My Puppy Likes The Water

My puppy likes the water

My puppy likes the water,

My puppy likes to swim,

I've never seen a puppy who swims as much as him.

He swims not on the surface,G

but only underneath.

And maybe I should warn you 

he has very scary teeth.

Whenever people see him

they're frightened of his grin.

Or maybe it,s his lack of fur.

Or maybe it's his fin.

If you should buy a puppy,

just get the kind that barks.

Don't be like me.

I bought mine at a store that just sells sharks.

Our Teacher Sings The Bettles

Our Teacher Sings the Beatles

--Kenn Nesbitt

Our teacher sings The Beatles.

She must know every song.

We ask her please to stop

but she just sings, “It Won’t Be Long.”

And then she croons like Elvis.

She clearly thinks it’s cool.

And if we beg her not to

she just belts out, “Don’t be Cruel.”

She then does Michael Jackson.

It drives us nearly mad.

We have to cover up our ears

because she’s singing, “Bad.”

She winds up with The Wiggles

or else a Barney song,

and, even worse, she tells us all

that we should sing along.

It’s all my fault she does this.

I feel like such a fool.

I wish I’d never brought

my karaoke box to school.

Poem Selection

When grandma goes for gold in the Olympic games this year,she’ll laugh at her competitors and make them quake with fear.

She’s ninety nine years old but,in athletics she’s been blessed.The trouble is she can’t decide which sport she plays the best.

She such an ace at archery she’s queen of the canoe  she’s tough to top at taekwondo and table tennis too.

She dominates the diving board she tromps the trampoline at lifting weights shes the best you’ve ever seen.

She speeds across the swimming pool to slake the summer heat on BMX and Mountain bike she simply can’t be beat.

She’s highest in the high jump she a champ at hammer throwing magnificent in marathons remarkable at rowing.

She beats the best at boxing.At the pole vault she is peerless her fencing is the finest;She is positively fearless

She’s masterful at basketball,She truly rules the court and equally incredible at every other sport.

But what we find astonishing and something of a shocker is how she win all contest with her wheelchair and her walker.
