I’d really like to be a dog cause their lives are the best. Instead of doing homework, well, I could sit and rest. Anytime I wanted love, I’d wag my tail with might, and snuggle with my master cause he would hold me tight. In the yard, I’d run around instead of raking grass, andContinue reading “A Dog’s Life”

Tommy the Bully
Tommy was a bully who bullied just for fun, and any game he played with us, he’d bully til he “won”. He’d bully til we had to say his foul ball had been fair, and races that he’d lose, we’d say he’d won by just a hair. He knew just how to make us cryContinue reading “Tommy the Bully”
Other Things # 25 – The Sillies
January 18, 2021 was a sad day because I had to put down Cody Code, one of the sweetest dogs ever born. Had he lived another week, he would have been 15 years and 7 months. We were lucky to have him for as long as we did, and I still fill with tears whenContinue reading “Other Things # 25 – The Sillies”
The Martians
My brother likes to spy on me cause Dean’s a little brat, so one day, I decided I’d fix that little rat! My friend, Tommy, helped me plan the way that I’d get even. Dean would overhear us talk, so he would be believin’. Tom and I went to my room cause we knew DeanContinue reading “The Martians”
Parent-teacher Interviews
At parent-teacher interviews, my mother heard a lot, and each and everything she heard used that darn word “not”. I do not pay attention, so I don’t know what to do. I do not ask some questions, so I really have no clue. I do not keep my binder neat, so everything’s a mess. IContinue reading “Parent-teacher Interviews”
Roller Skates
Tommy got some roller skates and slapped them on his feet. He rolled outside and looked around — these roller skates were neat! He rolled up to the front yard gate and opened it with glee. Skating down the street, he knew, would make him feel quite free. To the corner he did skate withContinue reading “Roller Skates”
Growing
I’ve grown three inches, maybe four, and now I’m really sad. The reason is my favourite shirt now looks too short and bad. Mom says tomorrow we will shop and so I’ll have new clothes. She says I’ll be a whole new boy from my head to my toes. And so tonight, I lie inContinue reading “Growing”
The Spy
One Tuesday, as I lay in bed, about to go to sleep, I heard a voice that called my name, a voice quite soft and deep. “Hey, Pete,” it said, “are you awake? I have to go outside.” I was so startled by the voice, my impulse was to hide. But there before me wasContinue reading “The Spy”
The Valentine
I knew Jane stole a valentine to me from Douglas Ryan, and when I asked her for it back, that’s when she started lyin’. She said, “I never touched that thing. Why would you think I had?” I knew that she was lying, so I started getting mad! “I know you did. You needn’t lie.”Continue reading “The Valentine”
Drying Dishes
Dan asks to dry the dishes, at least six times a year, and so his mother lets him, despite apparent fear. With care he stands there drying; the dear boy will not stop, and then it finally happens — some dishes he will drop. “I’m sorry,” he will stammer. “How it happened, I can’t guess.Continue reading “Drying Dishes”
