The braille bug spots,
look like bumpy braille dots.
And maybe when you write,
it will remind you of the braille bug web site.
I learned braille when I was three.
Can you see the braille cell on the braille bug,
when he flys around the tree?
I like the braille bug a lot,
and his black spots look like dots.
I love to read a braille book every day
before I go out to play.
Reading is so much fun,
because you can read in the rain or sun.
This is all for now, I hope to make some new pals.

Oh, little fingers of blind
little kids, running over the
puffed little dots called
BRAILLE.
Oh, when these wee fingers go over
the braille, these young little
kids never will fail.

See with your fingertips, learn with your heart,
Braille club on Friday is a good way to start.
Begin with the alphabet, end with a book,
Learn all of this with the lessons you took.
Read with your fingertips
Feel a small dot
Come on, try it
Give it a shot!

Weird, puffy
Tapping, typing, writing
Feels bumpy on paper

Lumps and Bumps
Lumps and bumps
my fingers go over
the tiny bumps.
Gliding across the page
with ease,
the bumps are showing
what my eyes can't see.
They make me laugh!
They make me giggle
when I feel them
my finger tips tingle.

People like to try and read my braille, they think it is pretty cool.
But for all they know it could say go jump in a giant swimming pool.
I love to watch them try and see how I do it.
Sometimes they work so hard they look like they've just been bit
It is so funny to watch their face.
They look so confused you'd have thought they'd just come out of a rabbit
race.
Impressing others with my skills in braille,
Is something I'm good at, I never fail.
