Here’s a touching – pun intended! – poem given to us by Georgie Herz, an ABA teacher from Special School District in St. Louis, MO, that we thought we’d share with all of you so you can start off your weekend with a smile.
Touch Red
Georgie Herz
Touch red
One card, one choice
Touch red
This is touching red
A prize, cheerios, candy, a car
This is touching red
I’ll guide your hand it’s not far
Touch red
Three times, I’m keeping score
Now with two
Touch red, I pray not blue
This is touching red
Add yellow, three cards, three times
Touch red you score
Pick a prize
Yes there’s more
Touch red
A week or two or three or four
We check again, yea you score
Touch red, there’s more
Cards are gone
See the bears
We start with one
Then it’s two
A prize for each one
You do
Touch red.
