A Guest Blog...With Some Editorial Comments
One of our long term goals for our children is that they would not only be independent learners, but that they would love to learn. This week, our eldest read a parody of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwoky in a library book. With permission from mom, she went online to find and read the original poem (and some really funny parodies that are floating around).
After yesterday's (cough) "field trip" to Sea World, she produced her own parody. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

JabberSeaWorld
Twas’ chilly, and at Dolphin Cove
The sleek grey mammals made some waves.
All whimsy were the polar bears,
The sea turtles looked grave.
Beware the Kraken ride, my son.
Its floorless terror has many killed
Beware the orca whale and shun
The water it has spilled.
He took his water gun in hand,
Long time the speeding foe he sought.
So rested he by the Jazzy Jellies,
And stood a while in thought.
And as in thoughts of ice cream pops
The Kraken ride, with screaming voice
Came rushing through the penguin show
And screeched to a stop.
One-Two! One-Two! And through and through
The water gun goes splish and splash.
He left it dead, and with its head
He rode Atlantis back.
And hast thou killed the Kraken ride?
Come to my arms, my soaking boy!
Oh what a day! Shamu! Hooray!
He waddled in his joy.
