Who loves Poetry out there?

Does anyone know a good website to listen and read translations of Russian children's poetry? I'd like to recite a short poem for class, but I can't find any sites specifically for children. Anyone have any suggestions for a good short poem that I could recite?

Find a copy of "Telefon". It's hysterical and has a ton of stanzas, so you don't have to memorize all of them.

It's about animals. Sort of.

aw, it's not really for kids, just for fun in class to memorize a short poem to practice pronunciation, thanks so much for your links!
