Joya, hand me the blue crayon.
You won't believe what I did yesterday -

I went to my uncle's farm,
he has horses and everything.
I petted them; climbed the white fence
so I could reach their noses.

He has one horse named Sweet;
I called him Stinky,
his breath was yucky.

I don't know why they don't brush his teeth.

After that, my uncle let me drive his tractor.
I'm not kidding, he did!
He sat behind me,
showed me how to turn it on
and let me steer.

Oh Joya, it was so cool!
We pulled the poop spreader
through a field.

I know, it smelled,
it was so fun I didn't even care.
