  9. Exaggeration Do you know someone who ALWAYS has to “one-up” you? Do any of your friends constantly stretch the truth to look better than they actually are? Well, in this poem the person who can exaggerate the best wins! • Five or more lines • About a person, place, or thing • Exaggeration is the key!

  10. Exaggeration Example “My Mom Is Better Than Your Mom”- Bruce Lansky My mom is better than your mom.The oatmeal she makes is so good for me I could bench press 100 pounds when I was five.She says "Have a bright day," as I walk out the door, ready to get straight A’s in school.She makes spinach and Brussels sprouts so delicious I always ask for seconds.People are always telling her, "You’re so beautiful, you should be a model." But she always responds, "It’s not your outer beauty but your inner beauty that counts most."She never nags me to do my homework. Instead, she asks "How are you doing with your homework? Need some help?" I never do. I want her to be proud of me.And when she puts me to bed at night, she tucks me, gives me a kiss,and I’m asleep—just like that.My mom is nicer than your mom.
