Anson's Poem

Anson's Poem

It is always fun to find little things in the boys' backpacks from school that give some insight into what they are thinking and how they view things.  Anson just finished studying different types of poems in his second grade class.  This was the worksheet that he used to create a poem.  It is pretty funny and also touching.  Clearly he really misses his sister and recognizes his father's aversion to screaming girls.
