Giggle Poetry
Do you love funny poems about school, teachers, food and more? Click on the image to laugh till your tummy hurts. Here is one of my favourites by Bruce Lansky called My Teacher Loves her iPod:
My teacher loves her iPod.
It’s always in her ear.
She doesn’t mind it if we joke
or chat ’cause she can’t hear
If we don’t pay attention,
she doesn’t seem to care.
Whenever she has music on,
she wears a distant stare.
Our principal dropped by one day,
and she paid no attention.
He took away her iPod,
and he sent her to detention.
