The Squash<br />
B. L. Richardson<br />
The squash in my garden went bump in the night.<br />
It bumped ‘til it woke me. I got quite a fright.<br />
I peeked out my window and saw a strange sight -<br />
The squash was humongous and glowing with light.<br />
It rocked and it rolled, made a gurgling sound,<br />
It popped its insides out all over the ground.<br />
The yellow bits fell in a mountainous mound<br />
All over the doghouse of Gomer my hound.<br />
Poor Gomer crawled out with seeds on his head,<br />
His fur and his eyes glowed a fiery red.<br />
The guck and the goo were all over his bed.<br />
I washed him and put him to bed in the shed.<br />
The squash got cooked up, sealed in Mason jars tight;<br />
But sometimes it glows and goes bump in the night.<br />
Whenever it does, Gomer crawls out of sight.<br />
I no longer grow squash. Well, next year I might.<br />
Sing Sang Song<br />
Nicole Braganza<br />
At the sing sang song<br />
Where the words go wrong<br />
And the audience all go BOO!<br />
There’s a song sang sing<br />
It’s a teacher’s thing<br />
Where they all go jibber jabber joo<br />
At the song sing sang<br />
All the students bang<br />
On the piano, till spanked blue<br />
So its sing sang song<br />
Words go wrong<br />
Song sang sing<br />
Teacher’s thing<br />
Song sing sang<br />
Students bang<br />
A raucous squeal of a song<br />
It’s the sing sang sing sang song!<br />
