A poem fit for Sept. about leaving the farm after a summer.

Farewell to the Farm
by Robert Louis Stevenson

The coach is at the door at last;
The eager children, mounting fast
And kissing hands, in chorus sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

To house and garden, field and lawn,
The meadow-gates we swang upon,
To pump and stable, tree and swing,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

And fare you well for evermore,
O ladder at the hayloft door,
O hayloft where the cobwebs cling,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

Crack goes the whip, and off we go;
The trees and houses smaller grow;
Last, round the woody turn we sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

September
Back To My Home Page
A road like brown ribbon

A sky that is blue

A forest of green

With that sky peeping through.

Asters, deep purple,

A grasshopper's call,

Today it is summer,

Tomorrow is fall.

I know a number that is really hot.
It's only for people in a hot, hot spot.
If you see a fire, If you see a crime,
The number is the same every single time.
This very special number is never for fun.
This very special number is 911.

Fire Rap

Author: Unknown

If your clothes catch on fire,

Don’t run or hop.

The thing you have to do

Is come to a stop.

Then drop to the ground,

The floor, the dirt.

Don’t worry ‘bout the mess-

Keep from getting hurt.

When you’re down

Put your hands right over your face,

Then roll like a log all over the place-

To the left, to the right,

Till the flame is out.

And whenever you can, give a big shout!

It might be mighty-mighty scary,

But keep in control,

You’ll start being better

When you stop, drop, and roll!

Action Poem
No author given-found online.

Come let us ride the firetruck,
The firetruck, the firetruck.
Oh! we can ride the firetruck
Whoo! ooo! ooo!
(Children place hands on next one's shoulders
making a long firetruck and the first one
is the driver)

And now we use the fire hose,
The fire hose, the fire hose.
And now we use the fire hose,
Use it so.
(Children pretend to fasten the hose
to hydrant and spray water on fire)

Come let us climb the ladders,
The ladders, the ladders,
Come let us climb the ladders,
Up we go!
(Children pretend to climb ladders)

Oh! hear our axes chopping,
Chopping, chopping,
Oh! hear our axes chopping,
Heave! Hi! Ho!
(Children pretend to chop with axes)

And now the fire is over,
Is over, is over.
And now the fire is over.
Home we go.
(Children pretend they are putting fire
equipment on trucks.)

Now, home we ride the firetruck,
The firetruck, the firetruck,
Now, home we ride the firetruck,
Talley-ho!!
(Children place hands on next one's shoulders
making a long firetruck and first one
is the driver.)

Fire Safety:

Stop, Drop, Roll
I will meet my mom by the big oak tree,
I won’t cry cause they will be looking for me.
Bruno will be fine he is a real smart dog,
The smoke will be real thick, kind of like a fog.
If my clothes catch fire don’t try to go get wet,
Just Stop, Drop and Roll, Don’t Forget!
