A Poem About the Letters in my name

The Letters in my name

By Maddie Armstrong

 
M is for my love of monkeys, aren’t they fun?
A is for anything and everything under the sun
The first d is for donuts, donkeys and a doorknob
The second d is for my dad, who teaches art, that’s his job!
I is for my imagination, vast and wide
E is for elephants. If I had a pet elephant, I’d name him Clyde
A is for Austria, a place I’d like to visit one day
R is for reading. Give me a good book and I’ll be happy and say “hooray!”
The second m is for musicals. I like Wicked most of all!
S is for Stars Hollow, a fictional town that is crazy and small
T is for the Tenth Doctor, need I say more?
The second r is for rain thundering down. The sound of it thrills me to the core
O is for owls, orangutans and okapi, three animals I find interesting and strange
N is for Napa, where my grandparents used to live! (now they live near a mountain range)
G is for goodbye! (this is the end of the poem)
Wait, don’t go yet, here, have a jeroboam! (hey, YOU find something else that rhymes with poem)
