Shopping for Spoiled Milk

On Sunday, Sally shopped for spoiled milk.
Her last spoiled milk spilt on her quilt.

Spoiled milk is like 70 day-old cheese.
You can never clean it up with ease.

The milk was sloppy yellow jello.
It could make fellows bellow because of the smell-o.

Sally shopped for spoiled milk on Sunday.
It's gonna be worse by Monday!




Here is a poem by Molly C.

I never heard a cat bark,
nor a cow meow.
But if I did,
I would remark,
"How did this happen? How?"
