For my sons, Joshua and Samuel.
There was a little Rock Monster
Way down in a mine,
He went for a walk one day
Some crystals to find.
But instead of some crystals,
The Rock Monster found:
A Power Miner digging
Deep down in the ground.
The Power Miner gasped
“You gave me a scare!”
The Rock Monster told him
“I just hoped you’d share.”
The Power Miner thought
“I know I should be kind.
And I have extra crystals
So I really don’t mind.”
The Rock Monster said politely,
“Thank you very much.”
Then he took the crystals home
And ate them for lunch!
Mm-mm. Tasty!

I can't wait to read this to Lane!
I read this to Lane and he smiled, then said, "Could you print that out and I'll go draw it!" I obliged, pasting the words into a blank document to give him plenty of space. He is now working on illustrating the poem! :) Thanks so much for posting this!

That's great. R really enjoyed it too. I liked the "Mm-mmm...tasty!" bit at the end. Great idea to print it off and illustrate it. I think we will do that this weekend!!
Joshua loved reading it when he came home from school. Now Anna wants me to write a poem about fairies.
