POCKETS
Pockets are fine
For marbles and twine,
For knives and rubber bands;
So, stuff them tight
From morning till night
With anything else but hands!
WAITING FOR DINNER
When one is very hungry,
It’s hard to wait, I know,
For minutes seem like hours
And the clock is always slow.
There isn’t time to play a game,
You just sit down and wait,
While Mother says, “Be patient,
Our cook is never late.”
It’s best when one is hungry,
To think of other things,
For then, before you know it,
The bell for dinner rings.
