A Lovely Butterfly

I went out in the garden
with my camera to look for something cool,
For my teacher said
it was an assignment for school.

I first saw some flowers
but they were really nothing new,
for there were many flowers in my garden
not only a few.

Then I saw an earthworm
slithering across the grass,
I'm a bit scared of earthworms
And ran to the other side of my garden, fast.

Finally I saw a lovely butterfly
whose wings were pink and red,
I took a picture of it at once,
for it was big and looked well-fed.
It hid in the trees, and I wondered where it went
it had camouflaged! It's really sly!
Then the lovely thing came over to me and said:
"I'm a twittery pearl-bordered butterfly!"

Then I showed the picture of the butterfly to my teacher the next day,
and she said it took her breath away.

A Funny Girl

In the middle of the year a new girl came to my class,
and she looked very pleasant and nice.
For she had an amiable face,
and was the proud owner of three white mice!

She was wearing sea green tights,
and a bizarre, magenta shirt.
She was wearing multicolored glasses,
and a candy shaded skirt!

She said her name was Dona,
and she was enormously tall.
Her hair was curly, long and red
though her hands and feet were small

But next week Dona had to leave,
but I wasn't very sad.
for I was scared of her white mice
so I was rather glad!
