Ode to Reagan

My nephew, Matt, (age 11) had to write a poem for a school assignment. If you know Matt well, you understand that sitting down and writing a poem is not on his list of fun things to do. (He's more of a science guy.) But despite his protestations, the end product is a sweet poem that our family will cherish for years. If you don't understand the last line, see my previous post entitled, "False Alarm."

Rambling Reagan
by Matt Bower

I have a cousin, who is two and a half
She has curly hair and a cute little laugh.

Reagan Joelle is her name
And rambling around is her game.

She runs around all over the place
And when she hides she leaves not a trace.

She’s loads of fun and as smart as you please
But she loves to touch everything she sees.

She is full of joy and has lots of charm
Except when she pulled the fire alarm.
