Playing Hopscotch On A Rubber Roof

Whether you're a kid or an adult or a little of both, you'll love the rhyming poems on this page.

They

including the ones you see below.

If you would like to help me get published, please write a letter of recommendation that I can forward to a publisher, and e-mail it to me. Thanks, and enjoy!

When You're First, You Don't Know Any Better

If the chicken came before the egg,
the first hen to lay one must have vowed
never again to lift her leg,
cuz when she did, her insides fell out.

But if the egg came before the chicken,
the chicken inside must've, under his breath,
sworn if he kept up his fussin' and kickin',
he'd scramble himself to death.

Sent To My Room

I broke a dish
and mom got mad.
She sent me to my room
because she said that I was bad.

So I'm sitting here
on my canope
with my stereo
and my color tv

and my favorite doll
and my 'lectric train
and my building blocks
and my video game,

And I'm wondering what
my mother meant
when she said my room
was a punishment.

Muncha Buncha Lunch

Muncha Buncha Lunch
is the nickname of a kid
who eats everybody's lunches
that aren't locked up or hid.

If you ever turn your back on him
for even half a minute,
when you turn back to your lunch box,
that ole Muncha Bunch is in it.

He eats chips and grapes and
pears and soup and sandwiches galore.
And when he's done with all of that,
he still can eat some more.

He munches, crunches, gulps and swallows
everything in sight.
He eats lunch for breakfast...dinner too,
and even at midnight.

I wonder what would happen
if somebody had a hunch
and sent all the school kids home at noon
except for Muncha Bunch.

Then whose bananas would he steal?
Whose pretzels would he take?
He'd probably end up eating all the chairs,
for goodness sake.

That Muncha Buncha's appetite
is just too big to stop.
Next time he tries to eat my lunch,
I'm gonna call a cop!

That will teach him not to be
so gluttonous and rude,
cuz then all he'll have left to eat
is yucky prison food!

My True Colors

When you color inside of coloring books,
you're supposed to stay inside the lines.
Use blue for the sky.
Use green for the grass.
And use red for all of the stop signs.

But when I color inside of my coloring books,
I make my own designs.
I make the sky yellow,
I make the grass orange,
and I never stay inside the lines.

Cuz it's more fun to color in coloring books
when the rules have been trampled and tossed.
Some horses look better
in purple and green,
and some lines are meant to be crossed.

Sounds Like It!

Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
Funny how it rhymes with clock.
Rub-a-dub, Rub-a-dub, Rub-a-dub, dub.
Funny how it rhymes with tub.

Plip, plop. Down the drain.
Funny how it rhymes with rain.
Splish, splash. Slip, slop.
Funny how it rhymes with mop.

Yummy, yummy. Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Funny how it rhymes with burp.

If words sound just like what they do,
what words, ya think, would rhyme with you?

What's Weird About A Mirror

What's weird about a mirror
is that I can never see
what my mirror looks like
without me.

I've peeked at it 'round corners
but my forehead I still see.
It still sees me.

I've hung down from the ceiling
by my ankles and my toes,
but it still knows.

I've tried to run right past it,
but as fast as I can go,
I still show.

What's weird about a mirror is
that I have never known
what my mirror looks like
all alone.

Animal Talk

I think that I've got it all figured out...
what animal talk is all about.

"Moo" means excuse me, that's my
milk you're takin'.
"Oink" means quit lookin' at me
like I'm bacon.

"Nay" means no shoes, no shirt,
no ride.
"Baa" means, gee lately it's
colder outside.

"Arf" means my tail
is my very best feature.
"Meow" means I'm such
an exquisite creature.

"Quack" means this water
is turning quite icy.
"Hiss" means you look
so delicious and spicy.

"Roarrr" means I am
the king of the beasts.
"Honk" means I am
the queen of the geese.

"Grrrr" means I'll eat you
when you go for a walk.
Boy am I glad
I speak animal talk!

A Grateful Centipede

A centipede won an award,
surrounded by hundreds of fans.
Though his speech only lasted a minute,
it took hours to shake all his hands.
