The Giants Shadow
A giant was awake
And he heard the window open
He saw a big shadow
And he didnt know who it was
He coulld not figure out what to do
It was only his shadow
and he laughed at himself
then he went to sleep

Re: THE GIANTS SHADOW
That's really nice Jimbo and the sweetest thing for you to write poetry for your nephew. I love your idea of the Giant laughing at himself! I also noticed you called it Giants to make the point that there were 2 of him, ((the real him and the shadow), clever stuff! I cant write rhymes at all but not so long ago I posted a poem by my 8 year old daughter. Maybe they should get together!

Well, this is why our helpful little friend the apostrophe was created, though its correct use remains a mystery to many people. It's really not hard once you have it explained by a nice person like me who is good at teaching things. Let me show you so that you know another time. Look closely:
The giant's shadow = a single giant casting a single shadow.
The giants' shadow = more than one giant casting a single shadow.
See? Now it isn't a mystery any more.
