Have A Try
Hi I am Mary and my cat is Bill
who’s green and fat but never ill
he loves to talk and can’t sit still
and often colors to get his fill
drawing pink penguins and orange
dolphins of each both had a million
cousins I said
“who could imagine that…such a funny cat!”
“but it’s easy,” Bill replied without fear
“all you need is hold what’s dear”
so don’t be shy do have a try
you owe yourself to reach the sky
but if you think that can’t be done
don’t be...

Completely New
It’s usually said
sometime with dread
when excited there’s no head
and that’s very true
the brain often flew
wanting something new
can’t stay still very long
I’m up and quickly gone
feeling wonderfully strong
I’m a child of eight
who wont stop even at a gate
for this is going to be GREAT!!
and should you be able to stay
lots of fun coming our way
playing the whole long day
be much more fun with you
cus then we’ll be two
discovering something together
completely...

Come snd See
I don’t know about you
but I love the kazoo
you can play any note
even while rowing a boat
the kazoo will set you free
just simply come and see
it’s easy as can be
takes only a little time
any note is really fine
I’ve had mine since
I was 9 so take it from
me cus now I’m now 103!
so if you’re feeling down
there’s no need to frown
it’s all what I said
very true so come on
try the kazoo!!
Moral: music can be fun and educational
but I love the kazoo
you can play any note
even while rowing a boat
the kazoo will set you free
just simply come and see
it’s easy as can be
takes only a little time
any note is really fine
I’ve had mine since
I was 9 so take it from
me cus now I’m now 103!
so if you’re feeling down
there’s no need to frown
it’s all what I said
very true so come on
try the kazoo!!

Clever Tara
Our dog ran away what could I say
as she pulls on my hand
simply wouldn’t stay
was gone in a flash
where the leash from behind
bounced with a crash
I chased wildly behind
without any gain
as the poor thing ran going insane
the clamor the clacking
making such a roar
all the neighbors tore from
their front door
“what’s this my goodness?!”
they all yelled
“I’ve lost my dog!” replied as I nearly fell
“it’s 6 in the morning THIS is just swell!!”
they screamed
“so sorry but please don’t be mean” ...

Burnt Bread
There was a strange prince from Sinclare
who lived a life without care
once said “I’ll eat burnt bread”
for the town folk cried with despair
“you wouldn’t dare!”
“oh but I would”
“burn through your head” they replied
“you’ll soon be dead!”
“not in the least I’m from the northeast”the folk did stare then roared
“YOU’RE NO MAN BUT BEAST!”
and ate in one gulp
the burnt bread to that all yelped
“HELP HELP HELP HELP!!”
“why you’re such a crowd for beware waste food a crime it is so learn from me and take care for I’m the...

Blue Cow Delight
How could it be a cow blue as the sky
if it had wings I’m sure it would fly
and what of its milk they said chocolate was
served only on full moon simply because
the taste so delicate went straight to the head
with special powers even turning grass red
but of blue cows and moons
both can’t be found soon
takes a special kind of eye
in the right type of sky
so think carefully what I just said
less chocolate milk under full night sky
is your delight
Moral: don’t limit your imagination
if it had wings I’m sure it would fly
and what of its milk they said chocolate was
served only on full moon simply because

100 Feet Tall
Walking home from school instead
of turning left I turned right
before me stood such a sight
all blue and green it stood 100 feet tall
though not the least bit mean
I’m sure of this his smiled so bright
brought a warmth to my heavy heart
because today in class I had to start
reading how we’re hurting our
mother the good Mother Earth
with fires that burn from all our
trash we’re the least bit concern
or water we can’t drink
and made to only think
it’s much better by far
having a big house...

A Good Book
No matter how hard I try
there’s always nights of
which can never be said
is slept without having
raised from a most
comfortable bed
searching for something
to help me sleep
when mother said
“it’s all in your head!”
so I tried just that
even went to
the library
and read
and read
cus a good book will do that
help me relax
so there every day
I’d find a corner and sat
going through
stories of castles and queens
of lost children and giants
even scary dreams

Big Package For Little Dink
It can’t be said cus I’ve lost my head
forgotten more than we’ll ever know
when the big package arrived for Little Dink
simply wasn’t enough time to even think
wrapped in yellow gold with bright purple bow
looked more than 173 years old
for I knew it must be as today’s
the day of Little Dink’s birthday
so there we all sat along the floor
full of presents galore
counted more than a whopping 104!
and right in the middle an

Best Friends
A best friend is always there
one who truly cares
help you when you’re feeling down
make you laugh remove that frown
give support cus you can’t play sports
show the way from a tiring day
a best friend is ready helping steady
to that very end
on to the next they will surely send me
even if it offends me
looking out when I can’t decide
whether to stand or to hide
not get me lazy when I scream
“The world is crazy!”
and want to stop trying
hold me when I’m crying
for in their eyes it shows
