When Octopus came round for tea,
it was a tricky time for me.
Not knowing what he’d like to eat.
I wondered... savoury or sweet?
I borrowed spoons from Mrs Deggs
next door, for each of his eight legs.
I ‘d heard, if cross, black ink he’d squirt.
I worried... main course or dessert?
I know you’re thinking ‘do the two’
but he doesn’t eat like me and you,
his tummy’s really very small,
he can’t eat very much at all.
I fast flicked through my cooking books
and gave the clock face frequent looks,
but soon the door bell went ‘terrrinnggg’
Oh gosh! Hot pie or cold pudding?
‘Terrrinnggg, terrrinnggg’. Eight times it rang
and then he used each leg to bang
eight times upon my door. I rushed
to open it, and past he pushed.
“Please hurry up and let me in”
he squealed, and I thought, through the din,
‘He must be hungry for his food,
that’s why his manners are so rude’
But still I didn’t have clue
(a secret between me and you)
what I should feed the octopus.
I wished he ate like one of us.
I closed my eyes and made a wish,
Into my thoughts popped ‘Jelly fish!’
It sounded like the perfect meal,
much tastier than jellied eel.
Ooh, seafood with a fruity taste
and wobbly too. I cooked with haste,
and while I wondered what he’d think
I gave him sea water to drink.
He drank it through a straw, with ice.
He smiled and said “That’s rather nice,
but now I really need my dinner
before my legs get any thinner”
The Jelly Fish I boiled and froze
and put some parsley up its nose.
It was neither jelly nor a fish
but I served it on a silver dish
and asked before it passed his lips
“Do you want it with ice-cream or chips?”
He chose to have a bit of each,
both garnished with a slice of peach.
It all went down with one loud SLUURRRPPP
close followed by a great big BUUUURRRRPP
"It is Sunny" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "Frere Jacques".
It is sunny,
It is sunny.
I am glad!
I am glad!
Lookin' at those gray skies,
Lookin' at those gray skies,
Made me sad,
Made me sad.
Bonus activity: Ask children how they feel weather affects their moods. Do they feel
cheerful on sunny days? Sad on rainy days? How do they feel when it's snowing?
The day was bright and sunny, the sky was clear and blue,
and although it may sound funny, I found him in my shoe,
He was an itty bitty worm, so I named him Willy Wiggle,
He sure can squirm, and you should hear him giggle,
So I took little Willy, 'cause I couldn't leave him all alone,
and you may think I was silly, but I took him with me home,
Then he became my pal, and my bestest buddy,
and you should see him smile, when he goes and gets muddy,
So we went fishin' one day, and I use little Willy for bait,
and I'll just have to say.....It's one thing I really did hate,
I laid him on my hook....and I cast out my line,
and you should've seen his look....as he gave me a peace sign,
Then little Willy went down and he sunk all the way to the bottom,
all of a sudden little Willy jerked my line, that's when I knew he'd got'em,
So I started reeling Willy up!....and I was really reeling fast!
and I was really hoping......little Willy lungs would last,
Then up came Willy Wiggle.....the fish was right behind,
and Willy started to giggle...and he gave me another peace sign!
Willy told me that ol' fish came a swimmin' at him....
and that he thought there for a second....his chances were pretty slim...
He also told me ...and he didn't tell a lie...
he said he swung a left.....and punched the fish in its eye...
And I saw the fishes eye and it was surely black....
but I still don't know why....Willy didn't give it any slack!...
Then little Willy Wiggle threw the fish over his back..
and you should've heard him giggle as he gave the fish a smack..POW!!!
So we took the fish home and prepared it for dinner....
and I also have to say.....Willy sure is a good fish skinner...
Then we fried our fish......in a Big Hot Plate.........
and I could tell then....little Willy couldn't wait.....
We put the fried fish on our table...on a Great Big Dish!...
and it was the first time I'd ever.....seen a worm eat some fish.......
And little Willy Wiggle is still my bestest buddy........
and you should hear us giggle....when him and I get muddy.
Well atleast the wall says hopscotch
Better than butter !
but butters too bitter.. in my scotch
So scorch the sapling that stays to say that the scorpians say they stay to prey !
While willingly waiting to see where we were
Pipers hate pepper plugging their pipes peaking purrs !
Pardon me Polly
Bonjour !
Good day !
But she never told me what she said that same day
She told me it would just get in my way..
Oh darn !!!
Hurray !.. ? My mistake..
dont frett.
she'll get by fine on her own I bet !

