Very original and cute poem. I love it.
The last stanza made laugh specially the
last three lines...

Your mama's is wrong
Don't cross the line
What's mine is mine.

Always a pleasure to read your work dear Brooke.

Cute picture, Brooke, with a cute and very whimsical poem. Nice rhyme throughout this minute poem and, as always, a pleasure to read.

I really enjoyed reading this, and the photo is a hoot - brilliant one to complement your words. Sharing is a wonderful thing for children to learn and get used to, but we adults sometimes need a reminder in that lesson too. Seems like Dad does here...

Sorry I'm not qualified to comment on the technical aspects.

Good one!

This is a poem that children will enjoy reading, it is also fun and holds a message. The picture is funny and complements it very well. I liked particularly the last stanza. Quite original.

Brooke: delightful as always with another fabulous picture of Sawyer learning another lesson about life. Let the little "sponge" continue to soak up everything he needs to know; such a cutie. Good write. Linda

This is a very cute and funny poem. Dad's aren't so great at the sharing thing :-) Of course, what a perfect picture! Gave me a laugh.

First of all, I've never heard of a minute poem (I don't think) until now. A fun post, Brooke, with a line that reminded me of one my mum used to say:

"What's yours is mine, and what's mine's my own."

Can't lose, really! LOL!

Wonderful pic, and the prefect poem to go with it. The look on Dad's face is priceless!

I really enjoyed reading your poem. My class this year is the first class I have ever had that knows nothing about sharing. I always provide the class supplies because only a few of my students have supplies, so they are all the same. I hear "he has my crayon or he touched my desk." All day. I am amazed at this. Of course, you can't learn to share unless you feel you have something to share.

    Barbara, thank you so much. I'm sure when they have things of their own for the first time it is much harder to share than for kids who have everything they could ever wish for. My daughter notices that with the little girl she nannies. She has absolutely no eagerness for Hanukkah or birthday gifts in the way most kids get all excited. When she wants something she gets it, no matter the time of year. She appreciates a present once she gets it, but she is not making lists and waiting for the day to come, and if Sawyer comes to visit her, she doesn't care if he wants her to share. This is not because she is more highly evolved - it's because she knows she'll always have more than enough. Brooke

Hi Brooke,

Very Cute and most likely true too! I never realized a minute poem had 60 syllables. Of course I've never written one either. You didn't have any trouble with the 60 syllables nor change of rhyme in every verse. Nice job My Friend and comical to boot! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is quite a catchy little poem, Brooke, and I feel as if I could almost sing to it. Tell Andy I said bean sprouts are very good for you! It sounds like those boys are forming a union! LOL Giddy
