  1. 21. I Hate Brussels Sprouts!

    As kids, my brothers and I all hated Brussels sprouts. We were not allowed to leave the table until we had finished, though I'm sure there were times when my parents caved because they couldn't stand the whining and tantrums any longer. To this day, I refuse to eat them, but both my brothers have grown to like them. I feel somewhat betrayed!

    I know that stink! I have no doubts
    That Mom has cooked up Brussels sprouts.
    Of all the things that I despise,
    The Brussels sprout would take first prize.

  3. 22. Musings Of A Three-Year-Old

    I am the mother of a three-year-old girl, and my poem is inspired by my experiences with her. Children perceive the world very differently from adults. Through my poem, I am trying to give voice to the daily frustrations that a preschooler must likely face.

    How tiring it is
    To be three years old.
    Sit here, eat that,
    Be constantly told.

  5. 23. Grandad Can't See His Feet

    Have you ever stood in the shower, looked down and been unable to see your feet without leaning forward? No, neither have I!

    Granddad's got new glasses,
    But he still can't see his feet.
    No, his eyes are not the problem.
    It's the amount of food he eats.

  6. 24. I Hate Peanut Butter

    None of my friends ever understood why I didn't like peanut butter. Apparently, it's a delicatessen. Anyway, I wrote this poem to explain my distaste for it in a humorous way. Enjoy.

    These words I say without a stutter:
    I hate the taste of peanut butter!
    In Reese's chocolate it may stay
    But keep the butter far away.

  7. 25. Yucky Chucky Tucker

    I wrote this poem when my children were young. I think everyone young and old alike can relate to a Yucky Chucky Tucker. I remember going to school with a young man just like that. Things sure change as we get older lol. Hope you enjoy

    Yucky Chucky Tucker was smelly as can be,
    he never took a bath and hardly ever brushed his teeth.
    Everywhere he went he left an odor in the air,
    and Yucky Chucky Tucker never combed his hair.

  8. 26. My Kitty

    This poem is for all of the cat lovers who have ever watched their cats chase a bug.

    I once had a kitty
    who had stripes in her fur.
    I could pet her and brush her,
    and boy could she purr.

  9. 27. The Sugar-Plum Tree

    “The Sugar-Plum Tree” is a perfect “bedtime story” for children about sweet treats that make up an imaginary town. Eugene Field (1850-1895) wrote “Funny Fancies,” a humorous column for the St. Louis Journal. He also became known as the “Poet of Childhood” because of his children’s poetry.

    Have you ever heard of the Sugar-Plum Tree?
    'Tis a marvel of great renown!
    It blooms on the shore of the Lollypop sea
    In the garden of Shut-Eye Town;

    If my world were made of chocolate,

  11. 29. My Shadow

    I just got to wondering about shadows. We all have one, but how much do we really know about them? Where do they go when we can't see them?

    I quite often look at my shadow.
    I like how it follows me round
    And does all the same things that I do
    Without ever making a sound.

  12. 30. Harvey The Hippo

    This poem is in the limerick form, and it is unusual because limericks are carried through all eight stanzas. It is also an example of a rhyming poem. As for me, I am a retired university professor who enjoyed a tenure of 32 years at Chicago State University where my job was to prepare teachers for children with special needs.

    Harvey is a huge hippopotamus
    Who bathes in a bay that is bottomless
    HIs mouth is as large
    As a riverboat barge

  14. 32. Who Nose?

    Hi, my name is Alan Balter, and I am a retired university professor. To keep my neurons firing during retirement, I have taken to writing fiction, personal essays, and poetry. Most of my poetic efforts are for my grandchildren; I have 14 and they really like my work.

    Some are as long as hoses
    You buy at a garden store.
    Mine can be used to smell roses
    From a couple of miles or more.

  15. 33. Reflection

    Poem about a child's thoughts on seeing her own reflection in a saucepan's bottom.

    I’ve heard mum say, and often too,
    That washing up’s a bore.
    Why she’d often give me tuppence
    Just to do that dreadful chore.

  16. 34. The Thing!

    I was always fascinated by monster movies when I was young. I must've seen every one made in the 1950s and 60s. Other than drawing them, I never did make one. This is a story about a guy who actually makes a monster and the problems he faces afterwards. I wrote this in 1967 for boys in their pre-teems. It has some dark humor and may be a little icky in parts, but kids like that kind of thing.

    I once set out to make a fiend,
    A gruesome thing that no one's seen.
    A massive gore of teeth and claws
    With sixteen eyes and monster paws.

  17. 35. The Owl And The Pussy-Cat

    The Owl and the Pussycat was first published in 1871 in the book "Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany and Alphabets", by Edward Lear (1812-1888). Lear played many musical instruments and often performed his poetry with music at social gatherings.

    The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
    In a beautiful pea-green boat,
    They took some honey, and plenty of money,
    Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

  20. 38. Cow In My Soup

    As a child, when we had soup, I would crumble crackers in with it. When they became soggy, sometimes they would take different shapes, and I would let my imagination loose.

    My mom said, "Eat all your soup,
    every piece of chicken and every noodle."
    But there's a cow in my soup.

  21. 39. Night Noises

    A humorous, rhyming poem about natural bodily functions that people make during the night. It is meant primarily for children, but people of any age with a sense of humor should enjoy it.

    My parents' bedroom is far from mine, so I have to wonder
    What the noise is every night that sounds a lot like thunder.
    We don't live near the seashore, but almost every morn
    I'm wakened by a noise that sounds like a fog horn.

    This rhyming poem was not based on anyone I know. Poetry just "pops" into my head and I have to write it. My poetry generally has a funny/weird slant to it, and I just love to write it.

    Milly-Rose has a long hairy nose
    that would consistently wiggle and twitch.
    The kids would giggle every time it wiggled
    and believed she was a silly old witch.
