The Dirtiest Kid in the Worldby Gerri Harvey

Oh, I’m dirty Sid, The World’s Dirtiest Kid

I never take baths or showers

I can’t see my shirt, it’s too covered with dirtAnd my ears have

enough to grow flowers!

Whenever my mother sends me to bathe

I gingerly get in the tub

I try not to get too much of me

wetAnd I never “Rub-

a-dub-dub”!

The showers are either too hot or too cold

So sometimes I stand there and rinse

I’ve always felt if I get wet I might melt

So I’m pretty hard to convince!

I don’t brush my teeth, I don’t wash my hair

I try to avoid touching soapMy clothes often reek ‘cuz I

wear them all weekAnd my sneakers stink

beyond hope!

I think that my sneakers wouldn’t be bad

If I wore socks on my feet now and then

I tried that once, kept them on for 6 months

But they smelled worse than they’d ever been.

I don’t wash my face, except once a year

And my nails, I don’t scrub or cut them

In my hair can be seen glitter from last Halloween

And my eyelashes stick when I shut them!

The thought of a towel and soap makes me

howlSo when people have

something to tell meThey don’t come up and

tell it – they stand back and yell it

I think they’re afraid they might smell me!

Now what I want to know, what I want to find out

Are the changes that need to be made

To change this whole scene and make myself clean

Now that I’m in 1st grade!

What are the benefits of soap and shampoo?

What are the benefits of brushing and

flossing?
