This is yesterday’s poem. I did write it yesterday but then I had a bout of indecision about it because it breaks my self imposed rule. This poem is for R who is a literal baby and doesn’t know what a poem is. However I accepted the prompt given on R’s behalf before I’d instituted my rule that the prompts have to be in the kid’s own words.
Anyway, R likes beans so here’s a late, illicit, silly bean poem.
String beans
Baked beans
Broad beans
Borlotti beans
Red beans
Green beans
Oh what a lotta beans
Beans on the table
Beans on the floor
Beans in my belly
More More More!
String beans
Baked beans
Broad beans
Borlotti beans
Red beans
Green beans
Oh what a lotta beans
Beans on a beanstalk
Beans in a tin
Beans on toast and
Beans in the bin
String beans
Baked beans
Broad beans
Borlotti beans
Red beans
Green beans
Oh what a lotta beans
Beans in a bean bag
Beans in a stew
Beans on me and
Beans on you.
String beans
Baked beans
Broad beans
Borlotti beans
Red beans
Green beans
Oh what a lotta beans!
