We haven't written much poetry, except for limericks and haiku (the ones I like best, my friend Kai says are really called "senryu") but I don't think I'm very good at writing poems. I'm not vmrphgd ab bmkingk cookies, either (sorry, I know I shouldn't talk with my mouth full, Miss Vivian) but I hope Miss Vivian will teach me how to make some of these.

My Mom and Dad would tan my hide for sure if I tried that!<br /><br />I can't wait to visit your blog tomorrow, too.<br /><br />Mr. Jan, you never read Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle? She's so funny. She has all these great "cures" for stuff little kids do, like not cleaning their rooms or eating really sloooooowly or talking back to their moms and dads or not wanting to take baths... My mom gave me some of her books. I think maybe it was a hint about my room. 'cause I like taking baths and Jimmy says I eat too fast, like a vacuum cleaner.<br /><br />Hi, mandja! I have so many stories to tell. Do you think she'll listen? Grown-ups are always telling us kids to listen, but sometimes they're not very good at it. Miss Holly says maybe she'll help me write down some more of my stories, if anyone wants to read them. <br /><br />Mr. DiTesco, I remember you. Miss Holly says you're helping tell people about A Puppy, Not a Guppy, too. Thanks! You think I'll get famous? That'd be SO cool! Jimmy would have a cow!
