Please don’t make me write this poem I would rather just go home Mrs. Moritz, please have mercy I cannot write any poetry
Persuasive poems are hard to write And I may be up all night How this thought fills me with sorrow What about my math test tomorrow?
My teachers assign so many things All this homework hurts my feelings When I work on homework the minutes fly My lack of time makes me want to cry
I enjoy poetry, yes this is true And this assignment, I’d gladly do But my mind is addled from lack of sleep And I’m not even sure what rhymes with “sleep”
Please understand, it’s not because I’m lazy But I just can’t write poems when my mind is so hazy I’m sure you’d prefer something with quality Over something that could by by a kid in grade three
Mrs. Moritz, I think you’re great For my poem, can’t you wait? If you excuse how long it might take I’ll bake you some chocolate cake
Harry Potter is his name If you don’t like him ‘tis a shame, Day in, day out I always shout Whenever, I hear his name. Draco Malfoy, evil git Even he will throw a fit, If Harry is not liked. For The Boy Who Lived is famous you see So how one cannot possible be In love with him is a quandary. The Chosen One, the King, Just doing their thing. The Brightest Which of Her Age, Will take your mind out of its cave. So come with me And you will surely see, The beauty that Harry Potter can be. By: Toni Herr
My childhood. It is another world. 7 books, Many words, One perfect story. Harry Potter Is the name, A simple scar His claim to fame. You may say there is no point, You may say it's stupid. To those who doubt, Thowse who hate, I have but one word, For all to hear, But one word, Loud and clear. Crucio! ~Katie C.
There is something that I want It is very dear to me I know you may not like this But please listen to my plea I want a little puppy A little adoptee
With fuzzy fur and wagging tail He would always play and run I would play with him all day Till we were spent and done And I won't give up asking Till my argument is won
I would always be responsible And take care of my dog I would take him on walks Through all rain and fog He would be my dearest friend Cheer me up if I'm in a bog
Something foreign, a must for me, I want to go somewhere, as there is something I want to see, It's green but Ice still fits it's name, I won't make a fuss, if that's what you believe, then I'll stir up trouble, and still find time to grieve, I want to go badly, oh can't you see, Iceland is a must for me.
If you buy me a car, I won’t hit the bar, I’ll have more money, For when I get a honey, And I can pay more for college So I can get knowledge, Just as repayment For the great entertainment, That I’d get from my car, I won’t have to use yours Or crawl on all fours To get to my friends’ house. I could take you to the store, Or anything more, All I need is a car, And the world would be free, So pretty pretty please, Just buy one for me.
How could I have done it? I don’t even know! I was framed for this misdeed, that’s got to show. It wasn’t my fault; someone else is in the wrong. When will you realize, I’ve been right all along? It’s plain that I’m innocent, there’s no proof to convict. Except maybe the bakers, but they always contradict. And maybe the doorman, who watched and who waited, But they didn’t see nothin’! It won’t need to be debated. I swear it wasn't me, your witnesses are lying, Keep searching for the person, for time they are buying. The pedestrian was incorrect, in placing me there. They must have been bought off, by the man with the bear. On that subject, who knows if he's to be trusted? His eyes are too shifty, his nose is all busted. You've got to believe I could do no such thing as this crime that on me you're pinning.
Please Put Me in the Game
ReplyDeleteI spend my nights in this gym
Working as hard as I can
I push myself to the limit
I follow your plan
But no matter how hard I try
Even if I know the plays
You barely acknowledge me
On our important game days
I want more than anything
To help our team win
But I sit on the bench
Begging you to put me in
You started to listen
As our season came to a close
But I wish you had seen before
How I played like the pros
My defense was better
I could steal the ball
My offense was great
I executed it all
I have pure decication
And am committed too
I need more playing time
