Me Versus the 4th Grader

Monsoon yet to come -------> Me
If it has come, I will die!!! --------> Audrey - 4th grader 
Poor little smell goat ---------> Me

Author Note:
I found out her verse is really innocent, peppy and a bit clueless, but still look hilarious though, so I decide to post it. She becomes addicted in Haiku since I asked her to battle with me after our lesson time was over. :p

*After the Haiku finished:

Me: Why Monsoon could make you die? (wondering)
Audrey: Because I cannot swim. (with innocent face)
Me: I thought you were afraid to shower by the rain, just like goats (she pouts)

she's a smart kid, always thirst for new things, so rather than always just pouring a plain water in the glass of her intelligence, why not I try to mix it with syrup or maybe a lemonade instead, study also needs to be fun and fresh, doesn't it? And surprisingly she enjoyed :D
