April Songs and Poems

I Love Trash

By Jeff Moss

Oh, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty

Yes, I love trash

I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn

It's all full of holes and the laces are torn

A gift from my mother the day I was born

I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty

Yes, I love trash

I have here some newspaper thirteen months old

I wrapped fish inside it; it's smelly and cold

But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold!

I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty

Yes, I love trash

I've a clock that won't work

And an old telephone

A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone

And I am delighted to call them my own!

I love them because they're trash

Oh, I love trash!

Anything dirty or dingy or dusty

Anything ragged or rotten or rusty

Yes, I love, I love, I love trash!

A Day At A Time

By Ellie Goulding

I wanna drink from the clearest water,
I wanna eat the things I ought to.
I'm just one, I know, but I feel strong, you know.
I wanna reach the greatest mountain,
climb if I want without all the shouting.
I'm just one, I know, but I feel strong, you know.
Clouds really should be white, at least,
and oceans should meet us at the beach.
And I don't want to overreach but,
I know what's in store,
from love life a day at a time.
Go love life a day at a time.
Go love
Love

SPRING

By Kaitlyn Guenther

So many flowers are blooming.

Petite little squirrels come out to play.

Really big bears awake from their slumbers.

Imaginative children enjoy a walk with their friends.

No tree is left standing without any leaves.  So

Go ahead, jump for joy because spring is here.

3-D Shapes

Author Unknown

3-D shapes are fat not flat

A cone is like a party hat.

A sphere is like a bouncy ball

A prism is like a building tall

A cylinder is like a can of pop.

A cube is like a dice your drop.

3-D shapes are here and there

3-D shapes are everywhere!

Tidepools and Anemones

By Stephen Swinburne

Tide pool soup is really good

it makes a delicious snack!

But be careful when you take a bite

this soup might bite you back!

Crabs will pinch and urchins poke

Tide-pool soup is no joke!

I live in this room close to the sea

Where the view is great and the food is free.
Some of the tenants come and go
Some I eat if they're too slow!
One end of me is firmly locked
the other end gently rocks!
I live in this room close to the sea
Oh what a life for an anemone!
