Big Sprout Inspiration

Big Sprout came out of her room today (the last day of school) to show me a little magazine she got in Reading class. She especially wanted to read me a poem, and I loved it so much I just had to share.

Instructions For the Earth's Dishwasher
By Lisa Westberg Peters

Please set the
continental plates
gently on the
continental
shelves.
No jostling or scraping.

Please
stack the
basins right side up.
No tilting or
turning
upside~down.

Please scrape the
mud
out of the mud pots.
But watch out!
They're still hot.

As for the forks
in the river,
just let them soak.

Remember,
if anything breaks,
it's your fault.

Kinda makes you think, huh?
