The Jerk

I did not lose.
There’s just no way.
I played a perfect
game today.

Have You Heard?
©1992 Susan Noyes Anderson
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?
Bathtime Buddies
©1995 Susan Noyes Anderson
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.
Potty Trainer

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

My sister loves to feed the birds.
They come from miles around.
She offers them a place to nest
and birdseed by the pound.