Toadstools shouldn’t tower so;
A blade of grass be taller than I.
One raindrop shouldn’t get me soaked;
A ladybug look me in the eye.
Something seems amiss, I say;
This really is an awful surprise -
Either I’ve woken in a land of giants,
Or shrunken one hundredth of my size.
If it were a dream I’m in,
I wouldn’t have felt that pinch.
It seems to me a mile today,
Yesterday was just an inch.
Perhaps I shouldn’t have yelled at Mom
And screamed I wanted to live someplace else;
Perhaps that tantrum I threw last night
Shrunk me down smaller than an elf.
What can I do to regain my size
And have normalcy return?
I would say, I am sorry and hug my Mom
If my family I could rejoin.
Being bad really makes you small;
In many more ways than just one.
I have learned this lesson for myself -
Behaving is much more fun.
I wish sometimes that i could go back in time just so i could rewrite all my wrongs change all
the things that are now gone change the way i wrote my lifes song siting here now wondering
how things could go so wrong how could i let this happen is it really all my fault that your
gone did i not care enough when they handed me that paper did i not think it through did i
not do everything i had to just to keep you here with me when i signed on that line did i
throw our lives away was i just to blind to see the truth behind all the lies why couldn't i just
open up my eyes just enough to realize what they done to us they tore us apart ripped my
heart right out left me here sad and alone with this pain that will never go away tears fall
from my eyes almost everyday i cry just siting here trying to figure out why things had to
turn
out like this why it had to be me that is the one who is losing out when the only thing i ever
wanted was to be there and watch you grow up

I stood thinking of you,
At a sparkling fountain.
It was in a mall,
Not an island, nor a mountain.
And a wish cost but a penny.
God only if that could be true.
Then, I'd be standing by your side,
And your side beside me too.
And I pondered staring into that
pool.
Aware of people staring, aware of
people walking by, aware they were
uncaring.
And it didn't matter if it were foolish,
it didn't matter if it were sought
meaningless.
And it damn well didn't matter to me
if I made this wish left penniless.
So, I threw it all, all the change I had.
Even if the medal scarred the skies.
If it could just come true, and you'd
be with me... the stars inside your
eyes.
Then the scorn would be worth it,
and I could handle all of the cruel.
And I will be waiting for you, my
darlings, by this simple sparkling
pool.
May day basket where are you?
I opened my door this morning and
you were nowhere to be found.
Mommy forgot to put you there,
Grandma told me that when she
was a little girl, you were there
on her door step every May 1.
Grandma also told me of all the
pretty flowers and candy and
other nice things that were
inside a most beautiful basket.
Later mommy told me, we don't do
that any more sweetheart, those
days are gone forever.

On Monday…..
I grilled a grizzly groaning garoar
Which I’d encountered glued to the floor
So I’d taken it home
So I wasn’t alone
But now the poor thing is no more!
On Tuesday…..
I baked a bold bellied bereat
Which I’d encountered squashed on a seat
I did try to lend
And make him my friend
But of course in the end I had to eat!
On Wednesday…..
I fried a ferocious furry feremendoo
Which I’d encountered swimming round me loo
This chap made me smile
But for only a while
Then I found him so difficult to chew!
On Thursday…..
I poached a prickly patterned paragoof
Which I’d encountered perched on me roof
His feet were all funny
His breath smelt of honey
I’m sure that’s why he’s still stuck in me tooth!
On Friday…..
I roasted a rude rolling rackee
Which I’d encountered whilst fishing at sea
It’s skin was all hard
I needn’t much lard
And he still turned out lovely and crispy!
On Saturday…..
I woked a wiggly walking winnibower
Which I’d encountered wondering just past noon hour
He was covered in fleas
Jabbering Chinese
And by far the best companion of sweet and sour!
On Sunday…..
I steamed a silent stiggle sparan
Which I’d encountered stuck fast to me gran
I know at this rate
I wont gain a mate
But for sure I’ll always have a full pan!

