                                                            EWE CAN DO SHEEP WORDPLAY

       

        Using "Mary Had a Little Lamb' as pattern, write a whole new poem.

        Here's an example from Wool Gathering:

                    Itchy is a little lamb

                    His fleece is white as rice

                    You wonder how he got his name?

                    Just ask his fleas and lice!

            Here is a pattern to follow.

                                    _____had a little _______

                                    His/her _____was __ as __

                                    Everywhere that _____went

                                    The ____ was sure to ____

            Example:

                                    Justin had a little fish.

                                    Her scales were blue as water.

                                    Everywhere that Justin went

                                    The fish was sure to totter.

           

            Feel free to change the verbs and adjectives!