I can show you
I have the potential
I could be a starter
But I have no more experience
Than in the fourth quarter
If you give me that chance
To show you I can play
I won't let you down, Coach
I am here to stay
School should start late every day
ReplyDeleteBecause at 1:30 we don't want to stay
We are slow and tired
at the time they required
We would be more attentive
and actually have a motive
The early mornings are ruining us
If we started later, we wouldn't fuss
So I hope that you consider
This little life saver
If we just started later
The world would be greater
Mom and Dad, please buy me some Coach shoes
ReplyDeleteI've been saying this forever, it is not new news
Though they cost a lot
Please give the idea some thought
I've got good grades, I've made my bed
I've been a good girl, it's not in your head
It's just so easy, to go to the mall
And bring them home so we can all have a ball
My shoes are tired and worn and I have no other choice
I'm sitting on your shoulder, please listen to my voice
I'm tired of sneaking into Joey's room
And stealing her shoes to recreate our doom
I deserve these fantastic shoes
so to the mall, we will cruise
Rachel H
When I turn sixteen I will have a license
ReplyDeleteI will then need a car to drive since
I’m going to go places with friends
Places where the fun never ends
Without a car, I will be a loner
And will live in a dorm with my roommate the stoner
If you don’t want me to end up high
I think it’d be best if you were to buy
Me a car in which I could drive around in
And live a happy, successful life therein
Drugs will ruin my chances at success
And I will have to work at Wal-Mart for even less
If I ever finish my education, no one will hire me
Because I have been at Wal-Mart for my life’s entirety
A car can change this, and you won’t be ashamed of me
Because I’ll have a job with a starting salary
Of one hundred thousand, five hundred fifty
I Need a Car
ReplyDeleteby Paige J.
On those freezing mornings,
LPS ignored the warnings,
we trek through the snow
and all the flakes will blow
getting me a new purple car
or some money for my money jar
will end all this pain and cold
so please, if I may be so bold,
buy me a purple Saturn Vue
of a purple car or two
Imagine all the driving,
all those painful hours driving
I could just bring myself
while to a massage you treat yourself
Imagine all the time you'd save
if me a car you gave
Please Adopt One
ReplyDeleteThe puppies are small,
And honestly they are quite tiny,
Each an itty-bitty fuzz ball,
With those eyes that are oh so shiny.
Without a home
They sit and pout,
Waiting for someone to let them roam
And trust without another doubt.
Looking for new lives,
Adopt a sweet puppy now
It could be a present for your wives!
Don’t get that big fat milking cow.
They are loyal and fun,
Playful and sweet,
Though they may eat your sour dough bun.
A new family member to meet.
Quite frankly we are running out of money,
These poor dogs are starving,
And trust me, its not funny.
Buy a dog instead of that carving.
They need to go
To a happy house
Where the families love will flow
and there isn’t the sight of one dirty mouse.
Adopt one now.
They need your help,
To eat some better puppy chow.
Don’t let them just lie here and yelp.
-Brooke G
It just so happens that today,
ReplyDeleteI came across a puppy stray.
And ever since I was quite small,
I have wanted a puffball
Unfortunately there is one flaw.
Puppies are against my parents’ law.
So here I am trying to convince,
My parents they don’t need to wince.
You see, I would take such good care,
Of that little puppy there.
I would take him on my strolls.
And fill up any garden holes.
I would keep him nice and neat.
And give him plenty food to eat.
I will train him so he obeys.
And I will love him all his days.
So mom and dad please let me keep,
This adorable puppy or I will weep.
-Elly Jack
Flakes fall from the heavens
ReplyDeleteBut I’m waking up at seven
Other schools have been delayed
While they’re still sleeping we’re wide awake
Ice and snow make roads slick
And while I’m driving the clock ticks
Bus drivers deserve a break
From all the chaos they take
And staff works so hard
They must just be marred
Students don’t get much sleep
The wrong decision will make them want to weep
Oh superintendent, about this I pray,
Wont you please let us have one little snow day?

