The Boarders in My Basement

by Sarah

I have a major problem
That I’d like for you to hear
I have boarders in my basement
And the time is drawing near…

…For me to finally kick them out
They’re not paying the rent
They chew and crawl and have a ball
And leave an awful scent

There are pill bugs, spiders, beetles,
Creepy, crawly centipedes
You insects, listen caref’lly
To my warning take great heed

“I will smash you, stomp you, spray you
With my slipper, shoe, or glove
If you feel a shadow o’er you
I’M the monster up above”

They can’t scare me any longer
I won’t scream or shout or flee
I’m just calmly taking over
What rightly belongs to me

I’ll just sit back and get comfy
In my cozy easy chair
How I love the peace and quiet

AH! A BUG IS IN MY

HAIR!!!

    Funny pome!! I love to write pomes. hears on of them:

    a young girl screamed
    an owl heard the scream
    a fox was seen trying to get her
    and in a flash the owl dashed and knoked
    that fox into a mash. the owl saved the girl who crved a berry so the went to get her a cherry.
    it’s not very good but i like to ryme stuff…even if it don’t make sense.

      Mrs. Steele loves to write poetry too. Everyone starts somewhere. Don’t ever stop.
