I'd Like To — A Poem by Shlok Sharma
I'd Like To
By Shlok Sharma, grade 5, Welch Elementary School, Naperville
Teach my dog some Kung Fu, turn all the bullies blue, Live the life as will.i.am, throw objects like chocolate or ham. Be a hero like Harry or Percy, Have every world leader at my mercy.
Get rid of the job of a teacher, have a mansion with awesome features, Have a monkey that sings, do tons of exciting things. Be a frozen ninja in space, win a 100 km race.
