Brooke's Animal Poem

Last week the girls and I were headed out from home to visit the zoo. Brooke had jumped out of the car to get the gate for mommy and was watching the squirrels jump from tree to tree. She made up a little song and started singing it when she got back in the car. I was so impressed and encouraged her to make up some more verses. Here is what she came up with, ALL ON HER OWN!


Oh, I want to be a squirrel,
Oh, I want to be a squirrel
I would swing from the trees and feel the nice breeze
Oh, I want to be a squirrel

Oh, I want to be a snake,
Oh, I want to be a snake
I would slither around on the hard ground
Oh, I want to be a snake

Oh, I want to be a bird,
Oh, I want to be a bird
I would flap so high in the blue sky
Oh, I want to be a bird.

Brooke's teacher, Mrs. Krepfle, has sent home information on a poetry contest for kids, so we typed up her song and entered it HERE.
