Give me a sock…

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

I can do
with a sock full of peanut butter.
It’s Wednesday
It is rainy
and dandy
But I don’t care
’cause it’s pizza day today
So no fuss
and no bus
I’m going to school
’cause it’s pizza day !
sleep in
no give in
I’m going to school
’cause it’s pizza day !
no breakfast
no homework
I’m going to school
’cause it’s pizza day !
Hey !
One recess gone
One work done
I’m good today
’cause it’s pizza day
I’ll eat it
I’ll munch it
I’ll gulp it
First slice
is gone
Another one
on the plate
today
’cause it’s pizza day
Hey Mom !
How was your day ?
I had two
Observant and on the go
I am a happy go lucky joe
I do not have an Ego
but a wish
I don’t keep a grudge
but I’ll
stand up for my will
I love my life
as it is
more excitement
I can’t even wish
’cause everybody is my friend
and everything I see is grand.
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’ll help you when I’ll see you
I’ll sing to you when you are still asleep
I’ll dance with you when I see that ou are tired
I’ll jump with you when you seat
I’ll read with you when you do your taxes
I’ll be very hungry when I have homework
I’ll do my homework when I see it’s late
I’ll come with you when I see
that you let me alone
at my own peace
so you see
DO NOT HURRY ME
when it’s time for work
or school
or go
cause you know I need time
to play.
It is white
it is long
it is soft
it can laugh
it can cry
it can sing
it can dance
it can shout
it can shout loud
it can listen
it can jump
it can hide
it can walk
it can tell you a story
it can tell me a story
it can tell you a scary story
lots of scary stories
so you see ….You won’t guess
you know
because…..
it can be dangerous to guess
couse it can strech
and it has two grey lines
and it has an ankle
and it has a strech band
and……
YOU SEE? IT IS DANGEROUS.
but let me tell you
let me tell you
O LET ME TELL YOU
what it is,
cause it comes with me
everywhere
anywhere
anytime
exept
at school
I won’t take it to school
cause it knows already everything
and
because
BECAUSE
YOU DID NOT GUESS?
IT’S MY STRECHY NICE WHITE PUPETT SOCK
w
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.

when I have so many interesting things
to do
my IPAD is full of songs
my room is full of toys

I don’t like spoons…. you know
I don’t like forks and plates and glasses
I am a natural
