Mop and Broom

There are many things
to do with a mop and broom
perhaps to clean the room
with a zoom, zoom, zoom.

We can pretend they are horses
and we'll take them for a ride.
Or the broom can be a groom
and the mop will be a bride.

We can hop upon them swiftly
as into the stars we soar.
And we can pretend we're riding
on the backs of dinosaurs.

So won't you come play with me
and with my broom and mop?
We can jump and dance and twirl
and never, never stop. 

   Have you ever played with a mop or a broom?  What did you do?  My son would use the broom for his guitar when he was young.  Or sometimes the handle would be a conductor's baton.  Use you imagination and write a poem about a mop or broom, or even a rake today.  Have fun.

  An imagination is a wonderful gift.  Use yours.

Dinosaur Food Fight

I love the idea of having a food fight.  Actually, I did have one once with a squeeze bottle of ketchup.  A boy watching was so upset that he started to cry and I felt terrible about that.  He remembers how upset watching made him feel and I've never done it again.  So, take my advice and avoid food fights if you can.



    

DINOSAUR FOOD FIGHT

The dinosaurs are having

a fight over food.

I know their behavior

is tremendously rude.

Tyrannosaurus Rex is baring

his teeth--they're white.

Stegosaurus is snapping.

He's ready to fight.

Apatasaurus is snarling.

Oh what a sight!

Allosaurus is gnashing

his jaws to bite.

Triceratops is gnawing,

with all his might.

The pteradon’s feet are clawing,

They're gripping tight.

Ankylosaurus’s tail is thrashing.

He's signaling fright!

I’m leaving this party

as quick as can be,

Cause the food that

they’re fighting

over

                                                 is

ME!
