I Am

I am funny and kind

I wonder how big space is

I hear an elephant in my backyard

I see gold at the end of the rainbow

I want to end poverty

I am funny and kind

I pretend I have a pet hippo that does ballet

I feel famous

I touch koalas in Australia

I worry about my family

I cry when I get hurt

I a funny and kind

I understand how to read music

I say end world hunger

I dream about being a doctor

I try to get good grades

I hope the world is a friendlier place

I am funny and kind

My Mud

Slurp, Slurp

I chug down slop from the trough in front of me.

I roll around in my favorite pile of mud,

Dirt clouds up around me.

Flies are buzzing,

One lands in my food.

I can tell roosters are in the pin beside me,

Bawk! Bawk!

They seem to scornfully scream.

But I keep rolling.
