It’s Not Fair!

It’s not fair! You get more!

I have three and you have four

Your piece is bigger Mine’s not nice

I went once You went twice

Wait a minute Let me think

This time I have the biggest drink.

Mine is better Yours is small

You don’t get more each time at all Yesterday I won the race.

You came in at second place

Today you won, and I was last

I was slow and you were fast

I think I’ll try not to compare

It all works out I guess that’s fair

4

I’m Great!

I can do it Just you wait

Give me time I’m just great

I’ll sink that tricky basketball

Skateboard tricks won’t make me fall.

I’ll get that dance I’ll learn to cook I’ll read that huge enormous book I’ll play that game I may not win I’ll be the best I’ve ever been

Sometimes I’ll fail, but that’s all right I’ll try again I’m fi ne I’m bright

So give me time, for I’m just great

I can do it Just you wait

I’m Angry

I don’t know how to end this fi ght

I understand it isn’t right

Can we talk? Will you agree?

Let’s go there, beneath that tree You talk fi rst Why are you mad? Did I say words that made you sad? I’ll be quiet It’s your turn

I’ll listen hard and try to learn

I’ll go next I’ll hold your hand, And try to make you understand Maybe that would end this fi ght, For fi ghting isn’t nice or right

8

I Lost

I lost That’s bad I wish I’d won

Everyone says, “Have fun! Have fun! Don’t worry if you lose or win

Shake the winner’s hand and grin.”

So I will try to just have fun

Trust Me

You can trust me I’m your friend

I’ll keep your secrets till the end

I will never lie to you

I’ll make you laugh when you feel blue

Don’t worry, I am well prepared

To help you out when you feel scared

I’ll keep a promise if I make it

I won’t forget, and I won’t break it

So count on me I’m fair, I’m just,

And I’m a friend

that you can trust

Oops!

My teacher called my name today

I didn’t know the answer

I was dreaming of the day I’d be a famous dancer

I made a mistake, but that’s okay Tomorrow is another day

12

My teacher called my name today.

I knew I was in trouble,

For I was thinking of the day

I’d blow a nine foot bubble

My teacher called my name today

I wished that I could hide, For I was drawing pictures of

A brand new giant ride

I made a mistake, but that’s okay Tomorrow IS another day

Should I?

I did something bad today

Should I say I did it?

Should I tell my mother

That I broke the bowl and hid it?

Should I tell my father

That I told a little lie?

I didn’t do my homework,

What’s worse I didn’t try

15

Should I tell the teacher That I made the new kid sad?

Or should I say I don’t know Why he feels so bad?

I think I’d better tell the truth It’s always best that way

If I don’t say “I’m sorry” now, I’ll have a rotten day
