Oops Oh My

These are the children's poems I wrote for my Children's Literature class. Feel free to hoo and haa all you want.

A long time ago in a far away land,
Lived an ogre who had two feet but not a hand.
He would try with all of his might,
All through the day and the night.
But he could never build a castle out of sand.



Icky bicky licky boo,
I love me and you love you.

Sicky quicky hicky hey,
The sun will rise again today.

Rummy gummy summy stew,
I love you if you love me too.

Fummy zummy mummy bite,
The sun will set when it is night.



The alarm goes off,
I try to lay very still.
I won’t have to go to school,
If my mother thinks I’m ill.

I think I have a fever.
I think I have the flu.
I think I have pneumonia.
I don’t know what to do.

I blame my big dirty brother.
He is just crawling with germs.
He keeps his room so messy,
I think it’s infested with worms.

My head feels so heavy.
My arm hurts so bad.
It’s about as inflated,
As my dad when he is mad!

My throat is swollen,
To the size of a basketball!
No I say,
I can’t go to school like this at all.

My mother pats me on the head,
She says “Sweetie, it’s okay,
I know you aren’t really sick
But don’t worry, it’s a snow day!”
