Title: SUCCESS
I tried to teach my child from books,
He gave me only puzzled looks,
I tried to teach my child with words,
They passed by him often unheard,
Despairingly, I turned aside,
How shall I teach this child I cried,
Into my hand he put the key,
Come he said and play with me!!
Title: Today I Had a Rotten Day
Today I had a rotten day.
As I was coming in from play
I accidentally stubbed my toes
and tripped and fell and whacked my nose.
I chipped a tooth. I cut my lip.
I scraped my knee. I hurt my hip.
I pulled my shoulder, tweaked my ear,
and got a bruise upon on my rear.
I banged my elbow, barked my shin.
A welt is forming on my chin.
My pencil poked me in the thigh.
I got an eyelash in my eye.
I sprained my back. I wrenched my neck.
I'm feeling like a total wreck.
So that's the last time I refuse
when teacher says to tie my shoes.
