the bird bus

here comes the bird bus
driving down the street
filled up with beaks
hear the sounds “tweet tweet tweet”

feathers flying everywhere
poop covers the floor
let the bus drive away
don’t want to see anymore

some ideas

some ideas are silly
some ideas are fun
some ideas eat roast beef
some ideas eat none
some ideas go
wee wee wee wee
this poem is all done!!

just in case you can’t remember or never heard this one… some ideas need credit 😁

sound around town

Does your dog
bark in the dark?

Does your cat
sneeze in the breeze?

Does your goat
bleat in the heat?

Wait….
What’s that you say?
You don’t own a goat?

Well ...
do you…
croon at noon or wait ’til late?
screech at the beach or roar at the store?
fret at the wet or cry at the dry?

Do you spread your sound
around
the whole town?

Thank you to my friend Darcy Lee for using the phrase “barking in the dark” - what a great and inspiring rhyme! ❤️

Wild Free Me

Study your letters!
That’s what they said
But I wanted to paint my face blue instead!

Sit in your chair
Do your homework!
But I wanted to watch the woodpeckers work!

Learn about numbers
Understand fractions
But I wanted to see some magic in action!

Read this thick book
Then write a report
But I wanted to build the floor of my fort!

Put on this cap
Wear this blue gown
But I wanted to wear a cape and a crown!

I did what they said
I got my degree
But I wanted to always be wild free me!
