This T-ball game is boring; I’m sitting in left field, and if the ball comes near me, my glove will be my shield. I’m frightened of the baseball cause Bobby once was hit, and ever since that T-ball game, in left field I just sit. My dad says, “Don’t be frightened”, but Bobby sure didContinue reading “Left Field”

Mad
At times, because I get quite bored, I like to bug my brother, Gord. I know that once I get him mad, the boredom’s gone which makes me glad. When Gord is mad, he’ll often chase me round the yard — it’s quite a race. I’ll scream insults and so will he which adds excitementContinue reading “Mad”
Summer Blues
The summer’s here and school’s through, but now I don’t know what to do. I’ve played with friends and watched TV, but now those things don’t interest me. I’ve slept and read and cruised the Net, until I’m bored as I can get. I’ve swum and biked and jumped and run, but now those pastimesContinue reading “Summer Blues”
My Secret
My folks will sure be angry when I tell them the truth. In fact, they’ll be so angry, I know they’ll hit the roof. They’ll disconnect my TV because I broke their trust. I wish I could avoid this, but tell them — now I must! Last night, just after supper, my dad said, “GuessContinue reading “My Secret”

“Turtle in My Tub” There’s a turtle in my tub – don’t know who put it there, but that turtle in my tub, sure gave me quite a scare. Perhaps I should be happy. Perhaps I’ve had a break, cause whoever put that turtle there might also own a snake!
My Monkey
I wish I owned a monkey; I know that we’d have fun. He’d be just like a brother; my folks could call him “Son”. We’d watch TV together; my homework we’d both do. We’d play my favourite board games — Monopoly and Clue. I’d let him wear my t-shirts; we’d skateboard everyday. I’m sure whateverContinue reading “My Monkey”
Lessons From the Beanstalk
I found some magic beans once and planted them with glee. I knew a beanstalk would appear and up it, I’d soon be. I planned to rob the giant who lives upon a cloud. I’d steal his magic harp and goose and make my parents proud. And so the giant stalk grew which I thenContinue reading “Lessons From the Beanstalk”

The Tea Party
Allan Jacobs, late last night, went for a little walk, and so, today, took me aside — he said we had to talk. While strolling by our teacher’s house, he thought he’d spy for fun. But Allan said that what he saw soon made him shake and run. Through the kitchen window, Allan said, heContinue reading “The Tea Party”
The Castle
The kid next door is sitting and playing in the sand. He’s actually made a castle that’s nothing short of grand. There are so many turrets, I cannot count them all. I see a little cannon with a marble cannonball. Just yesterday this same kid I called my closest friend, but then we had aContinue reading “The Castle”
