library book

Me and my friend Angela love poetry so much. We write itall the time, even when she spends the night. We went tothe library and this was sitting on the shelf of new books.Mrs. Johnson (at the library) said it was really good, sowe took it out. I wish I could ask the author of this bookwhy she didn't write a poem about riding bikes. That wouldhave been good. But we like the one about the broom.And the roller coaster. Yay rah for poems!
