The kids and I have been brainstorming back and forth about a "ferret named Garrett with a friend parrot" for some time now. Yesterday was a glorious day and with Chris off doing work stuff we spent the whole morning outside playing and just enjoying the day. At one point I went in and grabbed some paper to write down our "Garrett ferrett" poem. I was glad I did because we all had a blast working out rhyming words and plot ideas. We even ended up with a Nora and Ian poem too.
"Garrett the Ferret"
Garrett the ferret
had a friend parrot
who had a fine carrot
but wouldn't share it.
Garrett saw the carrot
and couldn't compare it.
It looked so amazing
He couldn't bear it.
The parrot said, I can't tear it.
The parrot said, I can't dare it.
The parrot said, I can't wear it.
You are such a good friend,
I will share it.
"Nora and Dora"
Nora and Dora had a fedora.
Nora and Dora needed one more-a.
They cut and they clipped.
The sewed and they snipped,
and all through the night
they worked by candle light
to finish the fedora for Laura.
"Ian"
Ian the alian bein'
from the scientists was fleein'
he kept them from seein'
by pretending he was peein'
and live the rest of his life, a Korean.
