Poem #1:
The wind between the clouds drifts softly,
as our plane rumbles roughly,
through the silky cloudy.
Fly, fly, my little plane,
as we fly by a train,
roaring loud as the steely wheels turn around
the ground vibrated from the sound.
The birds unaware of the buzzing roar
as they dive, dip & soar.

Poem #2:
There was once a man from Nantucket
that had a chicken named Clucket.
He also had a dog
Named Chucket who followed a Rocket.
Run, Run, doggy dog.
Go find a loggy log.
Because you’re a dog,
said the frog,
in the bog,
beside the log

Poem #3:
Jolly Holly hopped hinting humbly,
mumbling while she was stumbling
on the path that was rumbling.
As mumbling Holly met bumbling Bob,
his sad face caused her to sob
at the corn ‘n’ a cob
while they robbed Bob.
Bob got robbed
which made him lose his job.
Then Bob got another job
Now he never has to sob
about losing his old job.

Poem #4:
Green frogs danced from pad to pad
as they had with their dad
which is very, very sad
when they do it without their mother.
The little ones like to sit on a rock
That I can see from my dock
Watch out little ones, for the hawk
you don’t want to be to its supper.
As they swim freely along
you can hear them croak their song
Merrily, merrily we all belong
To this great land and each other.
