First Grader’s Poem Published in Spider Magazine

Eliesha Parrino’s poem will be published in the May/June issue of Spider magazine. Students were asked to submit a poem about "bragging." Her poem can be found below or on their website. 
 
I am fast, you are slow. You don’t know how to go.
I am faster than a cheetah. You are slower than a snail.
I can run 20 seconds. You can run in 50 seconds.
You can barely see my legs when I run. 
I can finish a race before you can blink your eyes. 
Ha, ha, I am better.
