So So Sonnets

Sometimes, on weekends, if I am lucky,

I go to the office, and I have to be good, not yucky.

I can do a lot of stuff, help and do chores,

And I even get a few fun tours.

After we work very hard,

We can have a nice, little snack.

The warehouse is about fourteen hundred square yards!

Many office workers work in the back.

When I get to see the office,

My mom always tells me, “Lower your voice to the softest,

‘Cause then, we don't disturb my employees!”

Oh, and these products, please, don’t destroy these!”

So if we act good, if we act our best,

We can go to the office, a place I don't detest.

You know, I use that app called Zoom.

And it's not like the solid things, for example, the loom.

And we can even use the chat feature, where you don't have to talk,

And you can rest your feet, you don't need to walk.

I use it to meet for school,

Admittedly, it's pretty cool.

And then, I can also meet my pals,

It's sorta awesome, all in all.

We have these rooms,

Where you can work together,

And they’re clean, so you don't need brooms,

And it doesn't matter whether you have bad or fair weather!

It's nice to do virtual school, and meet all my peeps,

But when we can do real school, my heart will give a leap.

I have these pink flops,

With striped white tops.

They’re called my “inside shoes.”

“Wear them, or wash,” my mom told me to choose.

Obviously, I chose to wear,

I don't wanna wash my socks!

FYI, brown is the color of my hair,

If I don't wear my shoes, my socks can become the color of my locks.

And I guess I could say,

I've grown quite used to it.

So now, it's easy for me to say “OK.”

I've started to love my inside flops, bit by bit!

And so if I don't wear them, I feel weird, almost naked,

Almost as weird as if someone shouted, “Hey, kid.”

I was once given a pair of wheels,

Hot pink and black in colors.

I admit, I wanted wheels the color teal,

But I was ok with pink, Dad says they cost a lot in dollars.

I went to try them out,

In a place called Sinnott School.

When I fall, I don’t give my face a pout, 

I try to act ‘too cool.’

I love my Rollerblade,

Even in hot pink and black.

I always don't want any aid,

While I'm learning to do a trick and hack!

I always want to ride my skates,

And to those who want to skate too, it’s open gates!

Ya know, you should eat vegetables and fruits,

Out of snacks?  You can use them as substitutes.

For instance, there are orange and apple,

And if you can, reel them in and grapple.

I’m nine, so I have to eat nine veggies a day,

Whereas scientists say, “Eat more before the souffle.”

My favorite’s probably the onion (if it's with soup),

I don't really like them, but my dad always gives a whoop!

And of course, we can't leave out fruits, like the kiwi,

That one I like, so when I see it I shout out “wheeeeeee!”

It's probably my fave, though I also like strawberry,

That's why I wish there was something like a strawberry-kiwi fairy!

So, all in all, I like fruits; vegetables, not really.

I’d rather eat nine fruits than nine vegetables, ideally.
