What To Do If You Are . . . Poems
Written with our reading buddies from Mrs. McNulty's class
|

What to do if I were a dog.
Play outside on a hot day.
Drink water from my bowl.
Fetching a bone to my master.
Licking my owners face.
R.K. and D.V.
What to do if you are a scaly fish.
Swim in a big blue tank.
Shine in the spotlight of the tank.
Showing off my pretty scales.
Swimming with the other fish.
Sucking up all the food.
Just being a fish.
E.A. and J.H.
What to do if you were a waterfall.
Crash down to the creek.
Splash on the rocks.
J.T., M.P. and E.D.
What to do if you are a thousand dollars.
Going in and out of a cash register.
Buying a webkinz and a Nintendo DS.
Being spent on gifts.
Smelling stinky wallets.
Having a credit card as your best friend.
C.R. and C.H.
What to do if you are a rubber ducky.
Float in the water.
Let people play with you.
Squeak when people squeeze you.
Love getting wet.
L.M. and C.P.
What to do if I was the universe.
Supporting the planets.
Holding life on earth.
Being a world wide mystery.
Stretching as far as the eye can see.
P.W. and J.G.
What to do if you were a river.
Being peaceful.
Letting boats ride on you.
Floating on rocks.
Continuing the waterfall.
Swimming fish in your body.
S.M., F.J. and B.P.
What to do if we were the sun.
Shining on children playing.
Beginning the day with a sunrise.
Soaking up the sky.
Lighting up the day.
Warming up the days.
Reflecting in the water.
D.E., S.M. and K.O.
What to do if I were a tiger.
Jump on my prey.
Scare people out of their minds.
Bite my prey.
Stalk my prey.
Swat at my prey.
G.A. and J.K.
What to do if you were a flower.
Germinate in Spring.
Die in winter.
Blowing petals in the wind.
Get water splashed on you.
Get sunlight from the sun.
Get nutrition from the roots.
F.H., H.D. and E.M.
What to do if you were a flower.
Being pretty is my job.
Blooming in the Spring.
Swaying back and forth in the wind.
Producing seeds all the time.
Painting the ground with colors.
Drinking up water all the time.
K.A., R.H. and M.L.
What to do if you are a smartboard.
Write on it.
Help you learn.
Show pictures.
Let the teacher use you.
Make a bigger screen.
Holds pens and erasers.
Have different colors on you.
Hold up speakers.
Show movies.
Have words on you.
Make loud or soft noises.
Help the teacher teach.

What to do if we were an elephant.
Rolling in the mud.
Eating hay.
Spraying water from his trunk.
Making loud noises at people.
Being scared of mice.
Eating peanuts.
Being really big and chubby.
Hearing everything with their ear.
Trampling little animals.
B.P., W.G. and M.B.
What to do if you are a flower.
Dancing in the breeze.
Dropping your petals.
Making new petals.
Growing very tall.
Letting your colors shine.
Blooming in the spring.
G.E. and A.M.
What to do if you are the night sky.
Scare little children.
Howl like a ghost.
Darken the sky.
Pulling out the moon when the sun goes down.
Grab a cloud over the light.
Helping the stars shine.
Make shadows that look like monsters.
Make no lullabies heard.
Sweep the light out of the sky.
Staying dark until twilight.
L.O., I.W. and S.R.
What to do if you are a castle.
Hold a lord and nights everyday.
Let the servants serve their lord.
Make sure your sturdy.
Have no fear from enemies.
Save the swords for the nights.
G.H. and J.H.
What To Do If You Are A Fall Leaf
Fade slowly from the green of summer.
Shine brightly dappled with orange and yellow.
Dance merrily in the cooling sunshine.
Darken into the dull brown of the coming winter.
Release your hold to the tree that binds.
Float gently to the awaiting earth.
Listen to the laughter of children raking.
Sleep beneath the blanket of winterÕs mantle.
Decay to bring new life to Spring.
Mrs. Ryan
