Salmon Fur

by Farrah - 5th Grade

I was walking down the lake,

when the water rippled

then I saw a furry salmon

I think he was crippled.

I asked him why he looked weird

he said, "I am just furry."

I had so many more questions,

but he said he was in a hurry.

The Armpit Hairs on a Stinkbug

by Faith - 5th grade

I picked up a big rock and found a stinkbug,

he was underneath it.

He lifted his arm and waved hi,

WOW, he has hairy armpits.

Then I said, "Please shave your pits."

So he went to get his razor and cream.

Then he asked me to shave his pits, EWW gross

then I began to scream.

My Native Land

by Joanne - 7th grade

The eagles soar above us,

in the clear blue air,

I love being Native

there's something I want to share.

I know my land is free

it's native pride and so,

sometimes people die

but our pride will show.

Look at the green grass,

and our Mother Earth

I respect my Natives

its something that's all worth.

I love my Native land

it will always be ours

respect my precious Natives

I wish upon a star.

Critter Cooties

by Gregory - 7th grade

It was a time in my life

I will never forget

I'm not quite sure

how it all happened yet.

A mystery to me

except for the fact

I know for certain

I don't want them back.

It was a slow realization

at first I did not see

those creepy crawly critter cooties

creeping and crawling on me.

First there was an itch

followed by a scratch

then a creepy crawly feeling

nothing else could match.

The creepy crawly critter cooties

didn't take long before

they had me

rolling on the floor.

Now I'm in a heck of a fix

scratching every crack and cranny

every inch of my skin

right down to my fanny.

Those creepy crawly critter cooties

are making a feast of me

they are munching and crunching

with a great deal of glee.

The creep crawly critter cooties don't know

a solution is at hand

the long legged licking lizard

is basking in the sand.

The long legged licking lizard

is as hungry as can be

with a flick and a lick

the creepy crawly critter cooties are off of me.

Sioux Eyes

by Taleigha - 8th grade

Beautiful Sioux eyes

staring me in my face

she points in the direction

so I may find my place.

Beautiful Sioux Eyes

looking there afar

she calls my name

and points at the North Star.

Beautiful Sioux eyes

they're black and brown

she came up with the name Poplar

which is now my town.

Beautiful Sioux Eyes

she twinkles like a star

she knows where your heading

she knows where you are.

Beautiful Sioux eyes

she watches me as I walk

she looks in to my eyes

and starts to talk.

Beautiful Sioux eyes

she taught me everything I know

she leaves and returns to the skys

I just stand there watching as away she goes.

Gopher Grime

by Jaylen

As gopher went crawling down his hole on day

he spotted gopher grime

he knew it was an ooze but he couldn't get it right

then he thought of a cigarette, the smokers crime.

He said to himself if he tried to figure this out

he didn't have the mind, he needed more time.

then he figured it out, he said to himself

"I know what it is it's an ugly slime."

He tried to get rid of it

but when he picked it up it smelled like lemon lime

so he at it and got sick, the Tylenol cost ten cents

when Aperson went by he said, "Can you spare me a dime?'

When the person answered the gopher

the person said, "You just like to rhyme"

the gopher got a dime and said to

the person, "I'm sorry, but I ate gopher grime."

Man I can't believe that the slime

really looks like Frankenstein

but this slime was probably created

by the famous Albert Einstein.
