A Stick Can Be

A stick can be this
A stick can be that
A stick can be anything
Skinny or fat

A stick can be long
A stick can be short
A stick can be a pole
In my treehouse fort

A stick can be a cane
A stick can be a sword
I can be a knight
Or a mighty overlord

A stick can be round
A stick can be flat
A stick can be this
A stick can be that

  2. This isn't a poem meant to pave the way for some really crappy Christmas presents for your kids, is it?

    "Hey kids! It's a bundle of sticks! Remember that poem I read you? Sticks are great! They allow you to use your imagination!"

    The hidden costs of home ownership getting to you, TEW?

  3. Hey, great poem! But I have to say, PMM's comments almost steal the show.

    Are either of you going to SCBWI LA this year?

  4. Sharon - Thank ya.

    PMM - Birthday and Christmas. The Easter bunny brought no eggs this year, only the cartons. Every time I go to Osh or Home Depot I spend money I didn't plan on spending. It has slowed down at least.

    Chris, I'll be going since it's in my backyard. Looks like another good lineup of speakers/faculty. I've been trying to talk PMM into coming, even offered him free drinks and lodging. It's an expensive trip for out-of-towners, I get it.

  5. Yeah, it is expensive, I wouldn't be going again this year if it weren't for the fact that a significant portion of my expenses are covered. (A perk of being RA for SCBWI Dakotas.)
