...

My family went to Hollywood.
There were plenty of things to do.
I decided on that trip
To make one of my dreams come true.
...

The bird flitted from place to place.
She had something she had to do.
Her task was very important;
She wanted to live in the zoo.
...

I'll be your guide in Goodfood.
I'll show you all around.
Folks looking for delicious food
Know here is where it's found.
...

Monday's child is ill, I'm told.
Tuesday's child has caught a cold.
Wednesday's child is down with the flu.
Thursday's child is feeling blue.
...

It’s so very cold,
My breath I can see.
As much as I love
To skate, sled, and ski,
...

'I've never seen such a thing, '
The reluctant diner was heard to mutter
When first offered a sandwich
Of pickles and peanut butter.
...

'Sorry, ' said the king's men,
'There's no helping Humpty.
He'll never sit again.'
...

A young man would often boast,
"Of courage I have the most."
Until one night,
His hair turned white
...

There is no man
In all this land
Happier than the fellow
In the citrus stand.
...

One dozen daring dudes
Ventured forth on an adventurous day.
They'd set themselves a goal,
A dragon they would slay.
...

Don't spoil your appetite.
Get ready to eat hearty.
Today you will feast
Like a jackalope.
...

My pencil went tap, tap, tap.
Jill's rubber band went snap, snap, snap.
The kids all started to clap, clap, clap.
Juan's gum went pop, pop, pop.
...

I Wish My Students Were Owls


There was an owl that lived in an oak.
...

The brave, bold knight went out to face
The biggest dragon in the place.
That dragon was big! He was rude!
He could really roar!
