BRIGHT EYES AND BUSHY TAILS

BRIGHT EYES AND BUSHY TAILS

It’s getting darker
’cause clouds are covering the sky
It’s getting wet
’cause rain is starting now.
I’ll do my homework
cause the thunder can be heard.
My eyes are bright
my brain has bushy tails
cause lightning has come.
The words are easy
to trace
and write
when thunder is outside.
The reading
is done
in no time
when thunder is outside.
The clocks have hours
that I know to count
when thunder is outside.
I’ll write a sentence
and turn my head
‘couse lightning is bright.
I’ll color the “BIG FOOT” red
and the “LITTLE FOOT” blue
’cause lightning is sound.
I’ll color the ” BIG TOOTH” green
and the ” LITTLE TOOTH” too
’cause lightning is shiny.
I’ll do the matching
of the words
when thunder is SO LOUD.
I only have a few more words
and I’m done
when storm is all I hear.
So now you know
why I can say
my eyes are bright
and head has tails
because THIS storm makes me
EXCITED
like a pug
with
BRIGHT EYES AND BUSHY TAIL.

Note for my homework helper:
Next time when I don’t want to do my homework
just call out the storm
an see what mirical wonders
a little
thunder
can ever DO.

I MISS MY SOCKS

I MISS MY SOCKS

I rush past the bus driver
I rush through the door
I rush through the front gate
I rush past my wagging pug
I rash through the hallway
I don’t see my mom
I don’t even say “hi mom”
I don’t see anything
I don’t hear anything
I’m not interested even in my iPad
I don’t even want ice cream
I don’t even want my chocolate milk
I open the door
I look in the mirror
I see it
I look at it
Woosh woosh
howa howa
grr grr
boom boom
ha ha
hi hi
ho ho
my socks, my socks
my pile of socks is there
they are here
nobody took them away
not even the mom that
has the good habit to trow them
in
the washing mashine
sometimes.

Note to the reader:
Gabi loves his socks so much that he collects all the socks in the house and puts them in a pile in the middle of his room.
Sometimes he plays make believe games and stories putting up a “one man show”. He puts them up on his hands and uses them like puppets.

AT THAT SPECIAL TIME OF THE DAY

AT THAT SPECIAL TIME OF THE DAY

or white potatoes

or red beans

or brown meat

or red sos

or even

green mustard

but not green

Pug, mastiff or pit bull in Earl Bales Park

I had a trip in Earl Bales Park

it is white and cold

it is windy and slippery

but we’re brave and playful

she’s on the leash

she’s hopping

she’s pulling

she’s running

her nose is white with snow

she’s galloping

she’s wild

I trip

I get up

she’s pulling too hard

I trip again

I run up the hill

but I can’t

I can’t catch her

she’s flying

I want to fly too

HEAL! HEAL!

STOP! STOP!

SIT! SIT!

STAY! STAY!

but she won’t hear me

she won’t look at me

she won’t listen

to me

’cause a big mastiff

is commmiinggg

and she wants to.. to…

smell his nose

WHAT IS SHE THINKING?

my little pug

fancy she’s a big pit bull scaring the mastiff away?

I’m singing loud
and my socks are singing

loud
very loud
and they laugh…..
and they smell and laugh,
and they look in the mirror and sing
and they mumble
and they are mischievous
and if I don’t entertain them they scream
and they cry
and
and they get angry
and and they trow a tantrum
and they might even run…
away
so you see!!!!!
I’m very busy taking care of my socks
I don’t have time for homework
but maybe….maybe….
maybe if I get a Choco….
or a cookie,
or a candy
or some popcorn from my pug
maybe …
I’ll think about…
but only if I can go for walk
with my pug
and my scooter
