The
Great Invention
I
found a screw on the ground…
What
did it hold?
Maybe
something new…
No…probably
something old.
Looking
at the threads, it could hold anything very tight.
If
screwed in just the right place, would hold stuff just right.
It
would not wiggle, or flop around.
It
would stay there all year and not fall on the ground.
I
started wondering what I could do with my screw.
It
had possibilities… That I KNEW!
I’ll
keep it hidden
Right
here in my pocket
I’ll
make something big…
My
invention will
be
a
ROCKET!
Red,
White and Blue, the colors they’ll be
When
I have it finished, it will be as tall as a TREE!
My
Dad’s ladder will make a good GANTRY.
I
will need some snacks, which are up in the pantry.
The
cardboard in the garage and tape in the shed
Will
make a rocked my friends will certainly dread.
They
will all stand away when I launch it in the sky.
They
will wonder out loud saying… “Are you a spy?”
I
found some mud that would be needed for sure,
And
when it takes off, all we’ll see is a blur.
The
flash will surprise them. They will GULP WITH FEAR!
They
will hear a BIG ROAR and will be glad they’re not near.
I
was late getting home that day from school.
My
plans were planned… I saw Jeremy at the pool…
So
I changed my clothes and headed for some fun.
We
had a great time until the setting of the sun.
After
dinner I asked mom if she’d seen my screw.
She
said “Of course. It was in your pants, so I threw
It
away with the rock… but the dime…
It’s
right here AND CLEAN YOUR POCKETS OUT NEXT TIME!”
Hmmmm…
Some
of the biggest plans in your life
May
never go through
So…
Be
safe with your ideas…
ALWAYS
HIDE THEM INSIDE YOUR SHOE!
