On The Map

On the Map

A tree is on the map,

And I know why.

It shows me where to find a forest

Under a bright blue sky.

A plane is on the map.

And I know why.

It shows me where to find an airpor t

Where plans take of f and fly.

A bui lding is on the map.

Can you see it too?

It shows me where to find a place

Where kids can go to school!

POETRY

Making Maps

I love to make maps!

I think it ’s great fun - - -

Making the boundaries

And then one by one

Putting in rai lroads.

And each river bend,

And the t iny towns

Where l i tt le roads end.

I draw in the mountains,

And of ten a lake,

And I’ve even had

Long bridges to make!

I l ike to do highways.

And when they are drawn

I dream that they take me

Where I ’ve never gone.
