Cat in the hat

By Ali B. - (2nd grade 2015)

Cat in the hat - why do you wear a hat?

You should have a mat, not a hat.

Cat in the hat; you are so fat;

I am surprised you fit in a hat.

You're so fat I could roll you in a ball

and hit you with a bat..

to the moon and stars and all.

My Crazy Life

By: Maddex L. (4th Grade 2015)

When I was young I never had fun
my life was just plain, my dog was insane
every night when my Labrador had a fright
she went under my sisters bed all cozy and tight
although that is weird my sister had a beard
my moms head is a cone she looks like a gnome
my brother likes to smother everything that he has
but me I'm happy with everything I have.

Cat Vs. Dog
By: Cierra B. (5th Grade 2015)

The dog and the cat,
at the house, where they're at,

the dog says hi, the cat says bye

the dog starts chasing the cat with a bat,

then the dog gives up,

the owners come in with a pup

the cat says hi, the dog says bye

Random Craziness

By: Sarah, Josie, and Becca (4th grade 2014)

The elephant went crazy after it pooped.
People eat worms while peeing.
You drive while eating hot tamales.
Hair is mean to me and the monkey.
Monkeys run smelly parties.
Josh is a dingus and awesome poodles.
Butterflies pee on Menards.
Emergencies eat sandwiches while bringing pizza.

Where I'm From

By: Annabel P. (5th grade 2013)

I'm from hot summer days

to cold winter nights.

I'm from cooking on the grill in the middle of the winter

to big boat rides in the summer.

I'm from a small town summer night

to bare back horse rides.

I'm from a small town

to the Eau Claire country side.

I'm from going fishing with gramps

to going coon hunting with dad.

I'm from four wheeler rides in the summer

to snowmobile in the winter.

I'm from fishing in a boat

to fishing on the frozen lake.

I'm from two dogs at my mom's

to three dogs at my dad's.

From Leroy, Morgan, and Alice

to Cooper and Hewy.

I'm from sharing a room with my sister

to a divorced family of two.

I'm from a roof over my head

to shoes under my feet.

I'm from Sunday football

to being with my friends.

I'm from a house that smells like French Fries

to a garden in the back yard.

I'm from swimming in the shallowest part of the lake

to diving in the deepest part of the lake.

I'm from America!!

HUNTING

By: Sarah and Josie (4th grade 2014)

If you have a gun you can have fun,

but if you have girl you can buy her pearls.

If you buy her pearls she might hurl.

If you buy her a gun

you and her can have some fun.

If she has camo she might have ammo.

If she grunts this is how you hunt.

Law and Cat Rat

By: My 4th grade friends, 4 of them in fact. (E, M, A, and K) (2013)

I saw a law and hamburger running around the office.

Than went the paw and fell after the wow.

Emergencies were present and within a cheek.

Than pooped the cow out of the cheeks.

Than I saw a cat that shoveled cars that buried a bat.

And than I saw a rat that pooped on a cat.

And after the draft and than came a rat.

Another one in fact.

Than an apple after that

Than an orange man sat on a cat

Than the cat said: MEEOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!

After the pow wow said buck mow and sold the cow!!!

Thank you.

The Broken Glass
By: Kinsey H. (5th grade 2019)

Oh, on a sunny morning, the sun so bright.
Their sat a glass, with only one task.
To be drank out of, to not be broken until the days last glance.

And one day the glass was drank out of.

Oh, the glass was so happy.

But when he was set down, what he didn’t notice,

is that he wasn’t near the table.

Oh not at all.

He was dropped! He was in fright.

When he hit the ground…

He was shattered.

Into many sized and sharp pieces.

He was broken.

And that was his last glance

Too Confident

By: Roisin (5th Grade 2019)

Why is it that an actress like me never gets big parts

I’ll always be a stupid tree, but why not the Queen of Hearts?

If I’m honest, my chances were supposed to be pretty great,

That incredible audition was supposed to seal my fate.

Occasionally I might stumble, or fumble a prop or two (or three)

But still, I’m the greatest, there’s clearly nobody better than me.

So why is it that my director seems so fraudulent,

I don’t believe a word he says,

I’m NOT too confident!
