Charging cables or black noodles?

Charging cables or black noodles?

She is asking me
again,
she is looking for it
again
she does not know where it is
again
she’s looking in the bedroom
she’s looking under the bed
she’s looking under the table
she’s looking under the sofa
she’s looking under the pillows
but is not there
I know it is not there
I knew it was not there
I know where it should be
It should be in the kitchen
in the cooking pan
on the stove
in boiling water
– Gabi…. have you seen my power cable?
OOPS what have I done?
I thought it’s a noodle….
… a black noodle
but…
it’s not…
It’s a charging cable
It charges my sister’s laptop

I won’t change the dirty…

I won’t change the dirty…

I won’t change it
you can’t take it off
you can’t pull it off
you can’t roll it off
you can’t change it
but you can clean it
you can wipe it while is on
me
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO
take it off?
DON’T YOU SEE YOU CAN
clean it on mee?
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY
I have to take it off
WHEN VERY WELL you…
you can let it go.
’cause I love my t-shirt
the way it goes
with stains of pasta,
and pizza slime,
with chocolate browns
and green trails of peas
AREN’T YOU HAPPY?
that I eat HEALTHY?

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.

Gabi HAD AN ESCAPE

Gabi HAD AN ESCAPE

Had an escape

 

Thunder, thunder,

What a blast,

Had an escape ,

In my neighbour’s garden

Over the fence

And in the bush

Wet

Wet

After the showers were gone

I had

To have fun

With

A frisbee ……… and the rain.

But the frisbee

Flew

So high

Over the…..

Fence and in the bush.

Then…….my brother came,

O……and my mother came

Oooo……no, no,no,

It’s time to jump!

They call me……

They are looking for meeeee…….

They want to find me……

No they won’t find me…….

No they won’t see me…….

I am wet

I am cold

I move in…..

In ….. the bushes

They will think i am a raccoon

O …no….

They did not find me

But the neighbour

Did

Lucky!

She likes raccoons

So she takes me back home

Hand in hand

 Hand in hand

All alone……….

I had an escape

Hadn’t I ?
