Mr. Cooper, by the Redding Elementary School children who participated in Pond for kids at their school

 

Hard at work,

he always has a smirk.

 

He has mud on his jeans

he helps the water garden stay clean.

 

He is never mean,

his shirt is still never clean.

 

Helps us with the water garden,

watches cement ‘til it hardens.

 

He is a great man,

he even has better plans,

 

than the other guys.

He is never shy.

 

Picks up a shovel,

Right on the double.

 

He drives a truck,

That has a lot of luck.

 

He works good with clay.

We wish he could stay.

 

Mr. Cooper
