Elephant, Elephant
Elephant, elephant, elephant
You lovely mighty creature
The children are fond of you
We all love you
Sweetly we adore
You little cute giant
All the day you are busy
In peace relaxing
and munching bales of food
You have an awesome trunk
one of a kind we all admire
You use it for drinking
and helping to feed
You have ivory great tusks
and use it as a useful tool
You are a star of the circus
and perform great acts
Your earn your wages
With sacks of peanuts
Stacks of hay
and bundles of sugar canes
History wrote much about you
leader in great battles
You were fearless and warrior
and enemy look at you with awe
In India they honor you
and fancy you with roses
and colorful ornaments
wearing beautiful garments
Worship you and calling you
Our lord Ganesha

Sherif Monem Poem
I have fun with the world of geometry
The square, the rectangle and the parallelogram
Oh' the trapezoid and the rhombus
The triangles, the isosceles and the equilateral
All are a great tight family together
The circles and ellipses are closely related
The formulas of geometry try to memorize
The areas and circumferences
The diagonals and angles
For the trigonometric functions
You discover a new world
The sines and cosines
The tangents and arc tangents
If all this is not enough to entice you
Most probably now you fell in love with geometry

Sherif Monem Poem
Lion you are awesome king
The king of the jungle
You are a mighty one
You are the feared by many
Your roar is loud and scary
It echoes all around
through the prairies and safaris
The animals are frightened when they hear it
They run and hide for their lives
You follow them in pursuit
Hungry, hungry for a meal
This is your way for survival
Your crown golden hair is majestic
It shows pride and attract lioness
Your jaw and canine are crushing
At day light you rest and have a nab
At the night you are awake and ready
scouting for a prey
Long, long live you lion
You still the king of the jungle

Sherif Monem Poem
George Washington is founder of our nation
He was born in time so early in our country
His story starts as a young man with ambitions
He was handsome tall man with grate ideals
He loved chivalry, horses and swordsmanship
He came from a family of English ancestry
who lived in Virginia for many generations
His family was fine but not of riches and fortune
He lived time when the British ruled the land
His first task in his life that brought him fame
was arduous trip to deliver message to the French
To leave and evacuate the large Ohio territory
The French defiantly and stubbornly reused
Defeating George Washington in some battle
George Washington learned from mistakes
After many numerous battles of win and defeat
George Washington returned to Virginia
He owned huge estate in Mount Vernon
He through his wife owned many slaves
He was much occupied running this huge fortune
He watched in the mean time what is happening
Great resentment of the British was building
No taxation without presentation was battle cry
After the Boston massacre and calls for actions
It was all obvious military campaign was a must
George Washington was chosen to be the commander
of newly formed all volunteer Continental army
He showed great perseverance and leadership
When finally he won and the British rule ended
There was a new country called the United states
All different factions agreed he will be the president

Sherif Monem Poem
I love the month of May
It is the month of flowers
Thanks for the April showers
It brought us this garden full of colors
The month of May is outstanding
It is the fifth month of the year
January, February, March and April have passed
Soon June will come signalling
Half year have almost have gone
I do not like the months pass so quickly
Let us enjoy them as sweet and no hurry
Lets have happiness and joy
Lets enjoy the sun and the breeze
So month of May be slow to go
The month of May reminds of flowers
The marigold, the Azalea and the Yasmin

Sherif Monem Poem
It was brief and short sad moment of time
That still flashes and rings in the painful memory of the country
Enjoying and his wife Mary Todd the play 'Our American Cousin'
In the midst of the laughter and roar of the audience
A southerner John Wilkes Booth full of anger, rancor and revenge
He entered the Lincoln's lounge hitting the president by a bullet
It was fatal and landed in the back of Lincoln's head
The assassin jumped from the balcony and injured his leg
Outside the theater he fled on a horse heading to the south
Two weeks later he met his end
A single bullet of Sergeant Boston Corbett hitting him in the head
Trapped in a burning barn of a Virginia farm laid dead
The assassination of Abraham Lincoln opened a new wound
to a nation whose wounds did not heal yet from long civil war
The irony Abraham Lincoln death was at the peak of his triumph
A long thought victory after many years of bruising civil war
A nation united again and looking for the future
Ending centuries of slavery and humiliation of blacks in chains
A promise to bringing dignity and honor for all mankind races
Opening the long road for full equality and Justice
A holy struggle for all to live in peace and harmony
For all who share the land of America and call it their home

Sherif Monem Poem
Uvalde a small town in Texas
Distance away from San Antonio
not well known about by many
In a fateful day Uvalde, Uvalde
Hits the news, media and nation
Tragedy struck real hard
The sitting was an elementary school
A devil intruder with machine guns
Seeking blood, murder and gore
In class room he started shootings
Victims of young age of ten lost lives
Two innocent teachers joined the list
The town mourned the victims
Prayers and vigil were conducted
A sad day for Uvalde, Texas and America

Sherif Monem Poem
Hillary a lady with a great ambition
She wanted to be the boss of the nation
She dreamed to be president of USA
She ran a grueling campaign
She knocked opponents in succession
She met finally with one remaining obstacle
A tough guy from her city of Chicago
His name Barack Hussein Obama
They ran neck to neck for a while
His slogan was 'Yes We Can'
He mesmerized the crowds
As the race progressed
He streaked ahead
He finally won the race
With big smile he won the prize
Hillary Clinton had her place
In the history books and pages
Her name will be engraved
As the first lady
Who almost reached the top

Sherif Monem Poem
The Titanic the luxury steamship
Fabulously built and true legend
On her maiden joyous voyage
Crossing the North Atlantic ocean
From the port of Southampton, England
to the new world and New York city
Fate suddenly struck with drama
At the dawn of a new century
In a moonless dark night
In early April 14, 1912
Tragedy visited in bold letters
There were many icebergs around
The ship collided with a hidden one
The captain realized what had happened
There were calls for quick evacuation
Women and children were first to leave
The water was dark, chilly and icy
There were few lifeboats for rescue
The passengers were in total panic
Many jumped off the shipboard
to their doom and drowned
Others from hypothermia soon died
Calls for ships in the close area
Please come in hurry and help
Telegraphic signals were sent
The Titanic sank in few hours
A tragic page of history unfolded
More than 1500 lives sadly perished
The first ship came to rescue
more than two hours too late
The frightened passengers on lifeboats
were pulled up and luckily saved
The raging waters beneath
showed no mercy or care
Across the other side of the ocean
At New York city port
friends and relatives
all were anxiously waiting
The sinking of the Titanic
news soon reached them
Each praying their loved ones
have been miraculously rescued
The Titanic tragic sinking
still remembered to our days
Titanic stories are recounted
Books written and movies made
