Surfing

I feel the cold, icy, blue crashing water underneath my board
I smell the fresh, cold, salty water through my nose
I see the giant blue waves coming toward me
I taste the salty water on my tongue
I hear giant waves crashing into rocks
Surfing!

Baby fruit bats are white
They grow up and fly at night
They hang in caves upside-down
When they’re adults, they are brown

Papi Is Happy

Papi was playing with me today
We like to sing our way
I play the piano and my dad plays the drums
My mom sings
Then my brother comes
Then we get tired
And Papi gets fired
Because he had too much fun

What the Hippos Saw

As the hippos ate their plants
On the marsh marched a group of ants
One-by-one they slowly fell
Leaving the hippos a story to tell

A Lacrosse Limerick

There’s a game that I like called lacrosse
You see, at it I am pretty boss
I so hate to lose
(did you see my big bruise?)
But we won, and that’s no dross

Gymnastics

When I do gymnastics I feel the thrill of landing a back handspring
I see my knees when I jump up and do a back flip because I tuck into a ball
I hear the floor when I land my round-off, thud!
I taste the lemon-lime Gatorade when I gulp it down when I take a break
I smell the sweaty stink of the stinky gym when I walk in
Gymnastics
