The Turkey and the Pilgrim
By Diana
On Thanksgiving Day,
not one turkey comes out to play
for the pilgrims will look
for a fat turkey for their wives to cook.
All the turkeys fear
any human that comes near.
If a pilgrim tries to touch one,
the sight you see will not be fun.
What you eat is pure sacrifice.
So try not to use a knife
when you eat your turkey.
And please try to eat more jerky.
Halloween
By Diana
Halloween, Halloween
Oh, what shall I be
for Halloween?
I'll be something green,
or a monster you haven't seen.
A furry animal,
a hungry cannibal,
a bumble bee,
a redwood tree
Maybe my teacher!
(I'd sure like to bewitch her!)
An evil witch,
an old man with a twitch,
a beautiful fairy,
Spongebob's pet sea snail Gary.
My dog,
or a mold-covered log,
a pocketbook,
a giant fish hook,
a football player,
or John Mayer.
A stinky sock,
a cat that can talk,
a 100 dollar bill,
maybe a fish named Gill.
A TV star,
a big chocolate bar,
a dirt dust bunny,
a big bowl of sticky honey,
a great grizzly bear,
a perfectly ripe pear,
a giant fist,
Boy, this is a long list!
But no matter what I choose to be,
I will always just be little me!
Candy
By Diana
Sweet, sweet
A candy treat
Yum, yum
Bubble gum
Lollipop
Can't stop
Licking my candy treat
The Poodle and Her Noodle
By Diana
I am a poodle
And I have a noodle.
And my noodle is the size of a pea.
'cause when I see a bee
I try to eat it
And then it stings me.
Sardines
By Diana
Beets are maroon,
spinach is green.
I'd rather hug you
than smooch a sardine!
Wind
By Diana
Wind is everywhere,
wind blows through my hair.
It goes around
without a sound.
Wind is everywhere.
Goose
By Diana
I wish I were a goose
Covered in chocolate mousse.
And if I were a goose.
I'd run around loose like a goose!
Catfish
By Diana
I'm a catfish.
Don't you dare put me on a dish.
I'm afraid of knives.
Don't take away my nine lives.
My arch foe is the dogfish.
His tail goes swish, swish.
My mother is an octopus.
My father is a total wuss.
My favorite author is Dr. Seuss.
My favorite topping is chocolate mousse.
Now you see I live a good life.
So don't you dare touch me with a knife,
If I'm ever on your dish.
And remember, I'm a catfish.
The Life of Gymnastics
By Diana
Gymnastics is my life of fun,
I like to amaze everyone.
I started as a little tot,
And now I can do a lot.
I can flip and flop,
I can tumble over a mop.
I can jump around
Without a sound.
I can balance on a beam,
I love my floor routine.
I swing on the bars,
I vault over cars.
Even though I move on,
I still do cartwheels on my lawn.
Now everyone will hear me shout aloud,
"I am a gymnast and very proud!"
Twiddle
By Diana
Twiddle Twiddle in a tree,
How many Twiddles do you see?
Twiddle Twiddle in a tree,
I see many Twiddles in the tree.
Twiddle-ti, Twiddle-tum,
How many Twiddles are on my thumb?
Twiddle-ti, Twiddle-tum,
Not many Twiddles are on my thumb.
Twiddle-di, Twiddle-dum,
Which Twiddle is the smart one?
Twiddle-di, Twiddle-dum,
The Twiddle king is the smart one.
Twiddle Twiddle
Twiddle-ti, Twiddle-tum,
Twiddle-di, Twiddle-dum
How many Twiddles are in the sum?
I'll give you a hint, there's more than one.
Can you guess how many Twiddles are in the sum?