DeleteThe Poetry Challenge
ReplyDeleteSchool is over,
But my brain does a turnover.
I greatly dread,
The pile of homework ahead.
The workload is giant,
But I know I will do it to be compliant.
But by far the worst,
Is the poetry that makes my head burst.
As soon I finally sit down to my desk and think,
My brain quickly starts to shrink.
I hope with all my heart,
That I will soon be able to start.
I cannot think of anything worse,
Than to write rhyming verse.
My brain has now turned to slop,
I hope someday the poetry unit will stop.
Oh teacher I would love for you to say,
The poetry unit ends today!

ReplyDeleteMom and Dad, backwards I will bend
If you will just let me have a furry friend
No a bunny, hamster, nor cat will do best
A puppy can only fulfill my request.
I am aware that you doubt my responsibility
But I promise to care for him with great agility
I can brush him, walk him, and feed him as well
I can pay for it all; you do not have to yell!
I can’t say I have loved anything more
than that cute little dog barking in the pet store.
I’ll come down with a case of happiness fever
If you let me have that little golden retriever
I beg of you parents, I am on my knees
Let me adopt that small puppy, please!
Let me go out Tonight
ReplyDeleteI want to go out tonight
To see a movie full of fright
My friends are waiting for me
They don’t know where I’ll be
I want to go out tonight
Let me stay out till midnight
I will be responsible
Any way I’m unstoppable
You can’t keep me here all day
If you say no I will give an unpleasant display
Might as well say “Yes”
For you I will impress
Please let me go out tonight
And don’t be so uptight
By Nick S.
Be healthy
ReplyDeleteIt leads to wealthy
Be happy
It doesn’t make you sappy
Have a good attitude
So people will not be rood
Be positive
It will give you prerogative
Keep I good mind
People will think your kind
Have good qualities
Keep trick of you realities
Keep your identity
It will bring you plenty
You’ll be successful
You won’t be restful

Challenging the Flowers
ReplyDeleteSo let us see, what I can say,
To inspire you on this cold wintry day.
That everyone is special and unique,
And everyone has a message that they want to speak.
We each have our talents that we own,
And to others we must condone.
We all see differently this world of ours.
We all have dreams somewhere up in the stars.
We all are flowers, different shapes, size, and color.
And we all want the approval of the other.
So, dear reader, I want to say,
What are you going to do today?
To support your peers in all that they do,
And to also offer a smile or two.
How will you make our world a better place?
And help others find their own little space?
In this world there are the ups and downs,
And sometimes we need to hear a cheerful sound.
Or have a helping hand reach out to us,
So we don’t feel like the passing dust.
We all are special and different as well.
Hopefully this is a message I don’t really need to tell.
Smile some, laugh a lot,
And help others out when they get in a tough spot.
And now, my dear reader, I will say good bye,
Until there is another time.
Until there is more to say,
Another message to convey.
I hope you hear this and take it to heart.
Now I have challenged you, here’s a little push, now start
Don’t dive there
ReplyDeleteIf you do your case will not be so rare
For your body will hurt
Because it’s like diving in dirt
Don’t dive in the shallow pool
You be as cool as you feel
You’ll bob up in pain
For you hit your head on the drain
Fine dive there
I would not care
It is deep enough
That it will not be dangerous
Don’t ski away
It is not the right day
The snow pack is weak
And this could make things bleak
The snow will crack and slide
And it is possible that you collide
With a mighty tree
And this could be deadly
Gabe S
Look from where I stand.
ReplyDeleteI beg you to please understand,
That it pains me to leave
And watch you sit there and grieve.
But I’m a grownup now
And I need you to allow
For me to have time and space,
And the ability to find my place.
And as I watch from my window as I drive away,
I want you to know that even though I may be far away,
I will always be with you in your heart.
Even if we are far apart.

ReplyDeleteNo More Smoke
ReplyDeleteListen now, this isn’t a joke,
I’m tired of this, no more smoke,
I think we need a law,
Because in this country I’ve found a flaw,
Cigarettes are bad, for they cause cancer,
It might as well be called a death enhancer,
What’s the upside, I don’t see one,
That’s right, there are none,
Is it too much to ask,
Together, we can finish this task,
So government I call to you,
Stop this; make our country feel new,
Smoking creates a dark cloud,
If we could stop this, my mom would be proud,
No more smoke!
To a Friend:
ReplyDeleteHey, I know that times are rough,
But really, you should just hang tough.
You've tried so hard, but your dreams, they've shattered.
Now all I want is to tell you that you matter.
Believe me when I say that you happiness is due,
I'm here to let you know I'll be here through and through.
For all that you've lost, there's so much to gain,
That's why you can't let your dreams wane.
I know that this is all coming out a little sappy,
But what I want is for you to be happy.
So right now I'm just calling to say,
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day.

