My History

by Makenna - 3rd grade

We came from Switzerland over sea

we got here from the charming Pauly

we used to live in Germany

then we went on a journey.

My mom came from France

when she got here she did a funny dance.

When she got off the boat from England

did you know she started tingland?

She went by wagon

then she saw a dragon

she went to live in Grass Range

then she met my great, great Granddad who was strange.

My great, great Granddad came from Germany

I bet he was crazy because my dad is in his family

that's all i have to say

only for this day.

My Ancestors

by Carissa - 5th grade

My ancestors first came from Germany

they came over by boat

one of them hurt their knee

they came over to the Atlantic Ocean coast.

they traveled up into Montana you see

on my Grandpa's side his grandfather set up a homestead

some of the pieces are still there told

he was the reason they had bread.

I don't know too much about my Dad

I think some of his family came from Germany

I wonder if any of his ancestors where lads

I think they had great harmony.

My Grandma's history is a mystery to me

all I know is that some of her family came from Wisconsin

I should ask her where she came from, gee

I should tell her I'm ready to write with paper and pen.

Jumping Jack Rabbits

by Tobia Dawn - 9th Grade

Jumping jack rabbits

through the meadow they go

running so fast

just like a muley doe.

When you go out to see

you find them with a spot light

just hopping along

in the plain dark night.

You grab your 22

and get ready to shoot

boom, you missed

and then you hear a hoot.

Oh! There goes another one

ready get your gun

yeah we got it

now our work here is done.

Brandon, go and get it

hurry before it gets cold

Dad honk the horn

to see if Brandon can hold.

As he honks the horn

the jumping jack hops up in fear

Brandon Catch it

before you fall on your rear.

So, that night as we laugh

we head home to go to sleep

as we lay on our beds there's no sound

not even a peep.

So, here's a hint

when you make it a habit

shooting and shooting

make you sure don't scream Jumping jack rabbit.

Crunchy Cowpies

by Jeremy - 11 grade

The mornin' was crisp and the ground was frosted

out of the bunkhouse I came,

I started for the corral caught my ol' cabialo

and stroked the horse's mane.

The cows were calvin' a lot this month

it was time for shifts to change

Ol' Joe was yawnin' softly

for I knew he had a long night on the range.

While Joe was headin' back to the ranch

watch out for the crunchy cowpies he yelled back to me,

they'll make your horse wanna bust up on ya

and his jump'll make you wanna pee!!

Whiskers on a Rattlesnake's Chin

by Joe - 12th grade

The whiskers on a rattlesnakes chin

are long curled and poky

I heard this story from a good ol' boy

I swear he was an Okie.

Back in the 60's

the man slowly began

was my very first encounter

with a snake I named Chan.

I was sitting watch in the Ozarks

protecting the herd from lice

when out of no where showed up Chan

I think I wet myself twice.

As I shook and squealed

chan slithered in

I took two stares

and swore that snake had whiskers on his chin.
