Poems about me

My Mother's Day gift from Ben was a book of poems he wrote about me. The kids worked on these all week at school, and these poem books—bound with fat yarn—are impossibly cute.

Here's one, called "My Best Mom: A True Exaggeration Poem"

My mom is the best.
She gets A's on every test.
She can do crosswords at light speed.
And lead the Navy in their deed.
Me and dad love you more than the fanciest cars.
But we should all live on mom's planet Mars.

Come to think of it, Mars is a bit of a rusty orange color, don't you think?

Ben is a genius.

I'd like to see a Navy led by Orange. I agree with FM.

OMG, so awesome! And so much better than another "how my mom looks" poem that I got from Maia (on my blog).

Ben, I love your poem! You are a very talented writer. I had no idea your mom was in the Navy! Was she a Seal?
