What the...?

Well the other day I was searching for little kid songs to sing to my children and came across a rather gross song made for young children called yellow bird. Here it is:

a yellow bird with a yellow bill was sitting on my window sill.

I coaxed him in with a piece of bread and then i smashed his little head.

Don't Tread on Me


well... I keep meaning to post once a week but then life gets crazy... between school, husband and kids I sometimes do not know where I get the time to take care of the house. Well, school is done tomorow so I should be able to start posting again... maybe think of some good poems. I love writing poems. Have any ideas for a good poem let me know. Always looking for ideas.
