Donny sure loved donuts. In fact, that’s all he’d eat. He would not eat his veggies. He would not eat his meat! He would not eat an apple. He would not eat a pear. He would not eat a pickle, not even on a dare. No, all he’d eat was donuts, chocolate stuffed with cream,Continue reading “Donny’s Donuts”

The Tooth Fairy
The Tooth Fairy impresses me with all that she can do. How she can keep track of our teeth — I haven’t got a clue. But more than this, I wonder how she sneaks up to my bed and, in a twinkling, takes my tooth from right beneath my head. The biggest mystery of themContinue reading “The Tooth Fairy”
I’d Like To Be a Butterfly
I’d like to be a butterfly, and fly with lovely grace. I’d float and flutter through the day and fly to every place. I’d visit gardens everywhere and flowers, I would greet. No doubt we’d bond together in friendship, oh so sweet! I’d like to be a butterfly cause everybody knows, people sure love butterfliesContinue reading “I’d Like To Be a Butterfly”
The Blanket Tent
I made a tent beside the couch with my big brother, Nate, and everything about our tent was absolutely great. We used some blankets from our rooms and chairs to hold them up, and crawled inside when it was done with Sonny who’s our pup. We asked our mom if we could sleep together inContinue reading “The Blanket Tent”
A Dog’s Life
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”
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”
