Christmas Poems For Two Voices
(Isabelle)
Me and Sally are pals!
(Teacher)
Sally and I are pals.
(Isabelle)
I didn’t know you knew her!
(Teacher)
I don’t.
(Isabelle)
Then why did you say,
“Me and Sally are pals?”
(Teacher)
Sally and I are pals.
(Isabelle)
You said it again!
You said,
“Me and Sally are pals!”
(Teacher)
Sally and I are pals!
(Isabelle)
Have it your own way.
You and her are pals.
But I don’t believe it,
And Sally won’t neither!

Green (Like Grass) With Envy
Y: I want to be the oldest.
The oldest does things first.
O: I wish I were the youngest,
Being oldest is the worst.
I’m always the example,
Don’t dare make one mistake.
Y: Like I would KNOW – my bedtime comes
And you are STILL awake.
O: I have to do my HOMEWORK!
Y: I’ve homework, too, you know.
O: You COLOR, cut out pictures!
I do MATH and READ and…
Y: SO! You think I LIKE to color?!
I want to add, subtract,
Read books with lots of pages…
O: So you say, but it’s a FACT
That once a kid can do those things
He wishes he could PLAY,
But then he has no time for that…
Y: Oh yeah, that’s what YOU say.
You ride your bike ALL OVER!
I can’t go ANYWHERE,
And you’re the one with TONS of games…
O: I always have to SHARE.
Y: I HAVE TO wear your hand-me-downs,
Your clothes are always NEW.
O: If you think SHOPPING’S lots of fun
You haven’t got a clue.
Y: Your allowance, it is BIGGER.
O: My CHORES are bigger too.
Y: You have your OWN computer.
O: You’ve used MINE since you were two.
Y: Last week you got a CELL PHONE.
O: And you will too someday…
Y: When I have TROUBLE HEARING
And all my hair is grey!
O: I wish I were the youngest,
Being oldest is the worst.
Y: I wish I were the oldest.
I wish I’d been born first.
