And this poem is the one he picked.
Bananananananana
by William Cole
Line A I thought I'd win the spelling bee
Line B And get right to the top
Line C But I started to spell "banana"
Line D And didn't know where to stop.
I asked him to read it himself, which he did quite nicely.
Did the normal thing of what's it called, who wrote it. Then asked what he noticed.
1. MOM.. It's funny! :) Right off the top he giggled at the silliness of this poem.
2. Lines B and D rhyme. Top and Stop.
I asked if there was anything he didn't understand.
His response:
Nope.
Though mom, what's a spelling bee?
My response
Oh.. what where people have contests to see who can spell the most words correctly.
I challenged him to spell Banana.
And he got it correctly. :)
What words could you use if you wanted to continue this poem?
Hop and pop. Or... DROP....
