My teacher is the strangest one cause she says math is really fun. She smiles when adding on the board just like each number is adored. In lots of ways, I think it’s sad her sense of fun is just so bad. Three plus three and eight plus eight are no fun —I’d sooner skate.Continue reading “Math’s No Fun”

Possibilities
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”
Regrets
Last night I just couldn’t get to sleep. I tossed and turned all night, cause Santa Claus is coming soon, which fills me with great fright. You see, I’ve done some things this year that now — I sure regret, and thinking of those things I’ve done is making me now fret. I think I’llContinue reading “Regrets”
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”
