  11. Since Hanna Moved Away The tires on my bike are flat… The sky is grouchy gray. At least it sure feels like that Since Hanna moved away. Chocolate ice cream tastes like prunes. December’s come to stay. They’ve taken back the Mays and Junes Since Hanna moved away Flowers smell like halibut. Velvet feels like hay. Every handsome dog’s a mutt Since Hanna moved away. Nothing’s fun to laugh about. Nothing’s fun to play. They call me, but I won’t come out Since Hanna moved away. Judith Viorst

  12. Try one of these possible refrains • On my way to school today • I think I’ll stay in bed • And that was that • If you ask me • Why does it have to be me? • I laughed and giggled all day
