When we go in
To find our seats
Dad asks us
What we want to eat.
Mom gets a coke
And candy drops,
And Dad gets popcorn
In a box.
I get a little box of pez
“Nothing for me,” my sister says.
We take our seats,
The movie starts,
And every time,
I don’t know how,
That’s when I hear my sister say,
“I think I’d like some popcorn now.” JUMPING IN PUDDLES
How many puddles
Would a boy find
On a rainy day
At quarter to nine?
Little John set out,
No umbrella at all,
To find each one
And he found them all. [[insert picture 005 here]] THE MAGIC OF BOOKS
I took down a book,
And I traveled away
To a land where dolphins
Splash and play.
And rode through the jungle
Just for fun,
Where elephants stood
In the morning sun.
And over a lake
The birds flew by,

What is it, dear?”
“He’ll only play,” said Billy then,
“If he can be the engineer.” SUMMER BOAT RIDE
We untie from the pier
And set our white boat free,
We pass the floating buoys
And head out to the sea.
Onshore we see kites fly above
The sandy beaches that we love.
When Dad turns the motor up
To carry us across the bay,
The water flies behind us
In a streak of silver spray.
We have our sandwiches
And little sodas packed in ice,
And take the watermelon out
And have a juicy slice.
The day is crisp, the water blue
And every moment bright and new.
Each sight is new beyond each bend.
We never want the day to end. PAPER BOAT
Maybe this tiny paper boat
Will travel to a far-off land
Down streams and oceans far away
To land upon some foreign strand.
Maybe this tiny paper boat
Will pass a palace full of light
And see a princess dancing
Under the stars at night.
Or maybe under moonlit fields
Or in a place where magic brings
The sound of fairy laughter
And the flutter of their wings.
Or maybe far beyond this place
Going to school one day,
Some little boy will stop and say
“Who sent this ship so far away?” [[insert picture 007