Downward dog, warrior three

Yoga is a fun pastime
Try yoga it ain't a crime
Live With a Dream
ReplyDeleteBy: Blake D.
Life is not worth wasting on sorrow and grief,
It’s better worth wasting on a simple belief.
Not only to live and love and be free,
But to live with one another in sweet harmony.
So don’t give up on life because it’s too hard,
Just keep persevering and playing the right card.
I know it can be hard, trust me when I talk,
Because I know what it’s like to be under a cell with a lock.
By thinking only that life is never as perfect as it seems,
It’s hard and complicated especially with no dreams.
So dream one more dream if none at last,
To persevere forever, but not very fast.
Always remember and never forget,
That whenever in doubt dream on, it’s always correct.
My dear viola is too young
ReplyDeleteits full potential cannot be sung
The Wood is too new,
the imperfections not few
The potential I hold,
with a viola of old
We are tight with money
and times are not too sunny
Music helps me through it
please let me pursue it
A better viola to buy
And nothing goes awry
I really enjoy collecting shoes
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes have trouble picking which ones to choose
But when I fin ones that cath my eye
I know if I don't get them I will have to cry
I collect Jordan's the best shoes of them all
When you have them on you feel like you can't fall
These shows I want are perfect in every way
And are made up of five different jays
The problem is I don't have the money
And if I don't get them I will feel like a dumby
For every day I sit and stare
At the shoes I want the special pair
So please buy them for me I love you a lot
I will be the happiest kid after they are bought
I Hope You Dance.
ReplyDeleteTo everyone of the world
Do you know what its like to twirl?
Have you ever done a grand jeté?
Or attended the ballet?
I ask you now, won't you sit and listen
Do you ever just dance in your kitchen?
Dancing is a wonderful art
So come on now, be smart
Why would you choose to simply walk?
When there are so many ways to get across
You could chasse, leap, or even prance
There are so many different types of dance
Gabriella N.
Please let me retake that test
ReplyDeleteIf you let me you are the best
If you don’t, this will sound rude
But basically my grade is screwed
When it comes to this subject I don’t have a clue
I think at least a passable grade will do
This grade cost me an arm and a leg
So please don’t make me beg
This is a small indication
That I suck at multiplication
I will redo the test anytime you accept
Because my grade is something I won’t neglect
I really did study and work hard
So I deserve at least a golden star
Its up to you weather I can retake the test
And if you let me, I promise I’ll do my very best
You decide my grades fate
So please make that decision without any hate
Survivor
ReplyDeletedon’t spend your life living in fear
running from shots fired and fined
they do not define your, dear,
and they never understand your mind
even in your earliest days
they try to bring you down being mean
but keep your chin up, it pays,
and always pursue your dream
you see, anguish cuts like a knife
the pain is not visible today
but can soon cause strife
leaving an empty space someday
unless you remember yourself
that you are amazing too, my love
and stay off the shelf
to fly and soar and love like a beautiful dove
-Lauren T.
Loneliness
ReplyDeleteIt’s easy to forget
How complacent we can get
And speak only to our friends
For which we cannot make amends
For from each tight-knit, exclusive group
Someone is left out of the loop
Though this person may seem a creep
The hurt inside will make them weep
And you in your world will never know
That this kind of pain strikes down low
And as you judge them while you walk by
You’ll miss that they’re just as cool as you or I
And while you laugh at their stammering stutter
They look away ashamed as you mutter
“What a weirdo, what a freak”
It’ll tare them down until they’re weak
So please remember this and try to start
reach out to the outcasts with an open heart
The Movies
ReplyDeleteDear Mom and Dad
If you don’t let me go out tonight, I’ll be sad
I work so hard at school
If I don’t go, I’ll look like a fool
All my friends are going
I’ll bring a jacket if it’s snowing
The Vow is the best movie of the year
Let me go, and I will always hold you dear
Channing Tatum is extremely attractive
I would love to see him, so let’s be proactive
You know I love popcorn and candy
In the movie my mood will be just dandy
I promise I won’t do anything bad
This will be the best night I’ve ever had
I know I’m grounded
But think of how good this argument sounded
Don’t make me be a person that hollers
Can I have 20 dollars?
Persuasions
ReplyDeleteIt’s up to my knees, it’s clouding my head,
