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…

Poems by Mrs. Becker’s and Mrs. Harrington’s classes:

Oreo Cookie Poem: Dunking an Oreo in Milk

First, I pour some milk into a glass.
Then, I dunk the cookie quickly in milk.
(If I dunk it too long, then it gets too squishy and too messy to eat.)
Then I eat the wet part that was in the milk.
Then I dunk the rest of the cookie in the milk, holding it by its edge.
Then I take that part out of the milk and eat it.

Oreo Cookie Poem: Breaking the Oreo Into Pieces

First, I break the cookie into little pieces.
Then I throw a piece up in the air and try to catch it in my mouth.
If I don’t catch it in my mouth, and the cookie is on the floor, I call my dog and tell him to eat it.
