Good-bye, Destiny!
HAIKU BY DESTINY
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
FOR MS. TOMASSINI—
BURPING LIMERICK
Gray Westerly burps like a champ.
He burped so much he got a cramp.
The doctor said, Stop!
Or your stomach will pop
Then on Gray’s lips Doc put a clamp
HAPPY HEAD LICE AWARENESS MONTH!
To keep the critters from our hair
Hats and combs we mustn’t share.
They’re hard to see, those lousy lice
The adults like a grain of rice.
So if your scalp you have been scratching
It might mean teeny lice are hatching.
Then to the nurse you must repair
To let her check your itchy hair.
And if they’re calling your head home
You’ll need a special kind of comb
And shampoo to destroy those lice.
That’s all of my lice advice!
A LETTER
Dear Chuckling Goose,
I think I’ll like you
But I wonder if you’ll like me?
Mom says I’m impulsive
Gray calls me cranky
But I know there’s more I can be.
If the world I could shake
With a cake that I bake
I’d feed everybody a share.
And when all ate their fill
They’d be full of good will
So that for Mother Earth they would care.
