I put my shirt on backward,
then made it a new fashion trend.

She tied her shoes together,
creating a new game.

He emptied his dad’s shaving cream,
only to design art on the walls.

They tracked mud through the halls,
to go searching for the mud monster.

I walked around in mom’s high heels,
making that galloping-horse sound.

She made a mess of the kitchen,
wanting to surprise us with cookies.

He didn’t eat any of his lunch,
and others shared with him at school.

They trashed the living room furniture,
turning it into a fort for movie night.

These are a few of my favorite things.


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem to have a negative feeling at first, but in the end turn into something positive. The title is a negative word, making the reader assume the feel of the poem. As the poem is read, it turns into a positive outcome, and the poem chose to enjoy the moments instead of critiquing them.
