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. Bergeron’s and Ms. Sheridan’s classes:

I Wish My Brother Wouldn’t

I wish my brother wouldn’t pick his nose and eat the pickings at the dinner table.
I wish my brother wouldn’t push me down the stairs.
I wish my brother wouldn’t punch me in my “no no” zone.
I wish my brother wouldn’t play “bang, bang, you’re dead.”
I wish my brother wouldn’t throw his toys at me when I’m sleeping.
I wish my brother wouldn’t kick me in the shins under the dinner table.
I wish my brother wouldn’t call me “doofus.”
I wish my brother wouldn’t leave a fake spider in my underwear drawer.
But when my brother makes me laugh, he brightens up my day.
