My Cousin Michael My cousin Michael makes me laugh He makes me very happy He’s like a tornado My grandma and grandpa get mad Because he is very bad He can skateboard really well But he can also waist food He can act very crazy He is never lazy We all call him Mike mike He is so not a mite mike

School I’m sitting at my desk With a pest on it I go to lunch With a bunch of fuss They know I don’t like crust My best friend, Nick, Is sick I went to gym But they showed us a film Man! School was boring today

The Lion When ever he walks on the ground it rumbles And when the others see him they tremble When he roars they scream and run For he will try to get them He likes meat but he doesn’t like the heat When he races even though he eats meat He doesn’t want to cheat Even though he loses Sometimes he gets distracted by meat And he sometimes he climbs trees But he doesn’t like the sees

Why Do We Have To Follow Rules Why do we have to follow rules? Why do we have to clean our rooms? Why do we have to follow rules? I don’t like to sweep the floors. Why do we have to knock on the door? Why we have to follow I don’t know. Why do we have to listen to adults? Why do we have to watch gulf? I don’t like to follow the rules. I don’t like to be told what to do. This is not very good! Sometimes we have to follow the rules. If you don’t follow rules you’ll be a fool!!!

Bunnies I have a bunny. They are cute and funny. But it cost me a lot of money. You have to feed them so they can eat, So they can grow in there big feet. There ears are long and there fur is so fuzzy. That is a real fuzzy bunny. There tail is bushy, so cute and fuzzy. They don’t like eating honey. When they jump they look so funny.

THE SILVER NIGHT I’m still awake on this silver night The stars are bright Wolves are howling Bugs are chirping I held my blanket close to me The tree is whipping my window I see a shadow outside I see an owl in the pine tree A spider is crawling on my ceiling The eyes of a cat are glowing on this silver night

Kick the ball is a fun game to play. You have to get a ball to kick and you can kick it however you want to. You can take breaks anytime you’re hot, or sweaty. If you don’t pass it you’re out of the game all day long. You can play with someone else. You can play any game. Sometimes we play soccer. You can’t pick it up with your hands. If you do you’re cheating. You have to be fair.

WHY It’s funny how hello is always accompanied with good-bye. It’s funny how remembering good memories can make you cry! Its funny how forever never seems to really last. It’s funny how much you’d lose if you forgot your past! It’s funny how friends can’t just leave you when you’re down. It’s funny how you need someone who is never around! It’s funny how people can change and think they’re so much better. Its funny how many lies can be packed into one love letter? It’s funny how people can forgive even though they can’t forget! It’s funny how one night can contain so much regret. But the funniest part of all is that none of this seems so funny to me!

Blossoms I love the way the wind Blows the blossoms, It’s beautiful Than life it’s self. There all kinds of colors And shapes some like grapes! Some are playful Some are rough I love blossoms so much I don’t care if there tough; My friends think I’m crazy But there just lazy! I think about them everyday Even when I lay; I love blossoms! I look at them everyday in lots of ways.

Love Roses are red violets are blue I can’t wait love you to I’m very happy I’m falling for you My heart is blushing like the color crimson red I can’t believe my name is Fred My mom calls me Feddy wetty Cause I sometimes I wet the bed But sorry if you’re disgusted by this part I just want to win your beautiful heart I’ll get you a Diamond necklace for Valentines Day Because I love you more than anything else in the world today When we get older I want us to have six sons But it’s only to bad that were only five years old.

Some Say Don’t Say Some Say Do
Some say don’t say some say do. Some may like green but maybe you like blue. Some like swirling model globs around. Some like driving their cars up and down town. Why do they do this I don’t know? Maybe it’s like the wind blow. It could be fast or it could be slow. Just maybe they don’t know. Well enough about this what about you. Do you know why some say don’t say some say do?

Bandidamation Bandidamation is Going to be a Domination across the nation Even at the police station. I rap better than Dreezy , 50, Snoop Deezy because I’m like Weezy. When it comes to Bandidamation I’m Domination when I crush You I transform like Transformers Do there Transformation. I am a beast When I beat my victims they’re my feast. When I finish I roar Because I want more. You’re going down when I beat you in your town. I’m worldwide I beat my Competitors with pride.

Thriller His green eyes in the dark, When he leaves, he leaves his mark. All the children on the block, He makes them want to hide in their socks. The big adults as well, Are very scared as well. As he goes along, the big horse trot, And the big bad guy scares a lot. Although he may seem like a giant, He’s just my little brother Bryant.

Being Lazy I hate to think It makes me pink I hope I do not go to Frink Let’s go to the skating rink Get me a drink I have to buy a tinker The timer goes tick I have sudden link I wish I was named Nick I am out of ink I am a stink I am a drink I’m a drunk I’m bathing I’m just sitting around My sister is bragging Let’s go bowling I saw a bird He tried to sin

Summer Summer is the greatest season of all. There is no school and there is lots of baseball. I have no homework and I can stay up late. I can go fishing everyday and catch my own bait. We go to the beach and play in the sand. Ride on our skim boards and get a good tan. We grill out at night and swim all day. Our friends can come over at night and stay. Summer vacations with my family are cool. I hate when its and I have to go back to school.

The Night The darkness, the night, it gives me such fright. Moths, bugs, insects crawling on the lights. Flying and dashing through the night, But still don’t know why it gives me such fright. If you get lucky you might see A rare bug in sight. I would watch out Because some bugs bite. Its peaceful, Its dark But I still don’t know why it gives me such frightening scare. If you dare, Go outside into the dark night.

Cheesy Cheetos I had some big cheesy Cheetos, They where way bigger than Fritos, They made your mouth green, Like a huge string bean. Cheetos are zesty, and sometimes twisty, Sometimes if your mouth turns green you’ll be mean, I like cheesy Cheetos with bean burritos, The cheese makes your mouth also blue; It makes you want to move, It also makes you want to groove.
