IMAGINATION STATION
PART TWO - BY ANDREW

MY DAD

THE UPS MAN

SCHOOL WORRIES

MY DAD

Bob's dad is tall like a telephone pole
And strong as a bulldozer's throttle
Sue's dad is smart like a scientist
And handsome as a model

I saw Mike's dad pick up a snake
to save his cat from fear
Jake's dad took him to the coast
and walked out on the pier

Some dads wear uniforms to work
Keeping our country well
Other's cook or keep the books
Some have tales to tell

But my dad is the best of all !
My dad says, "This is true".
Because God gave him just to me
He loves me through and through

THE UPS MAN

The UPS man came to our door.
I thought it was for me.
Did Grandma send a birthday gift?
Or Uncle Rog, a tree?

The box was big, like crates ofgrapes,
Or a TV screen.
Was it filled with candy canes?
Or peppermint ice cream?

It had an “A” right on the box.
The only letter I knew.
Gee, I wish that I could read.
I’d have another clue.

Tim opened the box from right toleft,
Or was it left to right?
He said “from Amazon.com.”
Books! What a beautiful sight! 

SCHOOL WORRIES

I worry about the next school year
I’m moving up a grade.
Will I still have my recess with
Old friends that I have made?

What if my lunch is far away
And I get lost at 10?
What if the teacher calls on me
When I have dropped my pen?

I try to keep inside my thoughts
The good things I will do.
But what if I should lose a book
Or spill the classroom glue?

I guess that we all worry,
Teacher told me that last year.
She said to hang our worries
On her hat rack - next to fear.
