallow, A chair has an arm, but does not free throw. A napkin likes food, but cannot eat. A pitcher has a beak, but cannot tweet. A shoe has a tongue, but cannot taste. A pin has a head, but not a face. You have two eyes, so you can see. Can you read every one of these?

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
