Funny poems

" A Poem for a Pickle" is a book filled with poetry and all of them are meant to be funny. They have some that have repetitive words in them and some are meant to be sung. There is even one wrote at the tune of old smokey. The poem that I sung in my head while reading was "1,2,3", because each word in the poem at the end of each sentence is repeated three times. Another poem that is clever is " Brother Pete". It is about a boy who will only eat anything sweet and it is very relatable to anyone who has a younger brother, which i do have. I think all the poems in the book can be quite relatable and it is a great book for introducing children to poetry. ( )
