On my way to school today
I think I’ll stay in bed
And that was that
If you ask me
Why does it have to be me?
I laughed and giggled all day
Student Example:
Why Me?
It's me when I
have to pick up dog poo.
It's me when I have to take
out the trash.
Me, me, always me
Why does it have to be me?
It's me when I have company.
It's me when I have birthdays.
Me, me, always me
Why does it have to be me?
It's me when I am late.
It's me when I have
a bad grade.
Me, me, always me
Why does it have to be me?

Learning, Laughing, Lunch
ReplyDeleteOn my way to school today
I wondered what would happen
Learning
Laughing
Lunch
On my way to school today
I thought about what we would learn
Math, Science, Social Studies
On my way to school today
I day-dreamed about laughing with my friends
We would crack up and couldn't stop
On my way to school today
I thought about the hot, steamy smell of...
LUNCH!!
The Giggles
ReplyDeleteMy Friend leaned over for me to hear
and whispered in my ear
a joke told by a comedian
I laughed and giggled all day
In Science I studied an Antidote
but then I thought of that joke
the teacher got mad
cause I laughed and giggled all day
During Social Studies
My friend smiled and gave me a poke
it made me think of that joke
the teacher got mad
cause I laughed and giggled all day
Through the pokes and antidotes
I thought of that Joke for the rest of the day
and hooted and hollered all the way
I laughed and giggled all day
My hair is a mess,
ReplyDeleteso is my breath
I think I'll stay in bed
My stomach hurts,
my clothes are wrinkled
I think I'll stay in bed
Frank is a bully
Lucille is mad at me
I think I'll stay in bed!
Waking up on the firdt day of school
ReplyDeleteI don't want to go
Don't want to learn or get assighnments
I think I will stay in bed
The smell of bacon on the tip of my nose
Making me want to get up
My cat laying on my head
I think I will stay in bed
It's me when I miss a ball.
ReplyDeleteIt's me when I slip and fall.
why me?
It's me when I break a string.
It's me when I roll in grass and get a sting.
why me?
Why is it me?
