Pumpkins
Pies and other things Use this colored squash Many of these things are delicious Picking them is also fun and so is Keeping them to carve Indians call this one of the three sisters. At Night some of these are lit with candles So bright
Between
Squirrels whisk away nuts into trees Other animals go North if they please. Some have new houses to mold They stay, even during the cold. The leaves fall with bright hues Red and orange and yellow too. Flowers are dying because they know, It is between the Summer and the snow.
Four Little Pumpkins
Four little pumpkins sit on an edge, One fell off and busted his head, Momma called the vegetarian and they said, "Make a meal out of his head". Three little pumpkins sit on an edge, One fell off and cracked his head, Momma called the vegetarian and they said, "Make a pie out of his head". Two little pumpkins sit on an edge, One fell off and smashed his head, Momma called the vegetarian and they said, "Make soup out of his head". One little pumpkin sat on an edge, Looking nice with no dents on his head, Momma saw the pumpkin and Momma said, "Lets make a Jack-O-Lantern from his head".
Creeping Fog
I see the fog on the horizon, creeping ever nearer. My hand stops moving in anticipation, for what comes next. I try to run but I cannot escape, the slowly creeping fog. In my throat I try to scream, but I cannot. I see many creatures in the fog, all gray and flat. Their eyes plead for help, a rescue. The fog slowly covers me, I feel gray too. My eyes close and breathing slows, I know what happened. Just one thought left in my head: Writers Block.
Limericks
For school I had to write a few limericks.
A lady once loved a great knight
And he had a dragon to fight
First the dragon did wheeze
Then he let off with a sneeze
Anyone want a crunchy knight?
There was a dragon and a knight
Add a princess and a big fight
A shield and a fire
Now things are most dire
Figure it out before tonight.
I once had this question most dire
Add a dragon and a sire
So I took a long walk
And I thought, and I thought
Was the knight tested by fire?
Then for a challenge I had to write a limerick that was not funny.
I fear this limerick is sad
Of nothing I have to be glad
I cry and I weep
Untill I fall asleep
Because I have been bad
Camp McGuire
After a rough firstday, Flopsy enjoyed the next day much more!
Dear Mommy,
I love you, and miss you. Life here at camp is so much fun. My counselors are Audrey and Megan!
I have a new friend, his name is Thor. Thor is big and snores a lot but I like him, his counselor is Adrian. We play a game called ‘The Couches are Lava’. If you get on one they take you off, so the flames are extinguished! We play it easy so all the couches are lava but our beds are safe.
We don’t know when mess hour is but usually it’s after Audrey gets home both times . Audrey leaves a lot but it might be a surprise for me… Or it might be to feed the animals across the street, but I don’t know and I won’t ask.
It has been snowing here a lot. My biggest problem is that it is very cold out.The camp is very nice and warm and I like it a lot.
I am learning lots of new things like obeying, reading, and writing. Maybe I can get my hair dyed red like Audrey and maybe it will turn pink, I like pink a lot! I hope you are cool there and make sure you drink a lot of lemonade.
Love you a lot,
Flopsy
Babysitting Flopsy
This month we are babysitting Flopsy (Oma’s dog). She is white and small. We are making up stories about Flopsy with just a little bit of truth in them. Here is the first note that “Flopsy” wrote to Oma.
Dear Mommy,
I love you! These weeks without you have been soooo long. Audrey leaves a lot and I miss her, I whine hoping she will come back faster but they don’t like it. They also don’t let me on couches, they scold me when I get on one. At night when I go out Audrey puts me on a leash because I decided to take a walk on my own one night. She did not like having to come look for me at their neighbors.
Their big dog is mean. He eats my food when I don’t touch it for a while, he sometimes drinks my water too! They put me in a cage when they leave but Thor (their dog) gets to roam around, it’s just not fair.
Mommy please! please! please! Get me out of here! Get back soon! Otherwise I might starve to death! But it’s time for bed now mommy.
Goodnight mommy.
Love;
Flopsy
Paul
Yesterday, we went to the neighbors and I played with Paul. He enjoyed me petting him.
