Marianna's Poem

Music makes me happy
And so does book club
Reading is a joy to me
In all of your company
Along with my friends
Now and through eternity
Now you know a bit about me
Ask me more a good friend you will be


Buddies in the summer
Oceans of fun
Oceans of Poems
Kittens are Cute

Cake we can eat
Love to do reading
U can come too!
Be a friend


Silly, giggly, having fun
Lots of poems when we are done
I like to come to book club
I like to see all my buds
I like to read lots of poems
I have lots of friends to show ’em
I tell my friends about book club
Tell them to join my buds-
We laugh, and read and have fun
From the start until we are done!


The sun in shiny and the sky is bright.
People at the Book Club are funny.
We are family at the Book Club too
So are we too
We met a friend at the book club too.
It’s fun to be with people too.
