Fridge Flash: A Duk Swam

March 29, 2017

Today’s Fridge Flash comes from six-year-old, Esben Møller Semmel. This cautionary tale is full of phonetic fun and is poetic in structure. Be careful of duks!

 

by Esben Møller Semmel

a duk swam in the water

the duk landed in the water

the duk splashed water on me

the duk saw me

the duk floo too me

the duk was mad at me.

 

 

Esben Møller Semmel is a six-year-old kindergartner. He likes to draw and write stories and play baseball.
