How a Guy Can Die

That guy lost his eye.
I suppose he lost his nose.
In South he lost his mouth.
Oh dear, he lost his ear.
I do declare he lost his hair.
In a trace, he lost his face.
In bed he lost his head.
Down the potty went his body.
He got pegs for his new legs.
In a bed sheet someone hid his feet.

Possum

~S and I found this kind of possum under a bush. It was dirty and it looked dead, but it bared its teeth. And its tail was a dry, bloody stub. It was shaved at the back, so we saw striped fur. We put it in a box. The next day we showed H and then U. She told us to cover it with a blanket. So we covered it with a sweater. H gave it a piece of felt and cotton. We checked on it every minute. Then H said 'twas gone! Then I said,"Maybe it's under the stairs." So H tried to look without going at the bottom of the stairs to peek down. It was ('twas) under there, lying down playing dead(I think). We named him Possam(antha) or just plain Sam(or Samantha) for short.~

World's Coolest Books With Hard Covers

  1. Get a 1 ft piece of white cardboard. Fold 3 quarters of it on one side, and the other side to make the spine of the book.
  2. Using 12 different markers, draw the picture of your cover. Then write the title.
  3. Get as much papers as you can. Punch three holes on one side of each paper. Punch three holes in the cardboard.
  4. Using yarn, loop it through the cardboard holes and paper holes. Tie the yarn in a bow for fanciness, or just a plain knot.
  5. Number the pages and write the chapters. If you know what your story's about, write the table of contents.
  6. Write your story and draw the pictures in neat squares!

My Animal

If anyone asked me to tell them what animal I liked, I would say, "My favorite animal is a cat!" If I had a pet, it would be a cat. And if I were any animal, it would be a cat. I love cats!

I like cats for a lot of reasons. First, they're soft. Next, they run fast. Cats don't poop everywhere! They warn owners if they want to go poop by scratching at the door. Rabbits do that, to. Cats don't have their owners give them a bath. They lick their paws, and smear it all over their body. Cats can jump high.

Cats are brave, like horses. Cats eat healthy and junk food. I'm going cat crazy!I love cats, because they are soft and cuddly.

The End!

The Missing Kitten Mystery

Adam and his sister and brother, Aminah and Asad, were looking for their new cat's kitten, Khalid, in the basket, when they saw he wasn't there! "Where is he?" asked Asad. "He could be somewhere, taking a nap," suggested Adam. "Maybe he's playing with your crochet yarn, Aminah." "No way! I perfectly know I looked carefully before I left the room," said Aminah. "Maybe he's hiding under one of our beds." She walked into her room. She came back out, saying,"He's not anywhere!" Adam scratched his head. "Ummi, do you know where Khalid is?" he asked. "No, Adam!" Ummi yelled back.
Khalid was a white kitten, so he was hard to see against the white walls, or the white washer and dryer. Suddenly, Aminah
yelled,"He's here!" Adam and Asad ran over. "Oh, it's just my white sock, Aminah,"Asad said. "Don't trick us." Aminah put her hands on her hips. "Well, you shouldn't leave all your stinky socks everywhere, mister!" she said. Suddenly a white figure streaked past. "Khalid!" all three screamed. They ran after, but, sadly, it was just...a...rat. A RAT!! EEEW! "Hey, that's Khalid!" Adam shrieked. But it was just a pillow. Aminah glanced under the pillow, and there was................Khalid.

bare bear


The Aunt Ant
My aunt Ant is an ant.
Ya know why?
B' cause I'm an ant, too!
If you pinch her chubby legs,
She'll turn into a tyrant.
She'll begin to pant.
You ain't wanna lie.
My shoes are hard to tie!
Do you like owls that 'Who?'
I can see your face is blue.
See how hard she begs.
She grabs onto the house pegs!

The Bare Bear
EEO!
Look at him!
He's bare!
He has no hair!
Did he eat a pear?
Look at him to glare.
I don't care.
Just glare!
Bare bears a rare.
Be aware.
It's not fair!
I want a mare.
Be fair! Share your hair! I don't care!!!

The Chicken Chicken
All these animals
Went to swim
But this chicken was dazed,
He was scared of the rim!

The Duck Duck
This nice duck
Was flying above the pond,
When she saw a baseball
And it was coming to her!
No one cared, but
"Goodness me!" she said and ducked!

grape jelly poem


Mystery Poem ~ Guess what it's talking about!

A green grape sat on the racing track,
It touched its grumbling belly-
A racing car zoomed down the track,
Beep, beep!
Comes round the curve,
Vroom!
Grape jelly!
