Every Time I Climb a Tree by David McCord (our favorite)

Every time I climb a tree
Every time I climb a tree
Every time I climb a tree
I scrape a leg
Or skin a knee
And every time I climb a tree
I find some ants
Or dodge a bee
And get the ants
All over me

And every time I climb a tree
Where have you been?
They say to me
But don't they know that I am free
Every time I climb a tree?
I like it best
To spot a nest
That has an egg
or maybe three

And then I skin
The other leg
But every time I climb a tree
I see a lot of things to see
Swallows rooftops and TV
And all the fields and farms there be
Every time I climb a tree
Though climbing may be good for ants
It isn't awfully good for pants
But still it's pretty good for me
Every time I climb a tree

Alex's repitition poem:

My Cat is Stupid

My cat is stupid
She jumped on a puzzle
She knocked the pieces down
My cat is stupid

My cat is stupid
She got in the shower
She turned it on
My cat is stupid

My cat is stupid
She jumped in a flower pot
It had mud in it
My cat is stupid.
