Poem For A Rainy Day
I love rainy days,
Walking in the dark, wet haze,
Drip, drop, drizzling down,
Wetting all the thirsty towns.
Walking, running, getting soaked.
Not even wearing a mac[?] or coat.
I love rain, but best of all,
It doesn't always have to fall

THE BALLOON
by Hillarie Keller
When I was just a baby
I had a white balloon.
It flew away
do you suppose
that it could be the moon.
THE LITTLE HOUSE
by Diana Lea Mausser
In the great big woods
In a great big tree
There lives a tiniest little man
Who could ever be.
He lives in a tiny little house.
There's a tiny little knocker
On the tiny little door;
And a tiny little rocker
On the tiny little floor;
A tiny little clock that
Goes tick-tock all day long.
In an old tiny hat
There's a tiny little rat
As tiny as a knat.
A tiny little dog named rover;
And a tiny little cat named clover;
All the birds and bees
Come flying through the trees
With the breeze.
