Emily's Poetry
Problems
I spit and spit and never stop
I hit and hit and never sit
Kids are kids
People are people
That is why I must know this
Because I am building a steeple
I Must Notice
I must notice
Here and there
I must notice
When I share
I must notice
As I brush my hair
Or otherwise I will get a dare
Oh Spirit
Oh Spirit, Oh Spirit
I just cannot hear it
For you have the most beautiful singing voice among the boys
Its the most pretty one among all the birds
Please sing to me
As I come on my last visit to the tree
Cocktails
Cocktails on kittens
Cocktails on mittens
Cocktails on roses
Cocktails on hoses
Some people think this is silly
Some people do not
Just like Billy thought it was silly
Just like Mary thought it was not
The Friend Key
One day I lost my key
A boy named He found it for me
Then we became friends
Just like you and me
The Ring
Dear king, dear king
I have found a diamond ring
It belongs to thee
Who climbed a tree
But did not succeed in climbing the the tree
The ring fell to a man who would sell
He sold it to me
And that's how I have it you see
