Some things are just impossible and make me want to cry because I cannot do those things no matter how I try. For example, yesterday, my arms I flapped and flapped but could not lift up from the ground like birds — so I felt trapped! Then I thought I’d dig a den and liveContinue reading “Possibilities”

The Day After Groundhog’s Day
It’s February third today, and in my den I plan to stay. I’m scared to venture out my door! My poor, old nerves can stand no more! On the second, yesterday, I thought I’d go outside and play, so from my den I happily walked — the scene before me left me shocked! Fifty cameras,Continue reading “The Day After Groundhog’s Day”
Class Discussions
Teacher made us read a book that I thought was a bore, so reading every single page was nothing but a chore. The characters were really dumb. In fact, there were three bears, and a girl named Goldilocks who sat in all their chairs. She ate some of their porridge and slept in Baby’s bed,Continue reading “Class Discussions”
Poor Sammy
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”
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”
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”
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”
The Letter To Santa
My sister wrote to Santa Claus because of things I’ve done. She thinks I’ll make his “naughty list”. I think those things were fun. I squirted her with water and I scared her really bad. She said I wasn’t funny and just got really mad! And so she wrote her letter, and mailed it thatContinue reading “The Letter To Santa”
