Aunt Anna

Aunt Anna can fix anything –
a PARIS skates, a cup,
If your pants rip INDONESIA
just HAVANA sew them up!

My grandma wears a 2-foot wig
that’s held on with APE pin,
But if you think her hair is big,
EWE OTTER SEA URCHIN

The Joy of Discovery

Each week, I’m asked to clean my room, but what I do instead,
Is simply take the whole week’s mess to stash beneath my bed.
Then came the day I didn’t have a single thing to wear,
Or read, or dry myself with, so I took a look down there.
I found two books, three towels, some long-thought lost remotes,
Cereal and sunscreen and two fall-and-winter coats,
Pizza crust, a pillow and some shirts and underpants,
Socks and shoes, a sticky, swirly sucker . . . and some ants.
