Catastrophic Coco

In the book M is for Mischief, An A to Z of Naughty Children by Linda Ashman, the C poem is entitled, Catastrophic Coco. Coco was thrilled that her name was in a book, until she read the poem.

Catastrophic Coco by Linda Ashman:

Coco came to camp:
Cracked a compass, smacked a lamp,
Clogged a drain, cut a tarp,
Clobbered Curtis with a carp,
Crumbled cookies, crushed a cake,
Crashed a kayak in the lake.
Called the counselor a cow,
Coco's cab is coming now.

But I giggled the most when Coco scoffed, "This poem is so not true . . . I would never touch a carp!" Of all the terrible things that Catastrophic Coco does . . . my Coco wouldn't touch the fish.
