This is one of Eric’s great poems!

I BUILT A FORT
.
I built a fort.
It needs a door.
I built a boat.
It needs an oar.
I built a shoe.
It needs a heel.
I built a car.
It needs a wheel.
.
I baked a cake.
It needs a plate.
I built a fence.
It needs a gate.
I wrote a poem.
It needs an end.
I built a fort.
It needs a friend.
