Stream of Poems

The other day we had a family room cleaning event. While construction vehicles worked on the street in front of our house, all five of us gathered in the boys' room to give a thorough spring cleaning. Michael crawled around, Sarah climbed on the bed frame, I dusted and scrubbed apple juice goo off the crib, and Dan and David sat on the mattress, writing poems.
This is the result of several minutes of work on a sunny spring afternoon.

Streams of Poems

Digging Digging up our road
Why are they digging up our road?

A fly went by
and got in my eye. (by Sarah)

Shmopping up our house.

Michael is a silly boy.
He makes us go....bonkers.

David is a silly boy.
He makes us go...bananas.

Robots are silly.
Robie Jr. is silly, but his batteries burned out.

Sarah is a cutie girl.
We put her in a Cheerio!

So now you have David's first group of poems. If he doesn't end up opening a bug museum that serves ice cream on Saturdays, maybe he will be a writer!
Wait and see.