This horrible weather has bound me to bed.
I should be preparing for the boring school day,
But I can’t seem to face the cold sky so grey.
My friends have all texted “School today, ugh.”
There’s someone to blame for this terrible luck.
The superintendent said “Off to school, kids!”
Perhaps he should rethink that statement of his.
It’s windy, it’s wet, it’s 20 below zero,
Just give us a snow day, and you’ll be a hero!
Traffic is bad, our car will get stuck,
Emma has to walk through the slush and the muck!
The other school districts are out, why not us?
We’re freezing and tired while waiting for the bus.
Today, like always, let your best judgement guide you,
And be sure that you keep a space heater beside you.
Don’t Kill The Fish!
ReplyDeleteThe light hits the water just so,
The waves rolling in,
A beautiful sight to behold,
And to damage it would be a sin.
The bright colors dart through the water,
Propelled only by a fin,
The fish put on a marvelous show,
And everyone else joins in.
But the dance is soon interrupted,
By a huge and bulky Quin,
The fish are bundled up,
Awaiting the cans made of tin.
They only wished to swim along,
But they certainly cannot win,
So all you have to do is,
Don't lure the fish in.
The lesson to be learned is,
Instead of putting fish in a bin,
Why don’t you watch the dance, and then,
Maybe you’ll even join in.
Living in Colorado is great
ReplyDeleteI like the people, the mountains- I like the whole state.
But there is the occasion that here it will snow
Ten inches, ten feet… We never do know!
Making snowmen and angels and forts is a blast
But instead we’re in school, learning about the past.
No matter how wet, how cold, or how dreary,
I stumble to school, and it’s pathetic really.
Since every day I walk to school,
I need some equipment that will keep me cool.
And by cool, I of course mean DRY,
When I show up to math soaked, I always want to cry.
And since the superintendent won’t cancel school…
Please, Mom and Dad, I need some new snow boots!
Show me the Money
ReplyDeleteI work all night and day
And yet I still get little pay
I need the money
So I can take you out honey
I want to be like Donald Trump
So that way I don’t look like a dump
If I had money it would be good for you
Because I will be immune from the flu
Show me the money
And I will help our country
So don’t you see
That money is made for me
So let me have more money
So I can buy you a chocolate bunny
Baseball
ReplyDeleteI shall make it
If I shan't, I couldn't take it
Tryouts are coming up
I've purchased myself a brand new cup
I have new cleats
For my little feets
New pants as well
This will be quite swell
Brand new gear for the season
I must make it, and that is the reason
Please don’t make me write this poem
ReplyDeleteI would rather just go home
Mrs. Moritz, please have mercy
I cannot write any poetry
Persuasive poems are hard to write
And I may be up all night
How this thought fills me with sorrow
What about my math test tomorrow?
My teachers assign so many things
All this homework hurts my feelings
When I work on homework the minutes fly
My lack of time makes me want to cry
I enjoy poetry, yes this is true
And this assignment, I’d gladly do
But my mind is addled from lack of sleep
And I’m not even sure what rhymes with “sleep”
Please understand, it’s not because I’m lazy
But I just can’t write poems when my mind is so hazy
I’m sure you’d prefer something with quality
Over something that could by by a kid in grade three
Mrs. Moritz, I think you’re great
For my poem, can’t you wait?
If you excuse how long it might take
I’ll bake you some chocolate cake
Can I be "sick" today?
ReplyDeleteCan’t I just sleep and lay
In my bed today?
I’m willing to pay
Homework and many “oks”
Just to stay home one day
I’d sleep in
And maybe even win
Some board games we'd play, much to your chagrin
Can’t you just say yes to my askin’?
I’d be really good
Like you know I would
Mom – have you already misunderstood?
Understand this please - it’s my begging that you’ve withstood
I’m really not sick
But I want to stick
In this house, skipping school – it’d be really slick
It would be a great trick
Please, oh please
Before I start to fake sneeze
Oh, don't make me get on my knees
Just say yes with ease!
Oh, Mom, isn’t there any way
That I can be "sick" today?
My Life
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter is his name
If you don’t like him ‘tis a shame,
Day in, day out
I always shout
Whenever, I hear his name.
Draco Malfoy, evil git
Even he will throw a fit,
If Harry is not liked.
For The Boy Who Lived is famous you see
So how one cannot possible be
In love with him is a quandary.
The Chosen One, the King,
Just doing their thing.
The Brightest Which of Her Age,
Will take your mind out of its cave.
So come with me
And you will surely see,
The beauty that Harry Potter can be.

