Poem: Africa Continent Rhyme

In Africa there were many empires and civilizations,
Like Mali ruled by Mansa Mosa,
Over time they became nations,
With languages like Zulu and Xhosa.

Extremes in the U.S.

Wet: Mount Waialele, Hawaii

There is a huge amount of rain on Mount Waialele,

Much more than you can imagine there may be.

Not far away it is very dry,

And the amount of rain goes down by two times five.

Dry: Death Valley, California/Nevada

In Death Valley it is very dry,

And the temperature is very high,

It is also very low,

To Death Valley lots of people go.

Hot: Death Valley, California/Nevada

In Death Valley it is very hot,

Unlike Minneapolis where it is not.

It is also very low,

To Death Valley lots of people go.

Cold: Barrow, Alaska

In Barrow it is very cold,

So unless you are Amundsen, Roald,*

Never ever ever go there,

It is probably too cold for a polar bear.

*- Roald Amundsen was the first person to reach the South Pole.

High: Mount McKinley, Alaska

McKinley is the tallest mountain in the USA,

On it, it'll always be a cold day,

Oh, Oh, it is cold and high,

On it your eggs will never fry.

Low: Death Valley, California/Nevada

In Death Valley it is very low,

To Death Valley lots of people go,

It is also very dry,

And the temperature is very high.

Poem: He kicked the ball away

He kicked the ball away

It was hot May,

He was eating a sundae,

And looking at the trees sway,

He kicked the ball away,

On to parks where children play,

On to roads of gray,

On to a highway,

Into downtown San Jose,

Into a restaurant tray,

In Subway,

And into the chefs’ pay,

Into the office of Dr. Tay,

When she was using a x-ray,

Into the playoffs of the NBA,

Where Boston defeated LA,

Into some yellow hay,

Where a sleeping horse lay,

Into the country of Chile,

Where it was struck by a sun ray,

Then into Paraguay,

And then into Uruguay,

Onto the bay,

Where a potter was baking clay,

And where it was chased by a stingray,

But it bounced on to a quay,

Then to a cay,

Where it was pushed by a blue jay,

Now our song is over - yay!

Have a wonderful day!
