Bruce Lansky, “The King of Giggle Poetry,” visited Roanoke Avenue Elementary School in Riverhead, NY on April 20^th, 2009. Here are some of the fun poems they wrote together…

 

A poem written by Ms. Adla’s class (4^th grade):

 

Rules for My Dog

 

Don’t bark when I’m sleeping.

Don’t eat off my plate.

When grandpa goes fishing,

don’t eat all his bait.

 

Don’t drool on my slippers.

Don’t chase your own tail.

Do not bite the mailman

or we won’t get mail.

 

Don’t tackle my brother

‘cause he’s such a wimp.

Don’t nip at my ankles,

‘cause you’ll make me limp.
