Brett Favre
Brett Favre has just retired.
He was one we all admired.
He has packed up his suitcase.
So Aaron Rodgers can take his place.

Dawn
A really really fast sprinter
Who has more than one cat.
We like sledding in the Winter
And we love to chat.
So she needs glasses to see,
And has never mown the lawn.
That's who she will always be
My awesome friend Dawn!
Where Am I?
Boing, Boing, Boing
That's the sound you hear
As you go higher and higher and higher
Reaching for the sky.
Grunt, Grunt, Grunt
That's the noise you make
Grunting to go higher
Grunting to reach the top.
Whirl, Whirl, Whirl
The sound of the wind
As your twirling
In the air.
And then a gentle thump
As you land.
Shrieks from your friends,
As they fall from the sky
With thumps.

A Summer's Morning
There's a cool mist
In the air.
The grass is waving to you
Like a friend.
You look
At all the beautiful things around you
The trees, the flowers, the clouds.
The sun is slowly coming up.
And you feel happy.

BANG!
The race has begun.
You're sprinting on the track.
Then you fall down with a smack.
No worries.
And you get up in a hurry.
Running to catch up.
Running to be first not the worst.
Gliding to the front
To win the race.
On a Sunny day,
Smiley, Silly Sally
Went to see her
Smiley, Sunny friend Sharon
So Smiley, Silly Sally
And Smiley, Sunny Sharon
Went to the store
And saw a
Sunny, Silly Snake
Smiley, Silly Sally
And Smiley, Sunny Sharon
Bought the Sunny, Silly Snake
With the small amount of money
They found in their skirts
Smiley, Silly Sally
Smiley, Sunny Sharon
And their Sunny, Silly Snake
Enjoyed the Sunny, Silly day!
Pencils
Scritch-sratch
Scritch-scratch
The sound
of a single pencil
across a blank sheet
of paper.
Writing, shading, drawing.
Creating stories of
dragons and knights.
Where all great books began.

Maria
A friend of mine
A friend indeed.
She's smart, and fast, and loves to read.
We haven't fought
No not ever
I hope we stay best friends forever!
Jenna
Running, running, running
As fast as a cheetah
Knowing if she won the race
There would be an ice cream sundae
Waiting for her.
Like a bird
Gliding through the sky.
Running, running, running
to finish the race.
Smiles! Smiles!
Very Contagious
Smiles!
Big Smiles!
and & Old
Small Young
Smiles!

I dreamed
Brett Favre
Came to my house
Bringing his family
From Mississippi

I dreamed
The president
Came to our school
Bringing all his security guards
In his long limo

I dreamed
Bacrack Obama
Came to Elgin
Bringing along his campaign
Hoping that we will vote for him
