Here are a couple of cute and funny poems by Jack Prelutsky (who specializes in that sort of thing).
My Father’s Name is Sasquatch
My Father’s Name is Sasquatch
my mother’s name is Yeti
They often feast on frozen fish
but I prefer spagetti
I Went to a Yard Sale
I went to a yard sale
and found it a treat.
Theyd run out of yards,
so i purchased three feet.
These poems are taken from It’s Raining Pigs & Noodles, by Jack Prelutsky
which, by the way, iI got at a thrift store!

Good find! I loved Judith Viorst’s poetry as a middle-schooler; I think I read “Mother Doesn’t Want a Dog” for my 9th grade drama class. And of course I remember reading Shel Silverstein with my sister!
Those were fun! I like the first one better. Your blog is so cute. A breath of fresh air!
