There are times some of my classes could have used this poem, Bridget. Terrific!
So fun! Reminds me of the Music Man. :)
Thanks, Linda! I think this is what my girls hear when I talk, except when I say, "ice cream" - THEN they hear me. =)
Thanks, Jama! I must refresh my memory of the Music Man! =)
What fun and so true! My son calls it "grown-up blah blah." What a dear.
So fun! I think this would be fun to read in middle school, assigning different stanzas to different table groups. It's hard to acknowledge that's what we often sound like to them.
I love this! Pretty sure that my college aged sons hear a similar message! And I love the way you have fit the words together. The rhythm and sound are perfect!
This is super fun! I totally had the impression it was grown up talk from the point of view of a waiting kid.
Funny, Bridget. This would sound funny in a rap.
ha ha hee hee ho ho ho--
I reeeeaaallllly love this! Seems like it took a long time for someone to pull all these together! Good job, Bridget--I like your buttons counting poem too. May I borrow it for kindergarten?
Bridget,
This just made me laugh. Having just sent the youngest teenage daughter off to college, I have many memories of "gibber jabber". I'm discovering, however, as she grows in this experience, she may have been listening more than I realized.
What fun rhyme and rhythm.
Cathy
I think your son and my two daughters are on the same wavelength, Michelle! Too funny!
Thanks, Ramona! Yes, I think middle schoolers would be able to relate to this form of communication. =)
Thank you, Carol! It is fun how the words fit together yet mean nothing. =)
Thanks, Liz! Waiting kids hear a whole new language in their impatience. =)
Thanks, Catherine! I'd love to see a famous rapper rap this, yo! =)
Thanks, Heidi! Glad I was able to give you a laugh. And yes! I'd be honored to have you use my button poem for your kindergarteners! Thanks for making me smile. =)
Thanks, Cathy! I'm so glad you got a laugh from my poem. Yes, I hope my daughters hear more than the "gibber jabber" of my jaw. (actually they prove that they do once in while when I least expect it) =)
So wonderful! Thank you for the smiles.
Fantastic, Bridget--thanks for the laugh. Someone needs to publish this one.
Thank you Crystal! You've made ME smile, too. =)
Thank you, Buffy! Glad you found this funny. I'd love to find a home for this one, just not sure where. =)
