Crooked Caribou

by Emily - 5th grade

When I wake up I hear the thing

runnin' around the broken tree

then I smell the mornin' dew

then it chases after me.

Then it runs back away

hopin' I will chase it all day

starin' back miles ran

now he makes me have to pay.

Now I see the crooked caribou

stoppin' now so I can see

try to catch him all day long

darn he ran after me.

Then I chase him once again

fully stops like a sloth sleeping

I get a rope and catch him sitting

then he starts fully weeping.

Now I take him as a pet

feelin' bad as a wreck

he stops his weeping once and for all

now he's not a pain in the neck.

Horse Biscuits

by Stori - 6th grade

The biscuits horses make are very delicious

they have a most wonderful taste

they're smothered in butter and salt

go ahead eat them there's no time to waste.

The horse has no oven

so he just bakes them in the sun

it takes a while

but just wait until they're done.

There might be some grass in those biscuits

although you never know

grass does have some nutrition

so you might even grow.

The biscuit ingredients are kind of gross

what's in them?

you really wouldn't want to know

it's not your ordinary gem.

Unless you like to eat dirt and rocks

there are other things I don't really want to mention

if you say them out loud

you might get detention.

Mad Cow

Miranda - 6th grade

A cow named Frances Nutter

was a bit of a nutty cow

purple polka-dotted skin

and a piercing on her brow.

Now Frances got real bored one day

so she climbed to the top of the barn

then she took out of her pocket

a ball of yellow yarn.

See, Frances had a brilliant plan

to teepee the big old place

then she realized she had got no hands

and shame had crossed her face.

So Frances had a dumb idea

to go ahead sky diving

she crashed into the tractor

and now it ain't too good for riding.

but now that she's gone, I must admit

I miss that Frances Nutter

she brought some real good stories

and some really ugly butter
