Kids Poem: School Bus Hot Tub

kids poem bus hot tub

Our school bus has a hot tub.
It’s a great way to relax.
The kids all wear their swimsuits
and share their homemade snacks.

I like I can unwind
from the stressfulness of math
and then before my bedtime
I get to skip my bath!

We all think that it’s fun
when the driver slams his breaks
because the floor gets filled
with tiny, little lakes.

Short Kids Poem: Flowers

short kids flower poem

My flowers are not growing.
They’re as small as small can be.
I think they would tiny
even if I were a flea.

I read in an old book,
“They’ll grow if they are fed
a tiny drop of hot sauce”
so I soaked the flower bed.

The hot sauce worked too well.
They grew ten stories tall.
I love to admire them
… but I’m really scared for fall!

Short Kids Poem: Elephant

short kids elephant poems

I took an elephant
to the swimming pool
and learned a good lesson:
I felt just like a fool!

He always budged in line
at the diving board
and trumpeted his nose
whenever he felt bored.

He ate all of the snacks.
He drank all of the juice.
And then he yelled at me
because there was no mousse.

He forgot his towel
and told me we could share,
but it was too wet.
I had to dry with air.

He’s never going back!
His mayhem was widespread!
So tomorrow I will bring
an antelope instead.

Kids Poem: Mother’s Day

short kids poem mothers day

This mother’s day will be the best mom’s ever seen
with everything I’ve planned: I’ll treat her like a queen!

There’s nothing as restful as watching the sun rise,
so I’ll wake her up to my loud “Cymbal Surprise”.

To start the day off right I decided I would bake
a gummy worm, toffee, chocolate-frosted cake.

I’ve never met someone that dislikes having fun,
so we’ll play some tag when breakfasts are all done.

And if she’s feeling down, in front of the TV
I’ll sing her fifteen songs about a coughing flee.

Short Kids Poem: Family

short kids poem about family

I’m sure you think your family
is totally bizarre,
but mine is so much stranger
than all of yours by far!

My grandma raises poodles
on the hills of Tuscany
and trains them to be waiters
for the cruise ships out at sea.

My uncle dyes his hair
to look like a snake’s skin,
then hisses like a cobra
as he hides behind a bin.

My aunt seems really shy.
She’s thoughtful and polite —
except she quacks like ducks
whenever there’s no light.

They almost can act normal
if you see them one by one
— but get them all together
and your Christmas is real fun!
