Give A Smile

This contest is for a young man named Jacob Hack. On December 26, 2008 Jacob was struck by a stray shot from his neighbor's pellet rifle. The pellet entered in the side of one eye, behind the bridge of his nose and into the other eye socket. Despite all that doctors have done, they have been unable to save his sight. All cards and letters sent to him are being read to him by his parents. I'm looking for fun and silly poems that are appropriate for a nine year old boy. Please, give me your best.

RULES
1. Do not submit a poem you're not willing to share, all entries will be forwarded on to Jacob
2. Keep it clean, no sex, no cursing...remember it's for a child
3. Add a little note in the author's box that can be shared from you to Jacob when your poem is sent on.
4. No sticky caps
5. No bashing of another's poem
6. HAVE FUN...if you're not having fun, how can he?
