Arm Pits?

by Xavia McCloud

There are a lot of things I know to be true,
I know that I use my feet to run, kick a ball, skip, hop and as a place to put my shoes.

I know that I use my toes to stand on when I need to reach really, really high.
I also use my toes for little piggies, that go we we we---
just like this you see.

I use my hands to open pickle jars,
catch a ball, and swing from monkey bars.
I clap my hands to the beat,
and hold my Mommy’s hand when I cross the street.
I can also walk on my hands when I’m upside down.

I know that I use my fingers to scratch when something itches.
They also point to the stars, wave goodbye, button buttons, and turn off switches.

I use my mouth to talk, blow bubbles and to sing; but,
eating is my favorite thing!

I know I use my eyes to see, my ears to hear, and my nose to smell,
but Mommy there’s just one thing, what we need it for, I can’t tell.
I tried and tried but I just can’t think of it,
why do I have arm pits?

HA HA HA HA HA, that tickles. Oh I see,
I have arm pits so you can tickle me!
