3. Flea
Recited by Connor
A flea known as Ralph
Swallowed a cow,
It‟s a mystery how,
And after the cow
He swallowed a horse
(a huge one, of course),
But with a giraffe
He ran out of luck,
Its legs got stuck.
It‟s impossible now
To understand Ralph
Wif giraffe in hif mouf

5. Dinosaur Dinner
Recited by Isabella

Gobbled up the table,
„Cause they wouldn‟t pay their checks

11. My Snowball
Recited by Burke
I made myself a snowball
as perfect as could be,
I thought I‟d keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.

And a pillow for its head,
Then, last night, it ran away,
But first . . . it wet the bed.

Because I like it that way!

15. Iguana

Recited by Carson
I‟m glad I‟m me. I‟m glad I‟m me.
There‟s no one else I want to be.
I‟m happy I‟m the person who

Would feel so strange, I‟d wonder why,
I‟m positive that I‟d be sad-
But I am me. And I am glad.

I like to play in water,
And if I were a fish,

And the Mother Fish would only say,
“Now, don‟t- get- dry!”

44. If
Recited by Shelby
If I were a bear,
I would never hear,
“Please put on your
snowsuit, dear.”
I would never wear mittens,
Or boots, or a cap!
But Mom says a bear takes a
Long winter nap!
So I guess I won‟t be a
Bear today.
I‟ll just put on my boots
And hop out to play.
