Sad Sweet Story
Eat up your carrots and drink your milk;
You'll have pearly-white teeth
and skin smooth as silk!
Eat too much candy, you'll end up instead
With a nutcracker jaw
and no teeth in your head.

Bad Poem
This poem is so bad
It belongs in the zoo.
It should jump in a lake
Or come down with the flu.
It should get itself lost
Or crawl into a cage.
This poem is so bad
It should
                        fall
                                                      OFF        the
                                                                                     page.

Watermelon
Yippy!
Yipes!
Green and white stripes.
How I love to sink
My teeth into pink.
I don't even mind
To chew on the rind.
I love it to bits!
(Except for the pits.)

Question
If cookies come in boxes
And tuna comes in cans
And the butcher bakes our roast beef
And wraps it in saran.

If most cakes come from bakeries
And doughnuts from the store
I often sit and wonder
What our kitchen oven's for?
