My brother’s being potty trained.
I’m really very glad.
Changing diapers isn’t fun, and
messy pants smell bad.

Sound Off!

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.
Button Nose

My mom has always told me that
I have a button nose.
Today it’s running like a stream
and spraying like a hose.
Dinosaur Ratings

I like the brontosaurus
and tyrannosaurus rex.
The diplodocus thrills me
and eoraptors never vex.
For the Birds
©1991 Susan Noyes Anderson
My sister loves to feed the birds.
They come from miles around.
She offers them a place to nest
and birdseed by the pound.
Easy as 1-2-3

(Is anybody home in there?)
(Is anybody home in there?)I do not like arithmetic.
The numbers turn out wrong.
My twos and threes end up where
fives and sixes should belong.
Guess What!

What’s the most important thing of all?
It’s sometimes big and sometimes small.
It’s full of girls (or maybe boys)
and makes an awful lot of noise.
Tall, Dark and Furry
©1991 Susan Noyes Anderson
What’s tall and dark and furry,
has big teeth, but still acts tame?
Our M – O – N – S – T – E – R …
(Sssh! He can’t stand that name.)
