Cornucopia: Chores Are Fun

Chores Are Fun!

by Kate Chamberlin

I’m a little robot,

Short and squat;

Here is my start button,

Here is my solar battery.

Just bop my head,

I’ll  vacuum the floor,

scrub the tub,

and dust the hall.

Chores are such fun.

I Toot my horn,

Blink my lights,

and squeak my wheels.

May my chores  never be done.

Cornucopia: Rainy Day

A Rainy Day

By Kate Chamberlin

The rain splats across the window,

Thunder rumbles ominous and low.

Pull the covers back up to your chin,

It will be a good day to stay in.

The plip plopping of a rain drop

Cascading from flower anther to leaf top,

Is like the lively volley of the tennis game

That will be postponed -what a shame.

Fill your mug with tea and cream,

Enter a realm of thought and dream.

Reach for the long forgotten book,

Curl up in a warm, cozy nook.
