January, January
Here it comes again.
Leaving behind 2009
For now it’s 2010!

N.E.

New Year’s Resolution

My new years resolution

Is one you’ll never guess.

I will be responsible—

To clean up every mess.

N.E.

New Year’s Resolution

My new year’s resolution

Is one I must remember—

I will say “please” and “thank you”

From now

Through next December.

N.E.

Martin Luther King

Let us speak and let us sing

To honor Martin Luther King.

The gentle wisdom

That made him strong,

With acts of peace—

We’ll carry on.

N.E.

Apples, Peaches, Pears, and Plums

Apples,  peaches,  pears,  and  plums,

Tell  me  when  your  birthday  comes?

January?  February?  March?  April?

May?  June?  July?  August?

September?  October?  November?

December?

I’m healthy, happy,

Feel fantastic—

Boy am I enthusiastic!

Wrinkled Heart

Before you speak,

Think and be smart.

It’s hard to fix

A wrinkled heart.

Optimistic—

That is me!

Things go well,

Just wait—you’ll see.

I Have a Snowman

I have a snowman.

My snowman wears a hat.

Snow and ice.

Ice and snow.

When you melt,

Where do you go?

Snowman

This is snowman happy.

This is snowman sad.

Now you see him mad.

This is snowman melting fast.

His snowman days

Will soon be past.

You don’t succeed;

Try, try again!
