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 Mr. Johnson’s class (4^th grade):

 

My Classmates Are So Talented!

 

Joshua can burp the ABCs.

Mr. Johnson can dunk the basketball.

Joshua can stay under water for twenty seconds.

Keri can put her legs over her shoulders.

David M. can make strong smells in strange places.

David B. can’t stop giggling.

Jason can bark like a walrus.

Justin can trumpet like an elephant.

Lindsey can sleep all day.

Endi can throw up his pizza.

Keri can wiggle her ears.

My classmates are so talented, we ought to put on a talent show (and write a poem about it).
