Oh feet,
without you
there would
only be stumpcovers.
Without you
we would all
be in wheelchairs.
Oh feet why
won’t you smell better?
Oh why are you
so big I trip
on all my sister’s toys?
Without you
I couldn’t stand
up to turn on
the TV. Without
you, I couldn’t
kick my sister
in the pants
when she
deserves it.

Writers in the Schools (WITS) is the #1 literary arts organization in Texas, increasing literacy and nourishing creativity across the nation. With 80 writers and educators on staff, WITS has a reach throughout Houston in classrooms, community centers, museums, parks, and hospitals. This blog provides a snapshot of the organization--who we are, where we are, and what we are all about.
The glory of WITS is best expressed by the students--in their own words -- so this blog features essays, stories, and poems that were created by K-12 students in our program. All material (c) Writers in the Schools 2007-2013. If you wish to republish this work, please credit both the organization and the author and link back to this site. This material may not be used in commercial ventures of any kind.
Supporting WITS will help bring the pleasure and power of reading and writing to more Houston children -- 23,000 students this year -- helping to improve writing skills, build confidence, raise test scores, and enhance creativity.
Laughing. I’d not thought of feet being unsavory but I will from this moment on… Good work!
I love this! The last image of kicking his sister in the pants is priceless!