My childhood.
ReplyDeleteIt is another world.
7 books,
Many words,
One perfect story.
Harry Potter
Is the name,
A simple scar
His claim to fame.
You may say
there is no point,
You may say it's stupid.
To those who doubt,
Thowse who hate,
I have but one word,
For all to hear,
But one word,
Loud and clear.
Crucio!

Vacation
ReplyDeleteIt's cold outside
I have not lied
The wheather is so bad
I might just go mad
Let's fly far away
To a destanation get-a-way
Skipping school won't hurt a bit
If I stay I will have a fit
Book some tickets
Let's get to it
Hawaii won't wait much longer
Jamaica isn't getting stronger
Come on y'all
We will have a ball
Let's get away from all this dreary
Oh won't you be such a deary?

Persuasive Poem~
ReplyDeleteMy best friend in the whole wide world
Really is not your average girl.
And for some reason unbeknownst to me
She's chosen you to bring her glee.
But heed my warning and heed it fast
Break her heart, and it will be your last.
She's giving you everything she can
So please try, for her. to stay a good man.
You may fight about class and virtue,
and maybe there's a chance she might even hurt you.
But as her best friend it's my obligation to say:
If things go bad, then from me stay away.
~Elli S.
Music
ReplyDeleteCapture and enlighten me
Make me feel free
Let your sound drift into my ears
With your inspiration, I have no fears
Please help me find the way
Of my steps each and every day
Without you, I have neither reason nor rhyme
Come closer-be mine.
Buy me a horse
ReplyDeleteThat’s what I endorse
I know I have one
But two is more fun
Maybe a shire
They’re a little bit higher
Or maybe a mini
With a cute little whinny
Perhaps one with dapples
Who loves to eat apples
Or maybe a paint
So gorgeous I faint
But if you ask me what I really fancy
I’d say an Arabian, they’re fun and pracny
sorry i misspelled a word in here, the second one is the right one

