Sound Off!
©1998 Susan Noyes Anderson, Miles of Smiles, Meadowbrook Press
Our bodies sound off all the time.
What noises we can make!
It happens when we’re fast asleep,
or when we’re wide awake.
Hands clap and slap, and fingers snap.
We cough and sneeze and snore.
Our hungry stomachs growl for food,
then rumble for some more.
Our feet tap and our bones go pop.
Our lips smack and they slurp.
But most unusual of all
is when our bottoms burp!
