Poems

Hi, everyone! And Happy Thanksgiving to American friends. This week we tried our hand at poetry. At our house, we tend towards the Shel Silverstein and Dennis Lee kind of poetry, so this is what we came up with:

The first effort, Mommy started the first two lines and the boys helped me finish:

Once there was a little knight
Who never got his math sums right
Until he practiced every day
And he remembered he should pray.
Now he is thankful every day
That he can add whatever you say.

Pete did his all by himself:
Once there was a funny bunny
She wrecked a town she thought was funny.
by Rainbow
(See pictures in earlier posts, as she still does what's in one of them!)

Nate got a little help rhyming at the end, but the beginning and ideas are all his:
Once there was a funny bunny
Who always hopped so funny.
She played and chewed
My toys for food.

There's a theme here. As you can see, our rabbit is as good as a baby for teaching patience and putting favourite toys away!
