A Happy Day


Don't you think
it would be cool
if mom and dad let me
drive to school?

I'd be ready on time,
sometimes even early,
cause I want to go
with my bestie Shirley.

I'll drive the car
Shirley will play,
and I'm almost certain
we can find the way.

Kids will admire us
as they ride on their bike,
and we'll sing along
with the songs that we like.

There is only one problem
that worries me still -
I'm a bit small yet
and can't reach the wheel.


Wishing you all
a happy, cake-filled day.

Lovely Shirley beside cake, and I smiled in the last sentence :)
When I met my niece who is 7 years old, I want to read and show yours for her <3

These poems are just a delight and must make children giggle. I lke the near rhyme in the last stanza. I’d be working with “squeal” or “real/reel” or something average like that. The cake looks yummy. Is that Shirley in pink?

Rosie said...

Is that carrot? Cuz if that's carrot cake, I want some! Eating cake beats driving any day, in my book. :) Hugs, sweet friend!

Oops, that should read, "Is that carrot cake?"

SO cute. And this made me smile as my mother's name was Shirley.

Carola Bartz said...

Might be a good thing that she can't reach the wheel yet (and probably the pedals either...)!

Carolina G. Ticala said...

Estupenda tu entrada! Espero verte pronto por mi blog! Feliz fin de semana precios@! ♥️♥️♥️

Balvinder said...

That's a very lovely poem. Amalia! I have a friend whose 12 year old daughter started writing a blog when she was 8- or 9. She writes poems, love crafts, handmade cards for her family and friends. I don't know if she still writes I never asked. Will find out.

Nancy Chan said...

Very nice poem. I would love a piece of that cake. Happy day!

Poções de Arte said...

rsrs pequeno e ainda tem muito o que aproveitar a vida, sem se preocupar com dirigir.
O bolo parece delicioso!

Abraços esmagadores e dias felizes.

Dewena said...

I can picture my 6, almost 7, year old granddaughter feeling exactly this way! May that time be a long way off. But that cake, is it carrot? Instant craving!

Existe Sempre Um Lugar said...

Bom dia, o poema é lindo e o bolo é saboroso certamente.

Another brilliant poem, Amalia!
This is absolutely my favourite verse:
"Kids will admire us as they ride on their bike,
and we'll sing along with the songs that we like."
Such a gorgeously joyful and happy image!

Liz That Skinny Chick Can Bake said...

Mmmmm....I want a cake filled day, too, but a lemon tart will have to do! Have a delicious weekend, my friend!

Zaza said...

Thanks for your poem, Amalia:) It makes me smile.
Your cake looks delightful, yum yum yum!

Jodiebodie said...

Haha! Cute rhyme. Pertinent to my family as we have young drivers and drivers-to-be. Your poetry gave me a giggle. Thank you for a bright moment in an ordinary day.

The Liberty Belle said...

Too cute! I enjoyed that... even the thought about having a cake filled day!

Carolina G. Ticala said...

Que rico! Te espero por mi blog! Feliz noche! ♥️♥️♥️

Karen @ Beatrice Euphemie said...

Such a fun poem, Amalia and thank goodness those little ones can't reach the wheel! My children managed to loose the brakes on the family car one day and it glided into the bushes! No harm done, but they learned their lesson :) Any day with cake is my favorite day. Hugs to you xo Karen

Maggie Ann said...

Ahh, that is sweet! You are amazing...

Karen (Back Road Journal) said...

This gave me a smile. While I’m old enough to drive I barely see over the steering wheel. 😊
