Poetry:  

Read the following poem and complete the following activities:  

It’s raining in my bedroom. 
It’s been this way all week. 
I think the upstairs neighbour’s plumbing 
might have sprung a leak. 
They may be on vacation. 
They must be out of town. 
And, all the while, my bedroom rain 
continues pouring down. 
My shoes have gotten soggy. 
My bed is growing mold. 
A pond is forming on my floor. 
It’s all so wet and cold, 
that frogs have started spawning. 
An otter wandered through 
with salmon splashing upstream, 
and some guy in a canoe. 
Now waves are growing larger. 
The weather’s turning grim. 
A tide is rising rapidly. 
I’m glad that I can swim. 
My parents called the plumber. 
He’s nowhere to be seen. 
Does anybody know where I 
can buy a submarine? 

 — Kenn Nesbitt
