Tigger
Katie Archer

Tigger has orange and black stripes all over his body,
Not a wild cat that is spotty.
Tigger is full of love and joy,
He is like a big toy.
Bouncing is his favourite thing to do,
But not more than Piglet, Kanga, Rabbit, Pooh, Eeyore,
Owl, Christipher Robin, and Roo.
Everyone is his friend,
They will be together to the end.

My Pet Snake
Kendall Holis

On the bus they stole my shoes
(The shiny ones that were brand new!)
They took my backpack, and my binder,
And set loose my four-foot sidewinder.
I was bringing him for Show-and-Tell.
(I'd had him for years, and I knew him well.)
My snake went wild, and ate all my friends.
At that time, the daeath-toll was ten.
Soon I was the only survivor.
It ate all thirty kids (Plus our poor old bus driver.)
I sat there and thought, "How will I get to school?
I'll be stuck here all day. Man, this is cool!"
I caught my pet, and told him "Way to go!
Now what do we do, cause I sure don't know."

The Dirty Boy
Christopher Wood

There once was a boy who was really dirty,
he never cleaned up to make himself perty.
He was so dirty his skin turned dark black,
there were even spiders running up and down his back.
The lice were laying eggs in his hair,
even roaches running in and out of his underwear.
He had enough toe jam to fill the Super Bowl,
getting dirty must have been his lifetime goal.
So everyday make sure you take a shower,
Or you might end up smelling like milk gone sour.

Alone
Caitlin Fleming

Down cold dark alleys
Up littered streets
Staring in bakery windows
Moving with the crowd
Twenty cents in my pocket
Struggling to keep my coat on
Burning on the outside
Freezing on the inside
Shutting out the wind in my ears
My heart is stone I'm all alone.

Pizza Crust
Oscar Lopez

Pizza crust
tastes like dust.
I like the pizza,
but I hate the crust.
I like the pepperoni,
but if I had to eat the crust
I'd rather eat macaroni.
I like the gooey cheese,
but no crust, please.

The Time I Fell Off My Bike
Joe Pineda

The most embarrassing time of my life
Was when I fell off my bike
I tripped over a rock
then I ripped my sock
I fell in the dirt
I tore my shirt.
the time I fell off my bike
was the most embarrassing time of my life.
