  This poem was written nearly two years ago, by my mother and myself. She would write one line, and I would come up with the next. I wasn't sure how to categorize it.

I broke my toenail on a stone,
I cried for Mom, but I was alone.
I scratched my ear on a little twig,
I didn't cry, and I felt big.
I scorched my tongue on hot choc'lit,
I couldn't have a band-aid, and threw a fit.
A sticker stuck me in the shin,
Did big brother have to grin?
I couldn't have cookies, so my tummy hurt,
But everything else tastes like dirt.
I lost my shoe, now Mommy's mad,
It didn't help that she told Dad.
Everything I do is wrong,
Just like I said in my sad song.
