Introduction

"100 Is A Lot" is a poem written to celebrate the 100th day of school.


100 Is a Lot


100 dogs, 100 cats,

100 heads for 100 hats.

100 women, 100 men,

100's more than 5 or 10.

100 buttons, 100 coats,

100 sails for 100 boats.

100 cookies, 100 cakes

100 kids with bellyaches!

100 shoes, 100 socks,

100 keys for 100 locks.

100 puddles mighty dirty,

100's even more than 30.

100 daughters, 100 sons,

100 franks on 100 buns.

100 trees, 100 plants,

100 picnics, 100 ants!

100 is a lot to count,

100 is a LARGE AMOUNT!

100 kisses, 100 hugs,

100 bats, 100 bugs.

100 bees, 100 birds,

This poem has 100 words!
