Poems

I memorized these poems!

The Caterpillar
By Cristina G. Rossetti
Brown and furry
Caterpillar in a hurry;
Take your walk
To the shady leaf, or stalk.

May no toad spy you,
May the little birds pass by you;
Spin and die
To live again a butterfly.

"Work"
Anonymous
Work while you work,
Play while you play;
This is the way
To be happy each day.
All that you do
Do with your might;
Things done by haves
Are never done right.
