Another poem for children age 5 to 12
So the Natives told Me!
"Very very hairy
& very very wary
is the Bing Ban Boon!"
In many many way
for weeks & months & days
did I hunt it by the moon.
I thought it large
while others thought it small
the Bing Ban Boon.
Finally I found some
there in my own garden
two Bing Ban Boons!
There lay my kitty
with a baby at her titty
those sweet Ban Boons.

1. Teacher must read the poem with drama and mystery as it ends with a surprise and resolution. Then ask questions like those I have posted earlier for other poems.
2. This poem aids children with speach and builds vocabulary.
3. Ask the kids to draw pictures beside the stanzas. Post results.
