9. Name that title #4 Purple ball for the puppy.
He's feeling pretty nippy.
Needs to run, maybe.
Chases purple bird
and furry squirrels -
he's zigging, they're zagging.
Puppy tail wags.
Now he drinks cool water
with his purple tongue
slurping.
Julie Larios

11. Name That Title #5 Dogs go in the back seat, Always in the back seat,
Miles in the back seat,
Hours in the back seat.
But in the parking lots of shopping centers,
You’ll see: Dogs get their chance
At last
To drive.
James Stevenson

14. Name That Title #6 Ice Cream on a stick,
Covered with cold, shiny chocolate,
Or ice cream heaped up in a cone,
Dripping fast on a hot day,
Or ice cream in a big blue bowl
And a spoon you can take your time with-
Which is the best?
It is too soon
To give the answer.
I have more testing
To do.
Sandra Cisneros
