List Poem
There are some things I can do.
I can play the flute (better then Sarah)
I can scream till my lungs fall out
I can sing "Yankee Doodle" to the neighbors dogs at three a.m.
I can write stories that make you want to go home and cry yourself to sleep in a closet where the monsters can't get you
But I cannot write a poem.
I can pop someone's bubble by coming up behind someone and screaming "Quack!"
I can get hit by a train and survive (if I was batman)
I can beat Peter Parker in a race across the country
I can eat a hippopotamus in three bites or less
But there is no possible way I could write a poem.
I can eat the last cupcake and still come out innocent
I can build an airplane out of broken glass
I can scare away any newcomer to the town in just one night
I can survive Ms. Kennedy's class without dying of boredom (just kidding, maybe :P)
But you want me to right a poem? You've got to be kidding me write!
I can stay up for three and a half days straight with no coffee reading (I'm not kidding!)
I can blow up a soda bottle with baking soda and... You don't want to know
I can kick St. Mary's Middle School's butts in the reading bowl, with the help of the team
I can sit on a bus with Kalina K. without being kicked off, eaten, or other ways of death... not kidding
Now look what you've done!
I've made a piece of art!
You crumple this up!
I'm not that smart!
