STUPID ROCK

One day I decided to take a walk
Got tired and rested by a dock
I sat on a rock and it gave me a shock
So I looked at the rock as if it could talk
And said, Don’t give me a shock you stupid rock!
So I took the rock that gave me a shock
And put it next to the fishing dock

The next day I’m ending my walk
I find the rock that gave me a shock
And as if I was one to rudely mock
I sware that the rock began to gock
Starring as though I would stalk a rock  
So I picked up the rock that gave me a shock
I threw the rock that gave me a shock
Which hit a big rock
Flew under the dock
And I never saw the rock
That gave me a shock
again.

What a trip.  I am dying to know what the story is behind the rock.  I'd be scared of it, too.

Having raised 3 sons, I know there is more to the story. Little boys will make up all kinds of stories to explain why they just had to pick up that rock and throw it, and why it broke something before it fell in the water. Enjoyed your tale very much. Now do you want to tell what you broke first or do we have to wait till someone else tells on you.......LOL

LOL....yes there is a little story about that stupid rock.  Before ending up in the lake and under the dock.  It "somehow" managed to fall out of the sky and hit my cousin in the back of the head.  Which he is still bitter about.  big baby. =)

This poem is great!  Sometimes the simplest things make the best reading.  You were one talented third grader!
