Poetry by Alex

Alex has been writing poems lately. It's kind of strange to think my eight-year old is writing poems. The funny thing is that they really aren't that bad. You know...for a kid. Actually, it's probably better than what I could come up with. But then again, I really don't like poetry. Josh, being a fan of poetry, is pretty happy that his kid is interested in the subject. So without further ado, I give you the poetry of Alex. (I will leave in his spelling for your entertainment. Think phonics.)

A Mummy that's a Dumby

By: Alex

Once there was a mummy that was a dumby.

He was not a chubby that patted his tummy.

But he patted his tummy.

But he was a dumby,

that old chubby mummy.

 A Shark in the Dark

By: Alex

Once there was a shark named Clark.

Clark lived in an aquarium.

Clark had a brother named Bark.

And a sister named Fark.

Clark played in a park.

An animal that was at the park was a shark.

But we were in the dark.

A Frankenstein Named Frank

By: Alex

Once there was a Frankenstin named Frank.

He had a tank that drove to the bank.

And he had a dog that stank.

Frank alwas got a spank.

But the spank did not hurt.
