Toes in My Nose - Bruce Lansky

I bet that I could do it.My friends all said, "No way." And now my toes are in my nose,So they will have to pay.

They each owe me a dollar.Of that there is no doubt.There's just one problem.I cannot get them out.

Mother Doesn't Want a Dog- Bruce Lansky

Mother doesn't want a dog.Mother says they smell, And never sit when you say sit,Or even when you yell.

 And when you come home late at night

 And there is ice and snow,You have to go back out becauseThe dumb dog has to go.

Mother doesn't want a dog.Mother says they shed, And always let the strangers in 

 And bark at friends instead,

 And do disgraceful things on rugs,  And track mud on the floor,

 And flop upon your bed at night And snore there, doggy snore.

Mother doesn't want a dog.She's making a mistake.Because, more than a dog, I thinkShe will not want this snake.

My friend Sue and I rode the train to Duke Lake. It rained that day, so I wore my coat, but

Sue forgot hers and she got a cold. Her nose was red and her feet were tired, but we hadfun. We played with our bikes and flew kites in the wind. Sue hates peas so our meal wasof fruit and juice with five ice cubes. I think next year, I will take a jet or a boat.

English is a Pain! (Pane?) Shirlee Curlee Bingham 

Rain, reign, rein,English is a pain. Although the wordsSound just alike,The spelling's not the same!

Bee, be, BI'd rather climb a tree,Than learn to spellThe same old word,Not just one way, but three!

Sight, site, cite,I try with all my might.No matter which

I finally choose,It's not the one that's right!

There, their, they're,Enough to make you swear.Too many waysTo write one sound,I just don't think it's fair!

To, two, too,So what's a kid to do?

I think I'll goTo live on Mars, And leave this mess with ewe!(you?)
