My turtle died just yesterday, which really made me cry. I could not understand why God would make my turtle die. My mom told me poor Sammy would be happier in Heaven, and so we held a funeral around the hour of seven. Three kids arrived with flowers and that sure did make me glad.Continue reading “Poor Sammy”

My Meal
I wish that I could shop for food — that really would be grand, because I’d simply pass right by the food that I can’t stand. Carrots, broccoli, turnips, beets would not come through our door, and neither would those Brussel sprouts I really do abhor! White fish, blue fish, yucky cod, again I’d neverContinue reading “My Meal”
Worries
My mom says I’m a worry wart. I worry through the days. I worry bout the strangest things — my mom says it’s a phase. I worry that the dog next door won’t like me anymore. I worry that my hockey team won’t ever make a score. I worry that the frosted flakes next morningContinue reading “Worries”
My New Year’s Resolutions
My New Year’s Resolutions, are right here on this list, and judging by the number, there’s nothing that I’ve missed. I’ve said I’ll walk the dog each day and pick up all his poo.

Other Things #27 – The Christmas Tree That Changed My life

The Christmas Pig
A mean old woman bought a pig cause pork she liked to eat. She planned to fatten up the hog and named the poor pig “Pete”. Now Pete was not a stupid beast — he knew what she had planned, and starring on a menu was just more than he could stand! Pete’s pen wasContinue reading “The Christmas Pig”
Regrets
Last night I just couldn’t get to sleep. I tossed and turned all night, cause Santa Claus is coming soon, which fills me with great fright. You see, I’ve done some things this year that now — I sure regret, and thinking of those things I’ve done is making me now fret. I think I’llContinue reading “Regrets”
The Riot at the North Pole
The elves were working overtime and all were getting tense, and that’s the reason all of them just seemed to lose all sense. It’s hard to say what lit the spark that made the elves explode, but all lost tempers, all at once, and angry words just flowed. Tim called Bob a little jerk, andContinue reading “The Riot at the North Pole”
The Christmas Concert
The Christmas concert sure was fun though Miss Blake’s still upset. Because so many things went wrong, she’s not recovered yet. The truth is Clarence is a pain so got what he deserved, and since that evening, Clarence has been thoroughly unnerved. Clarence Henry was the star of Miss Blake’s Christmas play. She said hisContinue reading “The Christmas Concert”
Our Kitten Climbed the Christmas Tree
Our kitten climbed the Christmas tree, and then he just went mad, batting lights and ornaments. That kitten sure was bad! He chewed some tinsel, ruining it, but we couldn’t reach the brat, and so his rampage just went on while Mom kept screaming, “Scat!” Soon he reached the angel’s branch, the topper on ourContinue reading “Our Kitten Climbed the Christmas Tree”
