2007 Caldecott Medal for Silly Poems


Mark has won the above mentioned award (Please note that HE declared himself the winner) for the lovely poem he wrote below:

Kim stopped by on Monday
And wrote me a note
It said I was wonderful
That’s nice, but who am I to gloat?

Her note also said more things
Like she missed me on her last two trips
But what she didn’t know
Is that I was home doing flips

Now why I was home flipping
Is most curious indeed
Especially when you consider
It was on the back of a steed

What Kim hasn’t heard
Is that I think she’s so bright
‘Cuz unfortunately for her
On those last two trips I’ve been out of sight

Now this poem must end
And I must get back to work
Or Kim might just think
“Gosh, that Mark’s a real jerk!”


P.S. For those that don't know, Mark is a very talented web developer who is responsible for these two works of art:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXFZLXGY9d6pkF_8KQD5sR4y8DJz2WLZY3Dsak-qKamF8Z0mJKNMzbt7lncfu-Zz20-NMPuWcqc257mGNaVy7q35AumWu67I1ap-WJgqAOOXmyvvWIMi9o4wEvAR0EHUHnJX6LVg/s1600-h/queenb.jpg

Kim never stops at my desk and leaves me a note... 8-(

No wonder Mark is writing silly poems...I think he's giddy over Kim leaving him a note...I don't get any notes, either! :o(~

oh, man, I am so jealous that he won that prestigious award. I am so in the competition for next year!

BTW, if you think Mark's silly poems are eloquent, you should hear him on Talk Like a Pirate Day!

I guess I need to start leaving notes everywhere. I have a friend who leaves notes everywhere, even in the shower. LOL
