Spiders on the wall
Crazy people call
Life is weird.
Lion on the prowl,
Bug on the crawl,
Life is weird.

Couplet

I wish I were a professional dancer
Maybe I could ask Santa with his reindeer like Prancer.

There once was a dancer named Alice.
She lived in a very large palace.

One night she danced as hard as she could,
But her ankle cracked just as it should,
Because she was not a nice person that Alice.

-A.

Bugs

Bugs are sticky and gooey,
Ugly,
Brown,
Small

-Brien

Basketball requires skill if you don't have skill,
You will get killed
If you get killed,
Don't worry
Just practice and get back in a hurry

The Day I Got My Award!

My award was cool,
My award was clear.
My award is special,
My award is meaningful.
My award will stay forever.
My award means much to me.

Some water would be really nice,
Add some ice.

Spring

The Sky is blue.
I'm makin barbeque.
Sittin outside,
My dog by my side.

-T.B.

Rain

It falls to the ground,
All dark clouds around.
I can't go outside.
But I lied.
Cause I'm havin fun.
And here comes the sun.

-T.B.

Untitled

Crazy kids run around
Crazy kids jump up and down
Crazy kids can be a trouble
But in the end all kids are humble.

Lonely Stickman

Once there was a stickman
This stickman was American
When he's alone he likes to sing
When he sings people gather
But when he's done he rather
Just go back to being lonely.

-L.W.

Untitled

Really Really Hot
Scorching like a pot
That is steaming hot like a
Lobster clam boiling pot.

Books

Be a fine lad and
Pick up a book.
Please do not fear to take a look.

Compact Discs

A compact disc is
Not a risk to sacrifice your computer
In the trash with the disc.

Baby in the crate
Rocking on the light
Baby in my arms.

Come seek another day

War, pools, beaches, swimming, fun.

Moles are big and round
If you have one you'll see brown
Hair surrounding it.

Beautiful things are left behind
It's so ashamed, it makes me blind
Beneath the stars they shine
Beneath the sky I fell fine.

I Want Food

I am Hungary
I want Turkey
I want French Fries
With Greece

Lemon yellow Classic Cadillac

The detailing,
A masterpiece.
In the driver's seat,
Reclining back.
Tick Toc motion of pendulum keys

Rear view mirror reflected the past,
Oldies music heard the right way.
Scent of leather and Brylcreem,
I sway,
If only the moment could last

Closed my eyes.
Inhaled slow and deeply
Gripping the wheel,
I found my peace.

-M.G.

Untitled

As I rise up when I die
I see clouds part
Light as bright as gold
I rise up higher

I feel as light as a bird
My mind turns clear as a man peers
The man dressed in gold
The sound of trumpets blast

I see his face at last
It is he it is he
The man that I see
My Lord Jesus Christ is dear to me.

-B.T.

Untitled

Eating a cookie
I am under the table
Sam is eatin cookies

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I have a crush
But it's not on you

Untitled

I see him all the time
I see him every day
Every time is see him
My mind goes every which way

-A.

Untitled

Summer time is a time near fall
Summer time is a time for all
But if time just stopped
Don't worry you wont have to hurry

-L.W.

Untitled

Brook in back or house
Flow in like a long blue snake
Brook in back or house

-P.J.B.

Untitled

Music is the way the world goes
Round,
Sometimes it turns your frown
Upside down

-L. W.

Untitled

Running away from home
Makes me feel alone
Coming home,
I'm still alone
With no one to help me.

-Anonymous

Untitled

Running away with a bug on my face,
I ran so fast it felt like a race.
Since I am allergic to bees,
I had to run, but I fell on my knees.

Soon my face began to puff,
And I began to huff and puff.
Now I'm in the emergency room,
And my parents are here to loom.
I'm so happy I got a balloon.
It says "Get Well Soon!"
I'll be sure that I will,
And my mom can't wait to get the hospital bill.

-Anonymous

Untitled

In the room he sat
Waiting for her to come,
Hoping to see her waiting.

Out in the sun
All the kids run
I have an allergy
Keep away the bee.

Pigs on my sox
I'm eating Pop Rox
I have chicken pox
On my door there are locks
Hi, my name is Goldilocks.

Beautiful Day

It's a blaring hot today
My skin is burning
Like burnt clay.
Bees are flying all over me
Flying high
Like birds flying on the sea.
I wish it could be like this every day,
I'll be swimming and dancing with a manoray.
Oh, let it be like this forever!

-Anonymous

Help Me

It's blaring hot,
Like I've been put I into a boiling pot.
I wish somebody rescues me,
Before I get cooked
By the evil Minnie me.

-Anonymous

Cake

I love chocolate cake!
You don't like it,
You're a fake!

I love to eat
It everyday,
And if you ask me why
I'll say...

Cause' chocolate cake is the best
Kind of cake to make!

-M. B.
