Pickles
Almost every afternoon, 
I eat pickels on a brick.
They're so sweet and green
They even make me keen.
If mom opens a jar
I can smell them from afar.
My teeth start to chatter and 
My fingers start to tatter.
by Javontae
I hate pickles plain.
Almost everyday,
I eat pickles with a spoon tune.
Everyday right at six,
I eat pickles stacked on bricks and chicks.
Stacked on spoon tunes!
Bricks chicks!
Stacked on hair chair!
Stacked on feet treat!
But I still hate pickles plain!!!!
By Clarissa
Eating
Almost every afternoon, 
I eat ice-cream with a spoon.
Every evening right at six,
I eat pizza up on bricks.
But every night when the moon is right,
I eat a mouse in a house!
By Kevin
Almost every afternoon, 
I eat chicken with a spoon.
Every evening at eight,
I eat chicken by a gate.
And when I put hotsauce on it
It's so good I'd like to vomit.
Eat chicken with spoon or fork
It's still good
But you really should eat chicken
With bar-b-que sauce on it.
Or you could eat chicken plain
Whenever we can eat together
Just me and you.
By Markeira
An Abnormal Day
When I awoke one morning,
A puppy was on my head.
I asked, "What are you doing there?"
It looked at me and said, 
"What am I doing here?"
I gave that puppy a look
And wondered what to do.
Then I took that puppy off my head
And plopped it right on my bed!
It snuggled cute and small,
Right into a little ball
On the pillow where she lay.
She gave me a look
Like she wanted to stay.
By Alexandra
Ice-Cream
Almost every afternoon
I eat ice cream with a spoon.
Every evening at seven,
I eat my ice-cream in heaven.

It is so juicy and sweet,
I love to eat, eat, eat!

It is because
Ice-cream is chilling,
Between my filling.

Almost every afternoon 
I eat spaghetti with a spoon.
Every evening at six,
I eat spaghetti stacked on bricks.
So much for that!
It all fell on me!
Do not get next to me!
I am messy!
My mom is going to get at me.
I think it is slippery
And I am gonna slip.
By Gokce
One day when I awoke
I heard something starting to choke.
When I looked up and saw
A squirrel starting to hurl.
Then I said, "Ahhh, your paws hurt me
So get off me or I'll hit you in your face!"
He jumped out the window
And I said , "That's the end
Of the video animals gone wild!"
By William
When I awoke one  morning
A stork was on my head
I asked, "What are you doing there?"
It looked at me and said,
"I came from a tree and now I'm free.
So I flew to your house and crept like a mouse
Straight to your room
Where I fell on your broom.
And I got so scared that I flew into your hair.
And now I could bear to get off your hair.
And here I am right here!"
By Samuel
Stork
When I awoke one morning,
A stork was on my head.
I asked, "What are you doing there?"
It looked at me with confusion
And said it didn't know.
So I had to shoo it away,
But it dragged me to its nest.
And now I'm yelling out,
"Get me back west!"
By Max
Potato Chips
Almost every afternoon
I have potato chips with my hips.
Almost every night at six
I have potato chips with sticks!
By Andy
I woke one morning with an alien on my head.
It said to me, "Ribbit scribet!"
I didn't know what it meant.
I woke up and what did I see?
An alien looking at me!
By Daniel
The Moose On Me
When I awoke one morning
A moose was on me!
It looked at me with confusion.
I said, "Get off me!"
"Why don't you?"
I was talking in my sleep.
I was on a moose in a safari.
I went back to sleep with a scare!

The Wierd Things I Eat
Almost every morning I eat clouds at eleven.
I eat clouds high at heaven.
Late at night when the moon is bright
I eat the moon instead of clouds.

Almost every afternoon
I eat worms with a spoon.
Every evening at six
I eat worms stacked on bricks
I throw up when I eat worms!
BUUAAAKKKK!
By Angela
When I awoke one morning
A bird was on my head.
I said, "What are you doing here?"
He said, "I don't know!"
I called my mom.
She came in the hall
And took him to the mall.
By Wesley
The Rabbit On My Head
When I woke up on morning,
A rabbit was on my head.
I asked, "What are you doing there?"
It looked at me and sang loudly,
"Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye said the rabbit."
And the rabbit ran away.
The next day the same thing happened!
I HATE IT!
By Susie
Ice-Cream! Ice-Cream
In the morning, I eat ice-cream with a spoon.
In the evening, I eat ice-cream with pickles too!
At night, I eat ice cream with bricks!
By Ninfa
When I awoke one morning, 
A giraffe was on my head.
I asked, "What are you doing there?"
He looked at me and said, 
"I came from the zoo with my friend, Kangaroo.
Her name is Loo.
We came here because we were tired of Moo.
He lives in the zoo, too.
He talks way too much!
So we came here to someone who doesn't talk
all day.
So where do you keep the leaves in this house?"
"Sorry, I have no leaves, but I do have chicken."
"What's chicken?"
"Never mind chicken!
Let's sing!"
"Fine, we'll sing, 
But you better have some good songs!"
By Geralyn
Pancakes
Every morning I eat pancakes on a stool.
Then my little sister starts to drool.
Every afternoon I eat pancakes on a spoon.
Then it was June when I stoppped!
Then I dropped!
Then I got up and said,
              "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"
And walked away.
The End
By Tamashe
Almost every afternoon
I eat pizza with a spoon.
Every night at eight,
I eat pizza on a sled.
By Nan
One Morning
One morning when I awoke
I found a stork up on my head,
It looked at me and said,
"I don't know what you're looking at
But I thought I'd be your feathery new hat!
