Dear Mr. Agard, and Ms. Nichols, I like the book you wrote called Caribbean Dozen. I say one of the poems while I am skipping. I’ve been saying that poem since I was four, but now I say the version in your book. I look at the book everyday so that I can learn the last verse. Mrs Bradley reads us poems when we have finished our work. Martin likes the one about the chocolate bars because it is only five words long. I like writing poems, though I’m not as good at it as Sheena. I am better if nobody bothers me. I could write you a poem about my friend’s hamster, or I could draw Mrs Bradley’s cat for you. I like the picture of the rabbit, and I like the poem too. I want a rabbit, but I am not allowed one.
