The Eagle

A Tiger who Wears a tie

Jesse - 4th grade

I saw a tiger

he was fancy

he wore a tie

it was antsy.

It flipped around

then fell off

oh my goodness

did I hear it cough?

It started raining

the tiger was cold

did I just see that?

he can fold?

I must be dreaming

I told a lie

the tiger got mad

we fought for the tie.

I think he's dead

I'm just guessing now

the tie just cried

what the heck, the tie's walking around.

Boy that was a good movie

it's too good to be true

Man why did I do that?

I yelled out boo.

I change my mind

that movie stunk

if it was in school

I already flunked.

Hamsters

Breann - 5th grade

The hamsters go round in their wheel

90 miles per hour

they knock each other off the wheel

and then they eat a flower.

They sleep in the day

and run at night

they get kranky when we wake them

and they start to fight.

They eat and eat and stuff their cheeks

and never ever stop

then they spit it out at us

and then they start to hop.

They run, sleep and eat

thats all they ever do

I'm sorry everybody

but now my poem is through!

*****

Pigs

Chase L - 6th grade

Pigs in the mud

very gooey mud

pigs in the sun

in the sun they look like Elmer Fudd.

Pigs love mud

they squeal and whine

its like a bath but funner

when their done they don't smell so fine.

Pigs are heavy

they love to eat corn

one weighs 400 lb

it was born with a horn.

pigs are smelly

they have a large odor

they even have gas

when they fart it sounds like a motor.

*******

Naturally free

Cassie - 8th grade

Nature is abundant

though freedom of it is not.

We sit at the campfire

thinking a precious thought.

We think of cattle herding

and home cooked meals

our thoughts are disrupted

by the lil' hawks' squeals.

We miss our fluffy beds.

and our loving wives.

The men still thinking of their children

and are settling with the cowboy lives.

They think back to their childhood

of riding horse and training steer.

Out in the wide open fields,

without a single fear.

We're finishing the round-up,

as evening is slowly coming.

So put on your hats

cause it bout time we be leaving.

Now we saddle up our horses,

getting ready for the ride home

we can't wait to see our family

and till once again...we roam.
