All About Your Child

Joshua can burp the ABCs.
Mr. Johnson can dunk the basketball.
Joshua can stay under water for twenty seconds.
Keri can put her legs over her shoulders.
David M. can make strong smells in strange places.
David B. can’t stop giggling.
Jason can bark like a walrus.
Justin can trumpet like an elephant.
Lindsey can sleep all day.
Endi can throw up his pizza.
Keri can wiggle her ears.
My friends are so talented, we ought to put on a talent show

(and write a poem about it).

I’m thankful for my kitty.
She keeps me up at night.
I’m thankful for my brother.
That thief just stole my kite.
I’m thankful for my mother.
Her cooking makes me sick.
I’m thankful for my teacher,
because she speaks so quick.
I’m thankful for my best friend.
I think she stole my date.
I’m thankful for my gerbil.
He died in ’98.
