The Lizard

There once was a lizard

He had no gizzard.

He went up north,

And kept going forth,

And wound up getting caught in a blizzard.

Rose from the dead

He chases us very far

We got in the car

To see that he had no head!

There once was a cat named Jack

He wore a backpack

He went to the store

Which he thought was a bore

And he never came back.

By: Liz

 

The cat went to the vet today.

He slept from June to May.

He was very fat

His name was Matt,

He could not play.

 

There once was a kid named Tito

Whose favorite food was a burrito

He ate too much food

And got a loose tooth

Then he ate 10 doritos.

 

I once had a dog

That looked like a hog

Who slept in a bed

With a bear named Fred

They liked to sleep in the fog.

 

There once was a lion named Ryan

Who was always cryin

He spent a lot of time in his house

With his pet mouse

He also had problems with tyin.

 

There once was a girl named Jill

She had a very strong will

She had a friend named John

Who's Mexican name was Juan

Then she worked at Gurnee Mills.

 

There once was a little girl named Lungs.

She had lizards with long tongues.

She plays with Kim's tan cat

Whick loved to lie in Chris' hat

And to climb some ladder's rungs.
