All by Myself

By Gail Rosenberg

I wanted to brush my teeth by myself,

But the toothpaste wouldn’t come out.

I wanted to pour the juice by myself,

But it came gushing

Out of the spout.

I wanted to button my sweater,

But the sides went

every w

h

i

c

h way.

So I’ll try again tomorrow,

’Cause tomorrow’s a brand-new day!
