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:

Don’t Play With Your Food

Don’t mush all your peas up.
Don’t dig in your taters.
Don’t bubble your milk.
Don’t throw your tomaters.’

Don’t fork your spaghetti
way up in the air,
‘cause it may slip off
and fall in your hair.

Don’t feed your dog spinach
‘cause he hates it too!
And when you eat liver,

make sure that you chew.

Don’t open your mouth
when you’re chewing your food.
It puts Mom and Dad
in a very bad mood.
