I wrote another poem!

Hooray! Chris said I wrote an important kind of poem called a Haiku! A Haiku is 5-7-5, and this way of writing a poem makes listeners feel very good. I guess it is pretty rare to write a Haiku on accident, so maybe I am all-right at this! I'm sorry, I don't want to brag. I will just include my next poem, which I also hope is a Haiku. It is about what might happen on an exciting day in the back yard!

A Day In The Back Yard!

Read a book,
see a snake!
Run away,
from the snake!

See a bird?
Throw some bread!
Hit the bird?
He is dead!

Time for lunch!
Run inside.
Milky Ways
& su-i-cide!*

Poem!

Hooray! Chris said that he would give me fifty cents and a grape if I would write a poem today!

I was not sure what to write a poem about but after a little thinking I decided I would write a poem about fish.

Here is my poem!

- * -

THE FISH

The fish doesn't blink
He holds still in the water
He has health problems.

- * -

A lot of times it is easy to tell that a fish has health problems. If you agree to help fish with health problems, you can do a lot of good! From just community involvement to working with major companies to clean up coastlines, you can make a difference. Call the volunteers at PESCO-INTL today. Or look for them on-line.

Bath Day!

Chris said it was Bath Day today! First they put the baby into the sink in her little softy-seat and they rinsed her real nice with warm water and real gentle shampoo. After that Chris got her dry-off towel out of the dryer so it was nice and toasty hot and they wrapped her up and went to put her jammies on! I got undressed next and sat in the nice warm softy-seat and waited my turn. They took a long time getting the baby ready and the water started to cool off so I turned the hot water faucet on just a little bit to keep me warm. I sang some songs and I was in a good mood.

After another long time they still did not come in and pretty soon I heard some snoring from the other room, plus the squeaks the baby makes when she sleeps. They had all gone to bed!

I have never felt so dumb. I was super ashamed that I thought I was going to get a bath too. I crawled quietly out of the sink so that no one would realize what I did, only I fell really hard onto the floor (because of soap slipperiness) and my shoulder is sore now. Fortunately nobody heard me and I went and dried off with the only thing I could find, which was a kitchen towel that smelled like onions and peanut butter (in different places).

Today was not a good day for me. I should act my age. I am extremely ashamed of what I thought.
