Where Did It Go?
Here's Joan reading her poem ...
The Lost and Found is chock-full of stuff.
Erasers,
torn t-shirts and
teddy bear fluff.
One scooter.
Ten pencils.
Some glitter and glue.
Three lunches.
Six stencils and
mystery goo.
A banana.
A baseball.
An old cuckoo clock.
But we still haven’t found
-our teacher’s striped sock.
Erasers,
torn t-shirts and
teddy bear fluff.
One scooter.
Ten pencils.
Some glitter and glue.
Three lunches.
Six stencils and
mystery goo.
A banana.
A baseball.
An old cuckoo clock.
But we still haven’t found
-our teacher’s striped sock.
