Tommy by Gwendolyn Brooks I put a seed into the ground And said, "I'll watch it grow." I watered it and cared for it As well as I could know. One day I walked in my back yard, And oh, what did I see! My seed had popped itself right out, Without consulting me	Giraffes by Mary Ann Hoberman Giraffes I like them. Ask me why. Because they hold their heads up high. Because their necks stretch to the sky. Because they’re quiet, calm, and shy. Because they run so fast they fly. Because their eyes are velvet brown. Because their coats are spotted tan. Because they eat the tops of trees. Because their legs have knobby knees. Because Because Because Because. That’s why I like giraffes.

Sunflakes By Frank Asch If sunlight fell like snowflakes, gleaming yellow and so bright, we could build a sunman, we could have a sunball fight, we could watch the sunflakes drifting in the sky. We could go sleighing in the middle of July through sundrifts and sunbanks, we could ride a sunmobile, and we could touch sunflakes— I wonder how they'd feel.

The sunset’s orange, The air is clear, What a colorful world We have right here!	"The Popcorn Hop" by Stephanie Calmenson. The Popcorn Hop Put your popcorn in a pot. Wait till it gets really hot. When you start to feel the heat, Listen for the popcorn beat: Pop-pop-POP-pop, pop-pop-POP! Come and do the popcorn hop!
