I wish my dog could fly
I wish my dog could fly
I don’t know why
Maybe he’ll go
And find a 10 foot tall bone
Instead of us having to buy one for him
And he and me
Can go on vacation
Yay
And he could carry a car
sooooooo
Everyone can
Go on vacation
Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!

Rhyming is overrated.
Rhyming poems are childish and dated.
Free verse is far superior.
Rhymes are often so much drearier.
I say we extinguish the rhymes
We’ve used them on too many times.
Free verse is for the more artistic,
An art system that is truly mystic.
Rhymes are childish and creative,
Free verse is so spectacular and imaginative
Rhymes are tasteless they’ve out done their use,
Free verse is powerful, complex, and abstruse.
Children make rhymes, they’re old and tasteless,
Free verse are convoluted, elaborate, and audacious.
The definition of art is the application of skill and ability.
Free verse poems show my artistic agility.
Not some poem with rhyming, that’s easy!
Free verse is so intricate we only covered it briefly.

In a chihuahua’s eyes
A smile is a battle cry.
Its eyes may be cute and blue
But its cuteness is NOT true.
It’s just how they get by.

Everyday I eat mice
But today I ate rice
It had a little spice
But I said “I really like rice!”
I said to my mom can we buy more rice?
My mom said “Yes I hate mice.”
So from now on I say buy rice
not mice.

Sam was supposed to be small,
But that was not the case at all.
Even though San is so diggity
We treat him with much cordiality.
He can almost jump the fence
he treats my dad with much eminence.
Without him our family is not complete.
He can run so fast he is practically an athlete.
Sam is really great,
To live with us is his fate.

There once was a turtle named Bill
who went on top of a hill
he saw two hungry eyes
and a bald eagle cry
now he’s stuffed up at the store called Goodwill

My cat has a hat
Even though it’s quite hat
I call it a plate,
Because it’s really quite straight
He says it looks cool
When he jumps in the pool
Ohh sure,
He’s SOOOO mature
He’s only three,
He can’t even climb a tree!
My cat has a hat.

Unique as a magical fairy
Never not opera singing with pigs
Interested in rainbow poop
Creates worlds of cotton candy
On rainbows dancing
Resting on a rainbow
Not just a horse with a carrot on its head

The revenge of the chickens
I ate some chicken soup
And a chicken ice cream scoop
Saw a set of angry eyes
Two wings that don’t fly
I now rest in a chicken coop
