• A side note...

  I should have mentioned that the poem previously posted is NOT one of my children's poems. That was just a crazy funny one. Here is two examples of my kid's poetry:
  
  

  I had a day old sandwich sitting on my shelf

  but now it is gone

  It couldnt have grown legs and walked away

  from the shelf it was upon.

   

  Could aliens have landed here

  looking for a snack?

  And transported themselves to my room

  Ate my sandwich then zapped themselves back?

   

  Maybe a very large team of ants

  charged into my room

  they smelled the aroma of day old bread,

  then took it to their house for all the ants to consume!

   

  Where did it go?

  Where could it be?

  Oh now I remember, I got hungry last night so!

  It's inside of me!!

  And one more:

  
  

  ·         I found a little lizard

  on the ground behind the shed.

  I was going to let him run away

  but took him home instead.

  He was green with tiny spots

  from his tail to his head

  I got a box, punched holes in the top

  and made him a little bed.

  Food and water, that's what he needs

  Gotta make sure he's well fed

  I don't know what lizards eat

  but I'm sure he won't mind bread.

  My sister smiled a little smile

  then looked at me and said

  Lizards don't eat our kinds of food

  they like bugs, they like them live or dead.

  Catching bugs? Crickets and moths?

  That is something I do dread!

  So I took the lizard back out side

  and waved good bye to Fred.
