Short Kids Poem: Halloween Costume

short kids poem costume
For Halloween I dressed as Clipper-Vix-Vad,
the scariest beast that the world’s ever had.

His deafening howl can send chills to the bone.
His eyes have been known to turn men into stone.

He’s mean to the core and as sharp as a tack.
Don’t go out alone! (If you do, watch your back.)

He’s ten times as deadly as a battleship,
but sadly he looks like a big paperclip.

Short Kids Poem: Car

kids poem parking sign

My father is proud of the car he just bought.
It’s the top-of-the-line! Newest car on the lot!

If you step on the gas, it will purr like a jet.
There isn’t a race car that’s beaten us yet.

But I am ashamed when he drives me to school:
It looks like a toilet (with pooh for its fuel!)

Parents Aren’t Perfect

tissue box

Last month my son got sick and I thought I was helping him, but when I called the nurse hotline, she recommended the opposite of what I was doing. Aside from the fact that I’d be the worst doctor, that experience made me realize that parents aren’t perfect: we’re just trying our best.

I think imperfection can be hard to cope with because society tells us we have to be perfect. Buy this product to get the perfect body. Drink this drink to attract the perfect mate. With all those messages of perfection, it’s hard to believe humans are imperfect. We’re all just trying our best.

My wife and I try to embrace our imperfection. It’s our quirks that keep us interesting and human. It’s the imperfections in characters and the flaws in their plans that keep us turning pages in our favorite book.
