Questions

head, head, think, think
questions to be answered questions to think
night, night, day,day
why do we have night and day
 
small,small,big,big
two opposites to call

Dolphin
Dolphin
You swim in the sea
Dolphin
You could never hurt me
Dolphin
You jump in the sky
Dolphin
So very high!
Dolphin
You love the water
Dolphin
I could never alter
Dolphin
You're like a star
Dolphin
Oh yes you are!

A Poem for All the Seasons

Winter is bare there's snow everywhere
Spring is green when the birds love to sing.
Summer is hot and dry,
But who knows why
Fall is the season of loving & caring,
It's also the season of giving & sharing.
Christmas is fun for everyone,
And Easter is too!
The 4th of July is when the sun shines bright on me & you.
And Thanksgiving is great too!
I wrote this poem just for you!

The what if poem

As I lay in my bed a little whatif crawled into my head.

Whatif I am late to school?
What if my classmates think I'm a fool?
What if I'm not in science on time?
What if my locker is covered in grime?
What if I dirty my brand knew tie?
What if I fall over and start to cry?
What if I lose all my important math books?
What if my classmates give me nasty looks?
What if my teachers are very mean?
What if my face turns bright lime green?
Wait I think theyv'e left me alone, to go and find another home.

Guernsey
 
Not many people know about Guernsey
You try to tell them and they think your zany
Now listen closely and listen now
I will start with a guernsey cow.
They give us milk and builds up our bones
But they are real fussy and take over our homes
Now they may be animals but their clever you know
They sleep in our beds and make us feel low
At the dead ofd night one by one
They creep into houses when the owners are gone
They eat all our foods and take back their milk
They wear your best pyjamas
Yes! The ones made of silk
So don't be stupid next time you see a cow
Tell them you know their plan
And tell them now!
 
But next on my list lets not delay
Are the tomatoes you see
Yes, thats what I say.
They are evil you know you better beware
Or will be in for a scare!
Thet are true Guernsey tomatoes, with the accent you know
But if you feed them  a little they grow and grow
They take your bicycles and your cars
They fight with the cows and have massive wars
So next time you come to Guernsey
Think again go to Jersey (boooooooooo!)
