Hula hoop up on the roof Not sure how I’ll reach it… Hula hoop up on the roof… I guess the roof can keep it!

Watermelon Nothing better Big slice in summertime Cold and juicy Food and beverage Tastes so mighty fine

UNFINISHED WORK IN PROGRESS My Baby Calls Me Juliet My baby calls me Juliet She will not call me ‘Mom’ And everyday, ‘round 5AM She sounds like an alarm! “Ju-li-et, Ju-li-et ( **16 times**) “Oh, yes, my pet? I’m up, you bet! What can I get for you this morn’? Yogurt, oatmeal, a banana… Some flakes made out of corn? “And one small thing It’s no big deal And really only if you feel But maybe, and just for today, You’ll call me 'mama' While we play?” And she pinched her nose An

UNFINISHED! WORK IN PROGRESS Cardboard Boxes We bought a new fridge And we bought a new stove A dishwasher too I guess it was old We bought a new toilet And a new vanity So many new things…. But nothing for ME?!?! My dear daddy laughed hard And stomped both his feet “You don’t use the potty, Or water, or eat?” I knew what he meant But he knew what I meant too So he thought for a minute And knew right what to do “Sometimes one man’s trash Is his little girl’s treasure!” And he

UNFINISHED - WORK IN PROGRESS “The Magic Forest” (???) 1. A long time ago In a land far away There once was a forest Might be there today 2 The forest was big And the forest was wide And all sorts of magical things Lived inside 3. The forest held creatures And things without name It also held family And fortune and fame 4. Most people can’t find it Though there’ve been few Who say that they have And that the stories are true 5. And right here before you Is the tale that they

Food mess Toast crumbs in the butter Peanut butter in the jam Food bits in the milk cup Peas smashed into the ham Soggy cereal in a milk bowl Banana peel turned black A bit up, brown old apple Fruit flies in full attack Soda’s lost its bubble The tortilla’s pounded flat The salsa’s warm as sunshine The guac’s been eaten by the cat Forgotten ice cream melted Juice is running down the drain Freezer’s been left open Ice cubes dripping down like rain Stale chips on a plate, left

Hello good morning sunshine The brown earth has a plan Keep it low and keep it slow Not rush fast as you can Hello good morning sunshine The day starts fresh, anew Be sure to go, but keep it slow Don't want to miss the view

Walk along with nature Singing softly on the path Down across a river A big blue heron takes a bath Lolling through the long grass Chirping birds between the stalks In between the saplings A squat wooden square bat box It's peaceful and it's quiet Nobody calls my name... Hours pass It's time to go Though I shall Return again

MIDNIGHT Tucked inside pink coral Snuggled cozy in his home Lies the sleeping beta fish Who only lives alone Long and flowing tail Billows all around He often lies and lounges Lazily upon the ground He moved into a classroom When he was just a lad And now he lives upon our table And everyone is glad :)

HOME Home is a place Home has a taste Home is zone Where some time you can waste Home is a space Where you lie down your face Late at night on a pillow Set an alarm, just in case Home is a base Touch it most, take first place A batter, a ball In a high speed thrill chase Home is relief When you can't change the part And your new next door neighbor Helps your old car to start Home is a chair Where you sit down with ease Warm tea with lemon And honey from bees Home is your fami

Oh my teeth are yellow And my hair is white And when I wake up in the morn' It's like I've been up all night Oh my hair is wild And my armpits stink And I ain't had nuthin' But ginger ale to drink And I've got no class And I've got no cash But oh my Lordy I make those gold cymbals crash I make the big drum sing I let the silver bells shake The snare drum snaps Now everybody's awake I make the people dance I make them twirl their hips Make the folks forget to put their drinks

Wanna get up early Wanna stay up late When the moon comes out I want to celebrate I want to slap my bass I want to pluck guitar You know that I ain't good And I won't go far But you know I don't care Cuz the coal's nice 'n hot And we've got the best Though it ain't store bought And we'll stay up late Singing loud and sweet Clappin' all our hands, Yeah, and stompin' all our feet And Hey, hey, Now, don'cha know Gonna blow that harp And fiddle to-and-fro Gonna dance Gonna sing S

In the silence In the stillness Gaia whispers Sweet Fufilness In the sacred silent splendor We sit and watch ourselves forever

Just before morning The frozen Earth still Dark skies above him No wind, but a chill Walking an old path Center rutted in deep Out in the cities People wake from their sleep Night now behind him Tomorrow ahead His body well cloaked His stomach well fed He journeys alone He's left it behind Come way out here To help clear his mind The unknown keeps calling The quiet serene The call of the wild To sense the unseen

A Christmas wreath A pumpkin flat A spangled banner And leprechaun hat An Easter egg A tulip flag Bright pink hearts A witchy hag A neverending holiday... When the neighbors don't put their decorations away....

Daytime Moon Sometimes you can see the moon in the daytime Right here in the open blue sky A sort of Teeny crescent Almost like a cloud Only not It just sits there Reminding us of itself Hello Earth! Hello Moon! The sky is very blue..... What is color?

Cedar Tree Way out in the distance Far past the eye can see Sits upon a hill A giant cedar tree And though that tree is old It's strong as it ever was And the people go there Just to visit, just because The tree is all alone Nothing else is way up there There are no wild animals No deer or grizzly bear It lives up on the hillside As tall as it can be And it's there because it is It's there just to be free

Crooked Brownies Someone cut the brownies badly And I swear it wasn’t me But i couldn’t leave them there Looking crooked as can be So I took a butter knife And I made a tiny trim Then I ate a little sliver….. Then the feasting did begin! The brownies were still warm And oh, my my my my! I couldn’t stop the nibbling No matter how I tried!

MY POOP LOOKS LIKE A SMILEY FACE My poop looks like a smiley face I know that may sound weird But if I can go a wee bit more He’ll have a little beard! My poop looks like the sunshine On a sunny day And if I can go a little more I’ll give this sun some rays! My poop looks like the letter W Down up, down up again! And if you turn your around It looks like the letter M! My poop looks like a little doll See her mouth and nose? And if I can go a little more I can give my doll som
