<title>When Frankenstein Was Just a Kid</title>
<link>http://www.poetry4kids.com/poem-453.html</link>
<description><pre><b>When Frankenstein Was Just a Kid</b>

When Frankenstein was just a kid,
he at his greens. It's true. He did!
He ate his spinach, salads, peas,
asparagus, and foods like these,
and with each leaf and lima bean
his skin became a bit more green.

On chives and chard he loved to chew,
and Brussels sprouts and peppers too,
until he ate that fateful bean
that turned his skin completely green.
He turned all green, and stayed that way
he now he frightens folks away.

Poor Frankenstein, his tale is sad,
but things need not have been so bad.
It's fair to say, if only he
had eaten much less celery,
avoided cabbage, ate no kale,
why, then, we'd have a different tale.

So, mom and dad, I'm here to say
please take these vegetables away
or my fate could be just as grim.
Yes, I could end up green like him.
So, mom and dad, before we dine,
please give a thought to Frankenstein.</pre><br />Copyright 2008 Kenn Nesbitt<br />All Rights Reserved</description>

<title>My Nostril Smells Awesome</title>
<link>http://www.poetry4kids.com/poem-452.html</link>
<description><pre><b>My Nostril Smells Awesome</b>

My nostril smells awesome inside of my nose,
a bit like the bloom of a newly-picked rose.
It started this morning--I couldn't say why--
and all day it's smelled like banana cream pie.

It has the aroma of freshly-baked bread
with hot melted butter and blackberry spread,
and maybe the breeze of a warm afternoon,
that follows a thunderstorm early in June.

It smells like a pine forest, right by a lake,
and chocolate chip cookies my mom likes to bake,
like kettle corn pop-popping over a fire,
and laundry, the moment it's out of the dryer.

My nostril smells awesome, so I have a plan
to sit and enjoy it as long as I can.
Don't ask how it happened; I really can't say.
Perhaps it's my finger that's smelling this way.</pre><br />Copyright 2008 Kenn Nesbitt<br />All Rights Reserved</description>

<description><pre><b>Juan and Tu<br>(A Tongue Twister)</b>

Juan ran races.
Tu ran too.
Tu won one and
Juan won two.

Hugh ran one with
Juan and Tu.
Hugh won none when
he ran too.

Who won two when
Tu won one?
Juan won two and
Hugh won none.</pre><br />Copyright 2008 Kenn Nesbitt<br />All Rights Reserved</description>

<title>Don't Ever Bite Your Sister</title>
<link>http://www.poetry4kids.com/poem-449.html</link>
<description><pre><b>Don't Ever Bite Your Sister</b>

Don't ever bite your sister.
Don't kick her in the shin.
Don't slap your sister silly
and don't sock her on the chin.

Don't tape a "Kick Me" poster
upon your sister's back.
Don't take your stinky socks off
and then put them in her pack.

Don't purchase plastic spiders
and place them on her head.
Don't leave your rubber rattlesnake
inside your sister's bed.
 
Don't do this to your sister
for, if you ever do,
I'm pretty sure she may do something
even worse to you.</pre><br />Copyright 2008 Kenn Nesbitt<br />All Rights Reserved</description>

<title>On the Thirty Third of Januaugust</title>
<link>http://www.poetry4kids.com/poem-448.html</link>
<description><pre><b>On the Thirty Third of Januaugust</b>

On the thirty third of Januaugust,
right before Octember,
a strange thing didn't happen
that I always won't remember.

At eleven in the afternoon,
while making midnight brunch,
I poured a glass of sandwiches
and baked a plate of punch.

Then I climbed up on my head to see
the silver sky of green,
and danced around my feet because
I'd turned eleventeen.

A parade began to end 
and music started not to play,
as rain came out and snowed all night
that warm and sunny day.

That was how it didn't happen
as I keenly don't remember,
on the thirty third of Januaugust,
right before Octember.

<title>Gabby's Baby Beagle&lt;br&gt;(A Tongue Twister)</title>
<link>http://www.poetry4kids.com/poem-447.html</link>
<description><pre><b>Gabby's Baby Beagle<br>(A Tongue Twister)</b>

Gabby bought a baby beagle
at the beagle baby store.
Gabby gave her beagle kibble,
but he begged for bagels more.

Gabby loved her baby beagle;
gladly Gabby gave him one,
but her beagle grabbed the bag and
gulped them down till there were none.

So she took her baby beagle
to the bagel baker's store,
where the beagle gobbled bagels,
bags of bagels by the score.

Gabby's beagle gorged on bagels,
bigger bagels than before,
till he'd gobbled every bagel
in the baker's bagel store.

Gulping bagels bulges baby
beagles' bellies really big.
Say goodbye to baby beagle;
Gabby's beagle's now a pig.</pre><br />Copyright 2008 Kenn Nesbitt<br />All Rights Reserved</description>

<description><pre><b>My Sister Kisses Thistles<br>(A Tongue Twister)</b>

My sister kisses thistles
she's a thistle kissing sis,
thus a thistle's itchy bristles
never miss my sister's kiss.

My sister wishes thistles
weren't as itchy to the kiss,
as the thistle's bristles itches
make my prissy sister hiss.

My sister's hisses whistle
as she kisses with a swish,
so my sister kisses thistles
with a thistle whistle wish.</pre><br />Copyright 2008 Kenn Nesbitt<br />All Rights Reserved</description>

<title>I'm Practically Perfect</title>
<link>http://www.poetry4kids.com/poem-444.html</link>
<description><pre><b>I'm Practically Perfect</b>

I'm practically perfect in every respect.
I haven't a flaw you could ever detect.
As soon as you know me I'm sure you'll agree
there's no one around who's as perfect as me.

I'm handsome and rich, with a generous heart.
I'm funny, and charming, and totally smart.
At school, in my classes, I only get A's.
I'm also athletic in so many ways.

My clothes are expensive. My hair is just right.
My teeth are all straight, and they're shiny and white.
I'm practically perfect. I'm sure you could tell.
And, oh, did I mention? I'm humble as well.</pre><br />Copyright 2008 Kenn Nesbitt<br />All Rights Reserved</description>
