FOOD FIGHT

A lion
and a tiger
are fighting
over food.
I think
their behavior
is terribly
rude.

I'm running away
from them,
quick as
can be
'cause the food
that they're fighting
over 
is
ME.

     One of my favorite riddles is: How many penguins can a polar bear eat?  The answer is zero because polar bears live in the North Pole and penguins are in the South Pole.  What interesting and unusual facts do you know about animals?  Can you write a poem today that includes one strange fact?  Have fun writing.

Apology poem #3

Sometimes we write the letter, but we're not really sorry.

APOLOGY

Dear Mrs. Gambill-West,

I’m sorry the chocolate stained Margaret Jane’s party dress.

But, if she hadn’t dared me by sticking out her tongue,

And tickled and teased me and then turned to run,

I never would have thrown that cake,

Or caused the food fight mess.

Please excuse my rudeness,

And lack of thoughtfulness.

Yours truly,

Gordon G. Guess.

P.S. My mother made me write this. It’s all Margaret Jane’s fault.
