A project of the Columbia
River Cowboy Heritage Society is the sharing of our western and
cowboy heritage with the youth of today. The following poems are
a welcome and rewarding result of that activity. The young folks are from 3rd grade classes at Ruth Livingston School in Pasco, Washington. Surnames are not published in the interest of the poet's privacy. Please click on the list entries below to go directly to specific poems. Dirty Dog By Roman V. I have a dog that is furry and tall He likes to chase and catch a ball If it goes in the mud, he gets all dirty Then I clean him off with a hose that's squirty Back to Top I Wish By Ashley I wish I had a limousine That carried around a trampoline 't would be the biggest car I've ever seen And there would be nothing in between Back to Top Happy Birthday By Jeremy Happy birthday to my dog Katie May you live to be age eighty Our last dog got smacked by a truck So I hope you have some better luck Back to Top Silly Dragon By Michael I wish I had a dragon Whose tongue is sometimes waggin' It's tail is always draggin' It breathes fire and cooks me bacon Back to Top An Unusual Horse By Gavin There was an unusual horse He wanted his own race course But he couldn't of course He was just a farm horse Back to Top Sweaty Socks By Adrian My dog likes to bite my toe Why she does, I think I know Her club house is the laundry box She likes the taste of sweaty socks Back to Top American Cutey By Gabriel My dog likes to dig in the dirt So I bought him a colorful shirt It's a red, white and blue beauty The words say "An American Cutey" Back to Top The Weird Fish By Kirsten My fish had a wish to dive But he was afraid he wouldn't survive 'cause the water was not sufficiently deep So he said "I'm just going to go to sleep" Back to Top Brooke By Shelby I heard about a rodeo I told Brooklyn I wanted to go I didn't have my own horse, though So I couldn't ever win some dough Back to Top My Fish By Teighan I once had a yellow fish Who really hated his dish He wished for a big bowl But only got coal Back to Top My Dog Chloe By Lacie My dog has a broken leg But she can still sit up and beg According to what my mother observed It wasn't what Chloe deserved Back to Top The Dog By Shaelynn I found a dog Who lived in a log He lived by the river Which made him shiver I took him home one day And forever he would stay Back to Top Summer By Nariah Summer is a marvelous season It's hot and that's the reason You can go outside every day And run through the sprinkler spray Back to Top To the Rodeo By Orinda I brang my horse to the rodeo But he just would not get up and go Oh, that stubborn, lazy horse! He doesn't want to run the course Back to Top My Turtle By Orinda I have a turtle His Name is Myrtle I wanted to name him "Squirt" My brother said "no!" with a blurt Back to Top Zittle Star By Skylar If I caught a zittle star I'd keep it in a jar And if I took it to Ms Dunbar Would she think it was bizarre? Back to Top My Cat By Remy My cat is fat and lazy What she does is kind of crazy In the laundry she like to doze So there is cat hair on the clothes Back to Top Wishing By Jasmine She likes to swish She made the best wish For a new sparkling dish What a weird little fish Back to Top Three Horses By RaiAnn I have two horses that are faster than slick But I have another that is slower than quick So whenever they race, she comes in last She's my favorite even though she ain't fast Back to Top Horse By Daisy I had a horse, his name was Able I liked to keep him in a stable I took him to a rodeo He won a ribbon and some dough Back to Top The Two Slugs By Emily I have two slugs that aren't too fast One is first and the other last The reason that they are so slow Is just because they stop and go Back to Top Loopey Snoopy By Samantha My dog wants to get on the table But he is small, so he is unable He jumps up on the chair but he slips When he gets excited, he almost does flips Back to Top My Goat By Nick My goat eats all he can see Grass, plastic and even a tree But it won't eat a coat And definitely not a boat Back to Top How Many Cats? By Dylan I think I have nine cats But I can never be so shore They jump around like acrobats And mother cat makes more Back to Top Autumn Orange By Shiraz Orange is the color of the sunset at night Orange is the color of the first pumpkin in sight Orange is the color of leaves from the tree Orange is the color in fall that you see Back to Top Halloween Night By Shiraz All throughout the scary night Ghosts and goblins give a fright Princesses throughout the land Can always lend a helping hand Trick-or-treaters out at night Go back home at very first light Back to Top The Fat Cat By Roman R. Wilbur is my cat But I just call him Willie He is big and fat Because he eats lots of chili Back to Top Pay Back By Luis We have two cats and a hound The dog pushes the cats around This goes on both night and day But momma cat makes the dog pay Back to Top Animals at the Bus Stop By David There were animals at the bus stop We made the chickens run and hop We picked grass and the horse ate some But the lazy cow would not come Back to Top I had a Cat By Korrin I had a cat who loved to purr And she had fluffy fur She looked very cute In her very nice suit That fit her quite nice And she enjoyed eating mice Back to Top Grandma's Place By Karli My Grandma has a happy place It has jots of room and space There are fields and sheds to explore And lot of cool things behind each door Back to Top |
