Squished Butter

I wanted to share with you a poem that Drake wrote a couple weeks ago. His assignment was to write a cause and effect poem on anything he wanted to. Here it is...

Squished Butter

Oh that wonderful mother

With that pitiful brother

Who squished her butter

That pitiful brother, who squished the butter

Tried to hide his shame

“Oh where did I put that butter!” said the wonderful mother
“Under the cover is where the butter is.” says the brother
“Under the cover?” the wonderful mother asks,
“Why is it under the cover?”
Because I squished the butter, and I had to hide my shame
So I covered the butter
“Please don’t hurt me you wonderful mother.” says the pitiful brother
“I will not scold you nor hurt you for I have more butter.”

We were unsure of how to format the poem, but I was surprised that he came up with this subject. I coudn't help but wonder if his feelings were being expressed in this poem somehow. He said he was just hungry at the time. :-)
