Bruce Lansky, “The King of Giggle Poetry,” visited Ashley Elementary School in New Baltimore, MI on February 23^rd – 24^th, 2009. Here are some of the fun poems they wrote together…

A Poem by Mrs. Becker’s and Mrs. Harrington’s classes:

I Wish My Dog Wouldn’t

I wish my dog wouldn’t snore when he sleeps.
I wish my dog wouldn’t bite the mailman.
I wish my dog wouldn’t lick my face before he’s brushed his teeth.
I wish my dog wouldn’t scratch me on my legs if my legs don’t itch.
I wish my dog wouldn’t bark every time a car drives by my house, because we live on a very busy street.
But I know my dog loves me when he snuggles with me in my bed at night.
