Courtney's Poem

Courtney's teacher gave her an assignment for the holidays. She had to write a poem about a topic that you liked. So this is what she wrote:

Cat Soup
By: Courtney Zierenberg

The cat is fat,
The rat is hungry,
Dawn is breaking,
The world becomes sunny,
And the soup is getting hot!!!

The rat is getting hungrier,
The cat is supicious,
The rat is taking action,
The cat... looks so delicious,
And the soup is getting hot!!!

The rat sneaks into the night,
Leaving all his fear behind,
YIPS! The cat yells from the bushes below,
But knowone hears his cries,
The more time he takes,
The more the soup gets hot!!!

Into the kitchen without a sound,
The rat runs through the night,
Stealing vegetables and spices,
For his soup... a delight,
And remember the soup is getting hot!!!

Back to the burrow he ran,
And there sat a pot and a frying pan,
In went the vegetables,
And in went the spices,
And in went the mouse,
Because the cat traded places!!!
