Poet's Corner

Here Comes the Wind!  
 
The wind is blowing all around 
Reaching high and low.  
 
The wind is blowing very hard 
Everybody BLOW! 
 
The wind is blowing in the trees. 
Everybody SWAY! 
 
The wind is blowing on the ground 
So, let’s all roll away! 
  - Sharon Siegelman

The Very Friendly Dentist (sung to the tune of The Itsy Bitsy Spider) 
 
My very friendly dentist said, “Open up, real wide.” 
I opened up my mouth and he looked deep in side. 
He saw my healthy teeth ‘cause I brush them every day. 
The very friendly dentist told me, “Your teeth are A-OK!” 
  - Cynthia Cappetta 
 
1^st President 
 
Oh do you know that Washington, 
George Washington, George Washington, 
Oh do you know that Washington, 
Was our first president? 
  - Marie E. Cecchini

What Teeth Like  
 
Teeth like milk, 
Fruits and such, 
Teeth like candy 
Not so much. 
 
Teeth like dentists, 
Being brushed, 
Happy teeth say 
That it’s a must. 
  - Marie E. Cecchini

The Shape of Things 
 
Some things are crooked, 
Some things are straight. 
Some things are round, 
or square. 
Some things are pointed. 
Some things are flat 
But there’s NO shape 
to the air! 
  - Vivian Gouled

Brushing 
 
Up and down and round and round, 
Brush your teeth to keep them sound. 
To keep them clean and sparkling white, 
Brush them morning, noon and night. 
  - Marie E. Cecchini 

Proud February  
 
February is a short month, 
But it speaks out tall and loud. 
“I have Washington and Lincoln 
And I’m very, very, proud!”

     - Wanda Haan

   Chinese New Year

   It’s time for Chinese New Year

   Under the first new moon

   Fifteen days of celebration

   Will begin quite soon

   The homes are cleaned and ready

   There’s special food to make

   For this is a time to visit kin

   With tasty treats to take

   Children receive red envelopes

   From relatives who are kind

   Inside there’s money for good luck

   That the little ones will find

   On the last day of celebration

   You’ll see a beautiful sight

   When the Lantern Festival begins

   To light up the dark night
