Max the poet

Max has written a couple of cute poems recently. One is for the school reflections contest, and that is below. The other one, I'm trying to find to post, because I really liked it. But, it has gone missing. So, here is his Reflections entry. (He also wrote a cute blues tune called, "Wow is in my mind.")

Wow! What a Pumpkin!
by Max Teuscher

We were walking down the path
On a pretty autumn day.
Wow! We saw a giant pumpkin
UP and yonder where it lay.
We took it home to carve,
And although we did it beautifully,
It was for the pumpkin seeds we starved.

When we tried to roll it home
on that pretty autumn day,
we lost our grip on the pumpkin,
and we watched it roll away.
It was rolling through the woods,
and we thought that it was gone,
so we chased it through the woods,
and found it in the pond.

We went back home and pulled out our canoe
And we were very glad we had it, wouldn't you be too?
So we rode into the pond in our little red canoe,
and we couldn't get it out, so we thought what to do.
We found a 10 foot rope and a sharpened hook,
so then we took, we took, we took the pumpkin through the water.

We reeled it home and we left ourselves a trail
of pumpkin tracks.
And then when we got home we enjoyed our pumpkin seed snacks!
