Contest Description

What to Submit? 10 LINES or less.

I love my job as a bus monitor for the special needs kids. So I am looking for LIGHT HEARTED poem about kids. It could be your kids, your grandkids, your classroom full of kids if you are a teacher, or the kids at your church.  Write a *light hearted* poem about "normal" kids or about "special needs kids." 

What I will not accept is anything about what Trump is doing to the Department of Education. I frankly don't care what anyone has to say about that. And to be clear that includes if we share a common opinion.

One idea you could use is: *Kids say the darnest things. Other idea includes just a fun poem about something silly a kid you personally know has done or maybe even a nursery rhyme that loves on kids.  Most of all write something fun and light.

1 original, poem on the theme of .............
Any form is acceptable.
