Short Kids Poem: Standing on a Chair

short kids poem chair
I’m standing on a chair!
I’m standing on a chair!
I don’t know why Mom’s worried
I’m just standing on a chair!

You’d think she’d be freaked out
By the lion in my room
But seeing shoes on fabric
Is what really makes her fume.

I bath with toxic jellyfish.
I ride a crocodile.
But if I’m on the sofa then
Her mood becomes hostile.

I often sleep with scorpions
And wrestle with a bear.
I don’t know why Mom’s worried.
I’m just standing on a chair!

  1. Oh how I love making mud cakes,
    When it’s raining, I run out the door.
    After I get back inside, Mom calls:
    “Take off your shoes and please clean the floor!”

    • Great rhyme, Adam! I’m guessing your mom didn’t like shoes on the chairs either :)

  2. In what book/books is your poem “I’m standing in a chair” published?
    I just ordered “My sister steals my shoes” and I’m hoping it is in there.
