Star Stickers
Some teachers once used stickers
To reward a super grade.
Originally, star-shaped ones
Were all the ones they made.
My grandson's potty-training, too,
Involved those stick-on stars,
Which also were exchangeable
For varied Hot Wheels cars.
His younger sister somehow
Got her hands on quite a few.
Despite her age, she right away
Knew just what she should do.
So now I'm finding, on her chair,
The cabinets, the floor,
A galaxy of shining stars
To jazz up the decor.
