First, we went to Hot Topic where we
bought shoes and clothes. It was 5:30
PM when we got home. We tried on our
beautiful shoes. I smiled so brightly at
her. She smiled back at me. Then, she and

On brown days
I am like a
bear who is done with hibernation in the woods.
On green days
I am as worried as
the grass about to be cut by a lawn mower on the
Duke Farm.
On blue days
I feel free like a
bass looking for food in the morning at the
Lebanon Reservoir.
On light grey days
I am frustrated like a
crocodile that can’t find prey in the water in
Australia.
On black days
I am as sick as a
water buffalo looking for water in Africa.

Kayaking
-Conor R. 4M
Kayaking is a great sport. You get to see a lot
of nature. You can fish and catch bass, lake
trout and medium-sized sunfish. You can also
see fantastic views like Derek Jeter’s camp!
The paddling really helps to strengthen your
muscles. It’ also not just a pleasurable way to
spend free time; it’s an amusing way to
2
spend free time!
Four-wheeling
-Lauren L. 4M
Four-wheeling is hard to do; it takes a lot of
practice. It’s a lot of fun when you get the
hang of it. It’s not fun if you get stuck. For
example, my brother drove the four-wheeler
into the swamp. Then the next day, my brother,
grandma and aunt used shovels to dig the fourwheeler out. Even though they are fun to drive,
they break easy. My uncle and I were driving
in the field and the four-wheeler just stopped
and that was the end of it. These are some
reasons why four-wheeling is hard yet fun.
Football
Harley B. 2M
-Bailey W. 5-D
In football you must tackle
And sometimes bones go crackle.
Sometimes people go ouch
If they lose they can turn into a real grouch.
In football to win you don’t have to be tough
Patric H. 4P
But you should really play rough.
If you are a running back on the field
Then the linemen are your shield.
It is really fun when you win the game
But when you loose it is really a shame.
In football you must wear cleats
But you better watch out because some schools are real cheats.
In football you must ram and bam
When you tackle them you must hold onto them like a clam.
You learned a lesson today
And that lesson is that you can play hard every day.

School ends, fun time comes
Swimming, hot days are back now
Bee back now: “buzz”, “ouch”.
Sweating, blistering
Cool water splashing on me
At the beach swimming

Trucks

Salty waves splashing
Misty warmth, lots of people
Gigantic waves, much laughter
Trucks go fast down hill
Heavy-duty trucks can tow
Shiny, brand new trucks
