What rhymes with butt.
My dog is a mutt.
We don’t have a cat
Can you imagine that?
My mom says I’m crude,
My dad says I’m rude
I just want to be
An ordinary dude.
I’m ten years old
My sis has a cold
Don’t eat the cheese
‘Cause it’s just old mold
We play cops and robbers
It’s totally fun.
Running around
With our toy guns.
I like Dr. Seuss
Someone ate a moose.
I like trains
Especially the caboos...
I feel like a little kid
Writing topics too grown
I can’t wait to learn to drive
I miss you when I’m home
My soul feels aged
Why can’t I be older
I want to walk down the aisle
And cry on your shoulder
Someone to call me mine
That would be nice.
Lord why am I like this
I’m certain what I want
But not in this moment.
Little me thought I could plan it all out.
Turns out I can, but it won’t truly wor...
I love to color
I love animols
It has to be pur-fect
In the lines everytime
Or I have to try
Try again
My Mommy
always colors
In the lines
I feel sad I can’t
But I Put on my smile
Color and smile
so mamma
Will love me
Every day
And I will be a
Good girl
Gonna go colors now...
Roses are red, violets are blue, the honey is sweet but so are you.
Ring a ring a Rosie, a pocket full of daisies.
A tissue a tissue we all fall down.
The cows are in the meadow eating buttercups, a tissue a tissue we all stand up.
Hey diddle diddle, the cat played the fiddle and the cow jumped over the moon.
The little boy laughed to have such fun and the dish ran away with the spoon.
Twi...
When I go outside, the first thing I see
Is my trampoline right behind the old tree
I climb the tree often, it makes me feel tall
Never too high, I'm afraid I might fall
Sometimes in the summer I'll play hide and seek
And meet all my friends at the end of the creek
I know all the spots, so I always win
Until it gets dark and my mom says “come in”...
_My cat sat on my mat,_
_He was chewing on my crayons, like he was… like he was…_
“Sara! What rhymes with crayons?”
“What?” Sara called down the stairs
“What, rhymes, with, craynon’s?” Mike yelled, pausing at the end of every word.
“Umm. Spray on’s? I don’t know.”
“No, that doesn’t fit! Something else!”
Mike heard the pounding on the stairs as Sara trundled down.
“What do you want Mikel?” ...
I wish I was my dad.
He can swim very fast!
And I can’t, that’s sad.
Every time I swim, I’m the last.
I also want to be like my mom,
She’s nice because she feeds my fish Tom.
And she gives me food every morning, night, and even when I go to school.
Isn’t she cool!!!
Also, I love my dog Blake.
He makes moves like he was in stage. Haha
He’s funny.
I like to play outside while it’s sunny.
