There Once Was...

By: Hope Gardner

There once was a girl from Kentucky,

she always won at games

but, all the same she had a pet gerbil

named “Unlucky.”

There once was a boy from Maine,

but he dreamed of living in Spain,

And try as he might he could never find

the right ticket as he boarded the plane.

There once was a woman from Minnesota,

her father Lived in South Dakota,

She visited him yearly

‘Cause she loved him dearly

And her favorite food was bologna.

There once was a man from Tennessee,

When he went shopping he would buy a new

golf tree, his wife told him “Stop it!”

But he couldn’t just drop it

And in the end he had one hundred and three.
