Poem of the Week

The Wrong Start


I got up this morning and meant to be good,
But things didn’t happen the way
that they should.

I lost my toothbrush,
I slammed the door,
I dropped an egg
On the kitchen floor,
I spilled some sugar
And after that
I tried to hurry
And tripped on the cat.

Things may get better.  I don’t know when.
I think I’ll go back and start over again.

By Marchette Chute

Poem of the Week

The New Kid on the Block

There’s a new kid on the block,
    and boy, that kid is tough,
    that new kid punches hard,
    that new kid plays real rough.

That new kid’s big and strong,
    with muscles everywhere,
    that new kid tweaked my arm,
    that new kid pulled my hair.

That new kid likes to fight,
    and picks on all the guys,
    that new kid scares me some,
    (that new kid’s twice my size).

That new kid stomped my toes,
    that new kid swiped my ball,
    that new kid’s really bad,
    I don’t care for her at all.

Poem of the Week

Catherine

Catherine said, “I think I’ll bake
A most delicious chocolate cake.”
She took some mud and mixed it up
While adding water from a cup
And then some weeds and nuts and bark
And special gravel from the park.
A thistle and a dash of sand.
She beat out all the lumps by hand.
And on the top she wrote “To You”
The way she says the bakers do
And then she signed it, “Fondly C.”
And gave the whole of it to me.
I thanked her but I wouldn’t dream
of eating cake without ice cream