The black kitten that sat on my knee.
Suddenly looked up and said to me.
"I am feeling hungry my good man".
"Please will you open up a tin can".
"Beef or rabbit, any kind of meat".
"Anything to give me a tasty treat".
"If you do this, I do intend",
"To always be your very best friend".
I scratched the black kitten on the head.
Thought for a while, and then I said.
"I know that I well fed you today".
"So please do not look up at me that way".
"Looking at me with green eyes so sad".
"You are only trying to make me feel bad".
"So it will not work, that look of sorrow".
"You will just have to wait until tomorrow".
One day I asked my Mommy and Daddy if we could go to the zoo.
They said, “Sure, we will go to the zoo some day, just not today. Today we are too busy doing other things.”
Then, a few days later I asked them again.
They said, “Of course we can, Dear, some day. But right now we are too busy. Maybe some other day.”
So, a few days later I asked once again, “Mommy, Daddy, can we go to the zoo?”
They said, “Yes, Honey, we can go to the zoo some day, but Mommy and Daddy are too busy to take you there today. Maybe some other day.”
This made me mad.
I stomped my feet. I clinched my hands into fists. I made a very sad face. And, I yelled, “That’s what you always say! You always say some day! Well, when does some day get here!?”
Mommy and Daddy were not happy with my behavior. They told me I was being naughty. They told me I had to sit on the naughty spot.
So, I sat on the naughty spot.
But, I did not cry. I did not pout. I did not even feel very sad.
Instead, I went to the zoo by myself. I went to my very own Imaginary Zoo.
In some zoos there are soaring eagles. But in my imaginary zoo I saw oaring seagulls. They were in row boats in the middle of the lake.
Some zoos have snapping turtles. But my imaginary zoo had tapping snurtles. Have you ever seen a snurtle in tap shoes before? They were very good.
I have heard that many zoos have funny monkeys. The zoo I went to had money funkies. One funky gave me a ten dollar bill.
Some regular zoos have laughing hyenas. My imaginary zoo had halfing lyenas. They were chopping wood in half and then saying that they did not do it. I think that was a lie.
The Prayer of an Orphan Child
Silver clouds silver clouds
Will you play with me as a mate?
As an orphan,
none is there to play with me.
Ivory moon. My Sweety
will you kiss me to bid good night?
As a motherless child
to remember Her love.
Jasmine buds ,Jasmine buds
Will you smile in morning times
to stay in your beauty and
to keep your smile always
Chilly breeze My Darling!
Will you raise me from my bed?
to enjoy the sweetness of dawns and
to pray Him for giving my thanks
How was I to ever know?
That I only believed that I’d truly was in love with you so
Oh how that belief was so real to me
Now I see I was only but a fool to believe
For years you mostly mistreated me
I took you in to my heart, mind, and soul
I brought you into my home
With a slow swiftness you took over control
You took over the role of “daddy” to my little girl
The one with whom you’ve single handedly wrecked her world
You said you loved me
But that was nothing but a lie
You said you wanted to marry me
So many damn times
I couldn’t take it anymore
And I said, to you, goodbye
You were taking her life
And tearing it down
Breaking her so she felt hopeless lying on the ground
You took my little girls innocence
And threw it in her face
Now none of what she has lost can ever be replaced
Although you gave me two other beautiful children
It came with a stiff hefty price
Because your soul is dead
Your heart cold as ice
Not only did you rob her of all that was pure
You made me feel I had to give my son up because he wasn’t yours
You took and pushed away all my family and friends
Your rein of terror just never does seems to end
The mind games you played
Were horrid and sick
You could be loving then snap
And turn into a demonic devil that quick
You lied to me, hit me, and messed with my mind
You tormented, tortured me and cheated on me
As you laid by my side

I pray that one day this loneliness inside me will fade away i pray that we will meet one day

lifes highway i pray that i don't have to count the years until i see you again i pray that your
love for me will not fade in the years until we meet again i pray that the memories that you
have of me will always stay and never fade away i pray that the tears of sadness i cry for
you today will be tears of joy and happiness when next we meet again

MOON
I’m appears in the sky
In the dark and after the dusk.
In the morning sun gives a light
To the celestial world
People cannot watch the sun
Through his eyes constantly
In the pleasantful night with
Breezy air, enveloped them
They look upon me, there they thought
I’m the moon, a superlative person
Only can walk in the firmament
With his twinkling pal
Yes, I’m that, what you said?
In the celestial world, child’s mother
Points me and tell me about
A story to children, for a good sleep
Once a time in firmament I seen
As a half moon, there the
Child thought, that is
“hey moon, are you crest fallen or
Somebody broken you” why
Are you seen as half moon, he asked childishly
I thought, there is one child for me
To take care of me, playing with me
Ridiculing with me, for ever,
Yes, it will for ever
He asked me, that is
“hey moon, the sun shines in the morning
And I can’t see his friends,” why can’t you?
I said “my moppet, he is dangerous
He fatal his friends soon, if they near
Not like that me. Yes, I’m not shining
But I’m always with my twinkling friends
And you too for ever.
