At the Library
01:42

This past year I read
A hundred good books
On Saturdays at noon
I love to take a look
In the library
I still love to go
To the pool and zoo
But to get to the moon
I need to walk by foot
To the library
In the past books took
Way too long to read
Instead of giving up
I started practicing
On a rainy day
All that I need is
A lunchbox full of food
And another good book
From the library

Stuck inside the house
We’re about to shout
All the clouds are out
Too many to count
Let’s not pout we should
Figure something out
We found something to do
Make mom her favorite food
She loved it the last
Time, we made it fast
With a big wooden spoon
From our cupboard door
In a big round pot
Stir spices, so hot!
When she took a bite
Her mouth smiled wide
But then she moved to the couch
Her stomach kept saying “ouch ouch ouch”
Her mouth smiled wide
Her mouth smiled wide
Her mouth smiled wide

There’s a sign by the sea that invites me
Each time I pass by, I dream of what we could find
So I gather a team of friends
We clean all our supplies
Journey to the beach
And cast out our lines
We hope to catch a big fish
Whose meat is lean, rich, and sweet
Food from the sea makes any dish
A healthy, delectable treat to eat
Oh please, Mr. Sea
Help my friends and me find fish to eat
Your colors like dreams
So hard to catch, so easy to see
There’s a sign by the sea that invites me

Cross the street slowly
Not a time to be playful
Don’t run! Walk quickly
Look left! Look right! Be careful
Mom told me to cross
Only if I’m wearing shoes
Because she’s the boss
Walk safe! I’ll gladly do
Don’t dance in the street!
We can dance on the sidewalk
Sadly have a seat
If you dance when you should walk
Look both ways each time!
This is a tip that’s useful
If I don’t do it
It could be really painful!
I’ll ask nicely
Because it's wonderful
To see my friends
Being open and careful
Don’t dance in the street!
We can dance on the sidewalk
Sadly have a seat
If you dance when you should walk

Even though I’m just a boy
I work on Grandpa’s Farm
There are many jobs to do
None involve a toy
Plant all kinds of seeds in soil
Then boil up some corn
Grandpa said that it tastes best
With butter and oil
Grandpa goes to watch the pigs
I love to laugh and point
In my best piggy voice
I say, “oink oink oink!”
Gramps gave me a heavy coin
For my hard work today
Lean myself against the barn
So happy to join…

There’s a moon above
That I want to touch
It’s like a white pie
In the sky
My mom says I need
Eight straight hours of sleep
Even though she’s right
I still fight
It’s hard to sleep
When the bright light
From the high moon
Shines through my room
The moonbeams are bright
In the pitch black night
With might like a king
Hear me sing
Tie the curtain tight
It doesn’t cause fright
Up all night or half
I still laugh
It’s hard to sleep
When the bright light
From the high moon
Shines through my room

Remember Summer?

Remember summer?
Here’s a picture you took last year
We look outside
Wonder when the sun will get here
Stood inside our room
Thought all icy dark winter long
Our mom said herself
Can’t wait to hear a bluebird song
Remember summer?
Here’s a picture you took last year
We look outside
Wonder when the sun will get here
Baseball will start soon
I’ll trade my lunchbox and backpack
Brainstorm what to do
With a suitcase and a flashlight
Remember summer?
Here’s a picture you took last year
We look outside
Wonder when the sun will get here

Family Road Trips

In summer we go on road trips
Each time to a different place
At first I’m always unhappy
There’s too much stuff to carry
I’m unkind in all my ways
I’m unkind in all my ways
But when we start to move
It’s a different story
My frown starts to undo
I untie my two shoes
Undress my big sweater
Get comfy in shorts and a tee
Dad retells a story
The same one every year
When we stop to refill
It’s much easier to hear
He reopens the book
But I know he knows it by heart
I don’t know how I can repay
My parents for all they do
At first I am always bored
I want a refund of time
But the memories are prime
All the memories are fine

Out in the Country
01:45

Being from the city I never saw
Stars so pretty or a raccoon’s paw
A lawn so large I wonder who built
All these huge fences, it looks like a quilt
Out in the country, so much to learn
A lot like science, plus a sunburn
Out in the country, it’s like the law
To work hard and chew hay in your jaw
I wake up early, there’s no time to draw
Yawn like crazy, drink juice from a straw
Off to build fences, Look! There goes a hawk
It flies through the sky, I work and walk
Only in my dreams could I fly so high
All this tough work makes me crawl and cry
Out in the country, so much to learn
A lot like science, plus a sunburn
Out in the country, it’s like the law
To work hard and chew hay
Out in the country, so much to learn
A lot like science, plus a sunburn
Out in the country, it’s like the law
To work hard and chew hay in your jaw

Yellow Boat

Spring has sprung
The snow is gone
A road is clear
To the pond
I don’t need a coat
In my yellow boat
The wind blows
No point to row
Wind, blow warm
I love it here
Yellow boat, you’re my best friend
You take me where I need to go
Even if I don’t know where it is
I go home
Draw a bath with soap
Eat a loaf of bread
That’s soft I hope
I’ll brush my teeth
And rest my head
On a cold pillow
I think I’ll dream about today
The warm wind and my yellow boat
Take me where I need to go
