Plink, plink!

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Plink, plink, plink, plink
Water drips into the sink
It’s hard for me to think and think
With water dripping, plink, plink.

Drip, drip, drip, drip
I’m going crazy, I’m going to flip
Into a sleep I’ll never slip
With that water going drip.

Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop
The waters filled the sink like soup
From this night I won’t recoup
With water dripping bloop, bloop.

Tigers and Monkeys Took Over My Room

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Tigers and monkeys took over my room,
Just when mommy had given me the broom,
To clean up the mess all over my floor,
That got so deep, she couldn’t open my door.

Elephants and giraffes got in my way,
And stopped me from cleaning so I could play,
I tried to say no but what could I do,
When into my room marched the whole zoo.

Iguanas and eagles fought at my feet,
I had work to do but they wanted to eat,
So I said, “Enough, enough! Get out of my room!”
“My mother will kill me if I don’t clean up soon!”

Bears and big horns knocked me flat on my butt,
With all this commotion, my mom said, “What’s up!”
I must be in trouble, I am certainly doomed,
For the whole day has passed, and I haven’t cleaned my room.

First day of school

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Mickey the monkey started school today
Mickey was shy but kids asked to play
There was painting and crafts and snack time too
Mickey was amazed with so much to do

The teacher was nice, Mickey thought to herself
She lets us play house with the toys on the shelf
And when the day has passed and Mickey’s time is up
She sends us Mickey off with a smile and thumbs up

I got my shot

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

I went to the doctor to get my shot
It hurt a little, but not a lot

Because I was good and didn’t fight
Mom and Dad took me for a bite

I ate biscotti, drank chocolate milk
The drink was cold and smooth as silk

Now I’m shopping for toys and stuff
So getting a needle’s not so tough

Turtles turtles everywhere

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Turtles, turtles everywhere
Turtles, turtles in my hair
They’re in my soup, they’re on my bread
They’re in my shorts and on my head

Turtles, turtles on the wall
Turtles, turtles down the hall
They’re in my room, they’re on my bed
They’re on my pillow and on my spread

Turtles, turtles in my drawer
Turtles, turtles I want no more
I’ll make them leave, they won’t I dread
I fear those turtles are in my head
