Summer
The summer grass
plays with my toes.
The summer breeze
tickles my nose.
The bumble bee
plays on a rose.
The water squirts
out of the hose.
I only wear
my undies for clothes.
Do you think
this is why
everything grows
better in summer?
|
Teatime
We wrestle and have fun.
We shout and scream and squeal.
Then we dress up all prim and
proper,
Cause now it's time for tea.

Giggling
Sometimes I giggle.
Do you giggle too?
Sometimes I giggle
the whole day through.
When it's time to stop,
I know it's time for bed.
And sometimes even then,
I giggle when prayers are
said.
Then God knows I'm happy,
instead of being sad.
|
| Stars
I
close my eyes.
I see the stars
all
twinkling in my head.
Then, I turn out their
lights
and
fall asleep
upon
my little bed.

Daddy's
Muscles
Daddy's muscles
stand up tall,
Like tin soldiers
big and proud.
He hugs me tight.
They feel so strong.
Oh no, no, no.
I could never be wrong
about who's holding
me.
|
My
Mommy's
Hands
My mommy's hands
smell nice and fresh
after dishes are
done.
My mommy's hands
feel nice and smooth
when she puts cream
on.
When mommy's hands
pick me up
to say goodnight
to me.
I touch them gently.
Does she know
what they mean to
me?
|
|
|
My ball rolls
into corners
because it's
nice and round.
No matter
how I toss it
it's never
upside down.

My
Shoes
When I have new shoes,
Everyone says,
"Look at those
new shoes."
They make a fuss,
and I am proud,
Even though I like
my old shoes best.
|
The
Clock
The clock that
hangs upon our wall
is silent as a mouse.
The books all say
it ticks and tocks,
but not the clock
that's in my house.
|
|
My
Pillow
My pillow is
Fluffy and
Bumpy and
Smooth!
It's all of these things,
but it can't move.
It sits on my bed
just waiting for
night,
when I pick it up
and hold it tight.
|
I
Dressed Myself
I dressed myself
today,
with colors bright
and cheery.
I just don't understand
why mommy said,
"Oh, deary."
