And this is how I started my weekend......
If one ever asks me why kids laugh, I would be like “they are always happy.” Well I don’t have a better answer because there are several times that I’ll look at my little cousin who's always busy trying to chase a dog he can’t catch. But he never stops chasing it and all he does is laugh all the way during the run. So I end up concluding that kids have an amazing sense of humor. It is inward-built, because they literally laugh at anything; even things that we grown-ups find ridiculous and not funny.

So this weekend, as I was going through my cousin’s
school stuffs, I came across a couple of poems for children. After reading some bits
of them I just ended up laughing. It felt like a child really wrote some of them. I've decided to share some of them. And here they go.
These two were originally written by Rose Amy Fyleman an English writer and poet.
Singing-Time
And always, the very first thing,
I poke out my head and sit up in bed
And I sing and I sing and I sing.
Mice are nice
I think mice
Are rather nice
Their tails are long,
Their faces small
They haven’t any chins at all.
Their ears are pink,
Their teeth are white,
They run about the house at night.
They nibble things they shouldn’t touch,
And no one seems to like them much,
But I think mice are
nice
And then this next one made my day, I laughed and laughed
and laughed. I searched on the internet to find out the person who originally
wrote it. I didn’t find precise data but I got a little something and you can read the rest of the poem from here
If children ruled the world
If children ruled the world,
Vegetables would be banned,
And adults would be sent to bed at eight
Right across the land.
Teachers would wear uniform
And be told what to do,
They’d have to sit in rows all day
With no trips to the loo.
So that's how I started my weekend.
You all have a blessed weekend.
