Valentine from my 9 year old

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Some poems rhyme
This one does not

Here's a poem my older sister claims I wrote in 1st grade to satisfy a history requirement in school:

Lincoln was a famous man
President of this great land
Someone shot him in the head
How I wish he wasn't dead
Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln

Did your poem land you in the Principal's office or the Gifted program?

A few of my academic "achievements" landed me in one and a few landed me in the other.

Strange, though, the destination didn't always seem to follow from the achievement (at least not to me, anyway). I guess they just weren't sure what to do with me... :(

And from what Mrs. Bubba says, the children "get that stuff from their Dad" i.e. the above Valentine by the 9 year old.
