BlackberriesBy: Aaron

Just a white bud,

you could call it a stud,

then for lunch, dinner, or snack,

out of a big blackberry pack,

boy I want a berry,

well, won’t that be merry!

I could have a 1st place winner,

for a great, big dinner!

too bad blackberries only grow,

very slow,

unless you live in Nebraska,

but I live in Alaska.

I guess no blackberries for me,

I’ll go up and brush my teeth,

go up and brush, brush, brush,

after I pick some off Terry’s bush!

LionBy: Aaron

My PencilBy: Gabby

My pencil is like a wooden staff, not a staff to stab a calf, maybe a staff to stab a calf, but I don’t think so.

Well, my pencil is running out of lead, so now I think I’ll go

To bed.

Pencils Dancing on the PaperBy: Gibby

Pencils , pencils,Dancing on the paper,

They go up and down and all around,They dance around the paper floor,

Never leaving the open door, For they’re too busy dancing on that paper floor

going from line to line leaving marks,Still not going near that door,

Because they’re dancing, dancing all around,Never stopping to hear their sound.

QuartersBy: Gibby

Quarters , quarters, in my pocket waiting to be spent on a locket,

jingle, jingling, all around,

waiting, waiting, to be found,For I have forgotten about the quarters I guess the quarters won’t be found.

My hotdog

Same ColorBy Graham

I have a map that is the same color

And the color is gray and that is my favorite color.

DiceBy Lia

You roll it,you might sit on it.

Dots of numbers on each side,You can bring them on a ride.

Play in a game,another dice came.

Double dice,Double mice.

Roll them really far,You put them on a bar.Roll them really close,

You have the most, dice.

PencilBy: Lia

Pencils are sharp,

They get eaten by a carp.

They are light,

they do not leave your sight.

They have erasers,

they shoot lasers.

They are all over the place,

They get put into a case.
