Love is wonderful and thrilling

Love is happy and warm

Love is kisses and hugs

Love is never mean or selfish.

ABC Poems

Always fun to play with,

Brown when it is wet,

Cream when it is dry,

Dig it up with shovels

What is it? 

SAND! 

Acrostic Fun

Queen Bee

Queens are bigger
Use drones for mating
Eggs are what she lays
Ends when she shows signs of weakening
New queen is born
