My Hero

My hero is the kind of guy
who hang glides upside down,
who skis on one ski, backwards,
and yells “Score!” when he falls down.
My hero is the kind of guy
who hang glides upside down,
who skis on one ski, backwards,
and yells “Score!” when he falls down.
I did not lose.
There’s just no way.
I played a perfect
game today.
A noisy noise annoys an oyster,
(a little known fact, yet true).
But a rackey racket attracts a raccoon;
does that make any sense to you?
When baby brother took a bath,
I used to get in, too.
I’d help my mommy hold him up
while he got his shampoo.
My brother’s being potty trained.
I’m really very glad.
Changing diapers isn’t fun, and
messy pants smell bad.
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.
My mom has always told me that
I have a button nose.
Today it’s running like a stream
and spraying like a hose.
I like the brontosaurus
and tyrannosaurus rex.
The diplodocus thrills me
and eoraptors never vex.
