Bigfoot's Bewilderment

My head is humongous.
My neck is tremendous.
My legs are so long that
my stride is stupendous.

My chest is impressive.
My torso's titanic.
My arms are enormous.
My hands are gigantic.

My thighs are the size
of a couple of boulders.
I'm thick in the hips and
immense in the shoulders.

I'm broad as a tree trunk.
I'm tall as a tower.
My epic proportions
could cause you to cower.

I'm big in the belly.
I'm wide in the seat.
I'm really unclear why
I'm known for my feet.

Dear Summer

Dear Summer, you're always my favorite.
I really do like you a lot.
You come every year,
and I'm glad when you're here.
I don't even mind that you're hot.

Dear Summer, whenever you visit,
I love to go outside to play.
I get to wear shorts
and play summertime sports,
or sometimes do nothing all day.

I put on my goggles and swim suit,
and head for the beach or the park.
I go for a hike
or I ride on my bike,
and stay awake long after dark.

Dear Summer, I'm glad you could join us.
without you, it won't be the same.
I promise I know
that you do have to go,
but, still, it seems sort of a shame.

I'm sure that I'm going to miss you.
The school year is finally here.
I had so much fun
playing out in the sun.
I guess that I'll see you next year.

My Puppy Ate My Earbuds


My puppy ate my earbuds.
My puppy ate my socks.
My puppy chewed my tennis shoes
and all my Lego blocks.

He gnawed upon my iPod
as if it were a bone.
He nibbled my Nintendo Wii
and munched my mobile phone.

He grazed upon my skateboard,
consumed my catcher's mitts,
and chomped my chess and checkers sets
to tiny little bits.

He polished off my pillow,
my blanket, and my sheet.
My homework seems to be the
only thing he will not eat.