It doesn’t have to be shiny,
ReplyDeleteit may even be tiny.
I just want a car to drive around,
Without it, I’m feeling quite down.
A licence i do not own,
but i will keep on trying until you moan.
Who needs a licence anyway?
Driving is easier than ballet.
I can drive better than a professional.
The want of a car is quite obsessional.
I can’t live on without one anymore,
My life is just becoming a bore.
Wishing of placing that are too far away,
‘A magical car will appear to take me there!’ i pray.
Frankly, a car is just my only wish
I wouldn’t even mind if it looked like a soap dish.
There is better rush that makes you feel alive,
ReplyDeleteSo jump out a plane and skydive.
You will scream aloud
As your friends and you race through the clouds.
Your heart beats fast enough that it may burst
This is the only way it will satisfy your adrenaline’s thirst.
And as your lugs fill with air
Be strong, and open your parachute, you’re nearly there.
As you land you’ll surely realize
How only several minutes have passed bye.
Days later you will look to the sky
To remember the day when you did fly.
One that happens, come to me and say
Would you like to come sky diving with me today?
The Sport
ReplyDeleteI love the sport, I really do
Just a little running makes me feel anew
I know that I must get in shape
But the coaches mouth I'd like to tape
The stairs, the laps, the pushups too
the parents just can't get a clue
I love the sport, really it's true
but the training I hate that we have to go through
I'll play as well I truly can
I'll even pretent to be your #1 fan
But the running and jumping for hours on end
Has gone way too far for me to comprehend
I have a respect for the sport as I should
But I can't be the best I really could
Cause' the pain in my legs and the burn in my knees
have dropped me down to beg you, please!
I'll do all the drills that require a cone
But the stairs on tihs day will just make me groan
Please don't make us frun, for miles on end
A few short sprints will make me your friend
I love the sport for as long as I've playes
And with all this running I can't believe I've stayed
Persuasive Poem
ReplyDeleteColleen R.
There is something that I want
It is very dear to me
I know you may not like this
But please listen to my plea
I want a little puppy
A little adoptee
With fuzzy fur and wagging tail
He would always play and run
I would play with him all day
Till we were spent and done
And I won't give up asking
Till my argument is won
I would always be responsible
And take care of my dog
I would take him on walks
Through all rain and fog
He would be my dearest friend
Cheer me up if I'm in a bog
So please won't you get me
A little puppy dog?
A dinosaur is the pet for me
ReplyDeleteI would be the coolest kid in this country
We could strut up and down
The cool cats in town
The people would love him
When we go to the gym
And stand up and cheer
At his weight lifting premier
I would do my homework
Without going berserk
And clean up my room
And wash and vacuum
To keep the house clean
Till the counter tops gleam
I could feed him with food
And safe and shampooed
My own dinosaur
Our lives would be like never before
Something foreign,
ReplyDeletea must for me,
I want to go somewhere,
as there is something I want to see,
It's green but Ice still fits it's name,
I won't make a fuss, if that's what you believe,
then I'll stir up trouble,
and still find time to grieve,
I want to go badly, oh can't you see,
Iceland is a must for me.
I meant elsewhere
Delete"I want to go elsewhere"

DeleteIf you buy me a car,
ReplyDeleteI won’t hit the bar,
I’ll have more money,
For when I get a honey,
And I can pay more for college
So I can get knowledge,
Just as repayment
For the great entertainment,
That I’d get from my car,
I won’t have to use yours
Or crawl on all fours
To get to my friends’ house.
I could take you to the store,
Or anything more,
All I need is a car,
And the world would be free,
So pretty pretty please,
Just buy one for me.
NL West
ReplyDeleteThe diamondbacks cannot repeat,
Seeing them lose will be a treat.
The Padres out in Petco Park,
Will most surely be off the mark.
The Giants with pitching so great,
Too bad the bats swing too late.
Sure the Dodgers have Matt Kemp,
But the ownership has got too much hemp.
There is but one more team in the division!
Surely the wild west has a decision.
The Rockies will take it with youth in the bats,
Don't forget about the pitching, those are the facts.

Why can't I go skiing?
ReplyDeletePlease stop disagreeing
Just because I play
You shouldn't take love away
I promise I won't get hurt
I'll pay attention and be alert
A ski pass you bought me
So don't waste money, let me ski
I am really doing you a favor
You'll thank me when your on that powder layer
I know you love that fluffy snow
So don't you wait, its time to go
So Mom and Dad, please listen to my plea
We will have so much fun if you come with me
The fast moving city of Tokyo
ReplyDeleteis a place everyone has ought to go
You can hang out for hours in Sakura trees;
pick out the blossoms or relax in the breeze
You can go out for dinner at Kyubei
worlds finest sushi along with green tea
Forever this will be the place to go
just hang out for hours in Tokyo

School, please start later
ReplyDeleteI will be greater
When I can have more sleep
Good grades I will keep
I can focus during the day
And my mind will not stray
I will be able to learn
Then my parents will have no concern
When I get more sleep
Good grades I will keep
School, please start later
I will be greater
Persuasive Poem:
ReplyDeleteC’mon, we've got to face reality;
After a while, school gains a lot of monotony.
Wouldn't it be great
If we could win this debate
And add more 3 day weekends to our schedule.
It'd add a little excitement to our lives every now and then
So we could relax in the mountains, or spend time with our kin.
The students would be rested, prepared for that big test
And they'd be coming back to class ready to do their very best.
Now it doesn't have to be every week (though that would be a lot of fun)
It would give kids a chance to play out in the beautiful Colorado sun.
You don't have to worry, homework will get done and grades will stay high
But for a couple extra Fridays, to school we will say “bye”.

