Wow lucky you!
I can talk with anyone in any language.
I love foreign languages
but more than that, there is a language
that I love
that everyone can talk
it is my language
it is your language
it is everyone’s language
it is the language of
simple communication,
the language of love.
Wait, here is my cup of milk
It is nine o’clock
It is time for bed
It is time to brush my teeth
It is time to sleep
It is time to wash my feet
It is time to wash my hands
It is time to shower
but wait
I see Penny the pug
but wait
I have to feed her
wait
I have to play with her
wait
I have to take her outside
for pee
wait I have to put
the balls away
I have to put
the toys away
I have to put the books
away
I have to get my
t-shirt
wait, wait
I have to give dad
the phone
and I have to give my sister
her backpack
and I have to give
my brother
the clock
wait, wait
I have to turn off
the TV
I have to put the dishes
in the dishwasher
I have to put the dishwasher
on
Wait, I see a spider
and an ant
and a fly
and the beatle
the beatle on the window
outside
wait I see a pencil on the floor
and a towel on the chair
and the chair is not
at the table
and the backpack is not
at the dor
and the …
You see I’m very busy
and I still didn’t have
my cup of milk
Ha ha ha
I tricked you !
It’s 9:45 PM
So What ?
Hm, Hm
No socks
No crocks
No shoes
No blues
I know
I know
My feet are dirty
So what ?
Do you think flat ?
I’m myself
by myself
in the garden
on the grass
even on the mud puddle
on the floor
on the carpet
even on my clean bed
so what
may dirty feet
won’t wash
’cause if they wash
they won’t be
mine
I call them dirty feet
so what !
do you think flat ?
ALL IN A WHOLE
WHAT IS IT?
The whole world
ALL IN A whole?
what is a whole?
it is a ball
what is a ball?
it is goal
what is a goal?
it is a call
what is a call?
it is a strole
what is a strole?
it is a roll
what is a roll?
it is a hole
what is a hole?
it is fall
what is a fall
it is me in the garden
LEARNING TO ROLL
THE BALL
IN A HOLE
WHILE I STROLE
AND FALL
THAT IS ALL IN A WHOLE
GOT ONE
Got one
got two.
WHAT A BOO!
Got three
got four.
WHAT A BALL!
Got five
got six.
WHAT A KICKX!
Got seven
got eight.
WHAT A DATE!
Got nine
got ten.
THAT’S THE END,
of the lunch box.
It’s on the roof
OF MY SCHOOL.
Get one
Tumble, rumble
Doodle noodle
I had a rooster
like a buster
It clicked once
It clicked twice
And went tumbling
out the window
Oops
it was my mom’s
watch
down the window…..
IT’S a…….
It’s soft
it’s brown
light brown
it runs
it jumps
it turns
it lives on the sofa
but most of all
it lives on my bed
or on dad’s lap
or on mom’s coat
or on my sister’s computer
or
or my brother’s shorts
or by the window
but it does not leave
on the floor
or not even on the carpet
let alone
in a cage
but it has TWO BIG EYES
AND TWO BIG BLACK EYEBROWS
AND A WET NOSE
AND A LONG TANG
AND A WIGGLY TAIL
AND AND
A PINK COLLAR
Did you guess?
what it is?
It’s a dog
but not any dog
IT’S A PUG.
DRILL….
Give me a sock…
and I can sing
Give me a sock…
and I can dance
Give me a sock…
and I can paint
Give me a sock…
and I can blast
but but but
give me peanut butter…
and see what
I can do
with a sock full of peanut butter.
