Today's Poem had us doing a A-B-A-A-B pattern for rhyming.
I read this poem to my lad and he looked all confuddled.
I tilted my head at him as an invitation to query so of course he did. :)
"Mom, what does that mean.. only the back of him active?"
So I showed him this video.
And he was "OH!"

It's just a simple poem but the rhyming is in a different pattern which makes it interesting, and hey... who doesn't smile at a happy dog running around? They can seem to be so full of glee.
The simplicity allows the reader to consider the actions of the dog and how simple they are and grin in remembrance (at least it does me).
When I asked what other words she could have used, or even what words words rhymed my lad thought of ground hogs...and how a dog could be sniffing after them, even as he said "that wouldn't fit in the poem though mom" and "it wouldn't be as funny if it didn't rhyme".
I think he has a point don't you?