Have you heard the word
ReplyDeleteA vacation to the beach would be preferred
We need to get out a rest in the sun
The stress has built up and we need some fun
The beach would be nice
Who cares about the price
The smell of salt in the air
An coconut milk with flair
Warm sun is the only alarm clock
And the dinging of bells at the dock
The peace of a rod and reel in hand
And a fish on the sand
The sight of reef waving in the current
Unlike the rough torrent at home
The regatta on the horizon
Sails flapping from the mizzen
A sense of unity between the family and happiness to share
Nothing but a trip would compare

ReplyDeleteHow could I have done it? I don’t even know!
ReplyDeleteI was framed for this misdeed, that’s got to show.
It wasn’t my fault; someone else is in the wrong.
When will you realize, I’ve been right all along?
It’s plain that I’m innocent, there’s no proof to convict.
Except maybe the bakers, but they always contradict.
And maybe the doorman, who watched and who waited,
But they didn’t see nothin’! It won’t need to be debated.
I swear it wasn't me, your witnesses are lying,
Keep searching for the person, for time they are buying.
The pedestrian was incorrect, in placing me there.
They must have been bought off, by the man with the bear.
On that subject, who knows if he's to be trusted?
His eyes are too shifty, his nose is all busted.
You've got to believe I could do no such thing
as this crime that on me you're pinning.

ReplyDeletePersuasive Poem-
ReplyDeleteI just want you to understand,
I'm not like a ship unmanned.
I control every part of my being,
you just choose what you're seeing.
You see the parts that make me seem
like I don't like being part of a team.
Why can't you open your eyes?
Let go of the binds and ties.
I beg you, please, see me as I am,
because I know you can.
Colorado is way too cold
ReplyDeleteIts warmer in California
Or so I've been told
Mom and Dad
listen to me
and understand
What I want most
Is a little vacation
a trip to the coast
how about Spring Break?
I won't even miss school
and it will be fun for goodness sake
relaxing days by the pool
or playing in the ocean
if we go it would be so cool
mom and dad
please understand
i want to go to California
-Baergen Schultz
Oh Man! I Lost A Bet.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I will admit it…I lost a bet
I need two dollars...I’m unfortunately in debt
So I beg of thee
Give me some money and here is my plea
I am a good girl
I will surely send you for a whirl
I will pay you back I swear
Trust me, I’ll be fair
Tell me a deadline
No way I couldn’t make it in time
If you want to, add a fine
I just wouldn’t decline
If you give me the money
We must be in love...will you be my honey
Now this is taking a turn for the best
I think I may have found my new love interest
I mean…you are kind
And always on my mind
Why have I just realized this?
I mean love just seems…so bliss
So forget the bet
I think I am set
Waking up and looking in the mirror
ReplyDeletewishing all your insecurities would disappear
Cover it up with hope you’ll pull it off
Looking at your closet
no daisy dukes or Uggs boots
no pencil skirts or skimpy shirts
no skinny jeans or expensive things
Be you and the best you ever
Better to be seen as yourself than to be discovered a fake
Why don’t you understand I’m doing my best?
ReplyDeleteI’m giving my all and as well for the rest
It does not exist; I left it with my last test
I wish I could tell you in song
But that song would be hours to long
I try with my best to your rules abide
And honest to God I have really tried
You don’t understand
All the pressure that under which I stand
Honoroll every year
4.5 GPA that’s all I hear
Well let me tell you just one little fact
I am not she and that can be tracked
I am my own person and of that I am proud
And to anyone who asks I’ll shout it out loud
I’m not 4.5 or honor roll sailor
Music and God they are my savior
So go ahead ask me who I am I’ should say a I’m a Music hailer
But please if you can just let me be Taylor
