I was really mad today and here’s the reason why. The Tooth Fairly just didn’t show up and that sure made me cry. The biggest tooth I ever grew fell out right after dinner, and since that darn tooth was so big, I knew I had a winner. I’d thought of all the stuff I’dContinue reading “The Biggest Tooth”

Other Things #19 – Poemlet #13
“Irresponsible” Norman had to mow the lawn until he cut the cord. “You must be more responsible!” was what his father roared. Then Norman had to pull some weeds; ten minutes felt like hours. “You must be more responsible,” said Mom, “You’ve pulled the flowers!” Norman’s irresponsible, but this fact makes him smirk. His irresponsibilityContinue reading “Other Things #19 – Poemlet #13”
“Our Bad Puppy”
Benny’s our new puppy, and he’s been really bad. While watching him this morning, I went to help my dad. That puppy went just crazy, all throughout our home, cause I forgot to pen him, so what he did was roam. He went into the family room and pooed right on the floor and thatContinue reading ““Our Bad Puppy””
Other Things #18 – Poemlet #12
“The Easy Choice” I’d really like to be a clown and dress in silly clothes. I’d like to wear those great big shoes and wear a big, red nose. Yes, circus life sure looks like fun and for it I do hanker, or maybe I’ll be like my dad and end up as a banker.Continue reading “Other Things #18 – Poemlet #12”
The Camping Trip
My family had a camping trip, but things did not go well. It was a first for all of us as anyone could tell. No doubt it would have been quite fun — had there been no storm, and had the tent not sprung a leak, and if it had been warm. No doubt weContinue reading “The Camping Trip”
Alphabetical Seating
In Mrs. Rose’s classroom, each year it’s just the same. According to the alphabet each student sits by name. Matt Bower is the lucky guy who sits by Becky Cross. Stan Stewart whispers through the day to pretty Maggie Ross. Sarah Grayson gets to sit with her friend, Sally Glass, and Mrs. Rose just neverContinue reading “Alphabetical Seating”
New Neighbours
We got new neighbours yesterday, but none of them I’ve seen. My sister, Molly, said she has and she said that they’re green. I told my mom what Molly said; she laughed and said, “No way!” But Molly sure looked serious, so I went out to play. Out in the yard, I played around, butContinue reading “New Neighbours”
Blue Hair
My sister dyed her hair blue, when Mom went out to shop. Her timing was just perfect — no one could make her stop. Once dyed, she sat there staring at all her long, blue hair, and when I saw my sister, I too began to stare. The day will get exciting, I know —Continue reading “Blue Hair”
A Canadian Hallowe’en
I’m looking like Count Dracula; my cape is black and sleek. I have white powder on my face and fangs to make folks freak. I have an empty pillowcase and plan to start out soon, collecting goodies at each door, beneath the silver moon. I know this night’s much better so I’ll be on myContinue reading “A Canadian Hallowe’en”
Goldilocks
I really don’t like Goldilocks — she’s rotten to the core. She broke into the Three Bears’ house and broke laws by the score. She wolfed down someone else’s food — that’s theft, make no mistake! And vandalism was her crime when Baby’s chair did break. Sleeping in another’s bed was tasteless and just rude.Continue reading “Goldilocks”
