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 Ms. Osterland’s and Mrs. Cavanaugh’s classes:

 

The Adventures of the Oreo Cookie Monster

Oreo cookies,
I love them so well.
I eat three or four when
I hear the lunch bell.

And then in the lunchroom,
I eat twenty more.
I’m feeling so heavy,

I crash through the floor.

Then back in the classroom,
my teacher says, “Please,
can I have a cookie?
Or I’ll give you ‘D’s.”

I give her a cookie.
It is my last one.
The teacher is happy,

‘cause I am her son.

I need some more cookies.
I go to the store.
I bring home a package.
Then take a big snore.
