SAMPLE POEM 1 Mary Had a Little Dog Mary had a little dog.
Its fur was black as night.
And everyone that Mary met
The dog was sure to bite. It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule.
The dog bit Mary’s teacher’s leg,
So they threw her out of school

SAMPLE POEM 2 There's a New Cook In the Cafeteria Good morning, staff and students.
We have a brand new cook.
And that’s why our lunch menu
will have a brand new look. To make a good impression,
our cook’s prepared a treat:
your choice of snapping turtle soup
or deep-fried monkey meat. If you’re a vegetarian,
we have good news today:
she’s serving pickled cauliflower
and jellyfish soufflé. And for dessert our cook has made
a recipe from France:
I’m sure you’ll all want seconds—
of chocolate-covered ants. I hope you like this gourmet feast.
I hope you won’t complain.
But if you do we’ll have to bring
our old cook back again.
