They came by ones
by twos and threes.
They entered through the cracks,
the windows and the door.
They took over the living room,
the kitchen, and the bathroom.
They yelped for help!
Every one needed something!
The cat.. a hat
The fish ...its fins
The Lorex ...a pocket
I heard the cry:
What?... A Kangaroo without a pouch!
A stitch and a snip,
a snip and a stitch.
The problem is solved.
Finally, they all left the house
in time for the school play.
Chameleons come in yellow, blue and green
Some even come as black as a limousine.
They also come in pink, brown and red;
some even have horns on their head.
Sometimes when they are green,
they hide in the bushes and never be seen.
There is a chameleon sitting in the heat
out goes his tongue and he finds a treat.
Because of the chameleon clever espionage
the fly is a victim of it’s camouflaged
with bright colors will find a mate.
After that they can go out for a date.
Isaac (8)
His wings are small
and his eyes are very large.
His blue, gray body is round and plump.
One stubby arm is waving sweetly.
I want to hold him very tight.
Nicky (6 years old) @Chicago 2008
Every day I put:
bread for the birds,
peanuts for the squirrels.
I leave nothing for the rats.
The food is for the birds and squirrels only!
But, why are the rats getting fatter?....
Todos los días dejó
pan para los pájaros
cacahuates para las ardillas,
pero nunca nada para las ratas.
La comida es solo para los pájaros y las ardillas.
Entonces, ¿Por qué las ratas están engordando?
Iz is very nice
He plays with dice.
He has pet mice.
Iz likes rice
and licks some ice.
He is very wise
and always thinks twice.
He should get a prize.
Nick had a big stick
and he wanted to kill a tick.
The tick ran up a brick
and Nick stepped on a yellow chick.
The yellow chick kicked Nick
and now he feels all sick!
