Good To the Bone--A First Grader's Story
It's time to tell my story of
what started back when I was four,
When I was outside playing with
my little kittens I adored.
I noticed two were sweet and played
so nicely, but the other two
were rough and mean. They'd always make
the meek ones cry. Right then a new
thought came to me. What if I could
make mean cats nicer when they play?
Then I said "Be good" as I touched
the meanies' noses. Right then they
got nicer. They were really good
for five whole days. Again I tried
my magic spell. It worked! I am
a super hero with great pride.
My super powers worked inside
on my much-older brothers too.
Our parents can't believe how nice
they are to me. They have no clue
about what's going on. They think
my brothers got nice on their own!
I'll change those first-grade bullies too
and make them all good to the bone!
