Poetry

I have never been a poet, and I know it.
I don't even enjoy reading poetry for the most part.
I like Dr Seuss for a start.

So the task of teaching children to rhyme lines really shoudl fall to someone else.

Anyone could do this better than myself.

Little Man wrote:

In the night
  is a light
It is a star.

 The star is far

After I fly a kite
eat lunch I might

The last part is somewhat unrelated, but it does rhyme.

Dude wrote:

There was a man who had a can
The can was green
in it was a bean
He ate the bean
be began to clean

Somehow in the three and half years Dude hasn't improved much in style.

After getting all that spelled mostly correctly, and somewhat gramatical, I really had no energy to ask Princess what she was doing.  Here is hers (I added the quotations):

There was a piper
  who had a diaper

He gave it to his baby
she said "I'd like a rattle" maybe

He got her a rattle
Then there was a battle

Princess tells me there was a battle because the baby didn't want the rattle and the Piper was mad because she told him she wanted it.

Strange silly things kids make up to find excuses to use the only rhyming words they can think of.
