Cattle Drive
by james - 5th Grade

I had a cattle drive

when I wanted to take a dive

but then a stampede came upon me

I'm not sure if the one that squish me was a he.

I am not sure but I think I got a replace

I also have a reconstruction on my face

when I got to the store I sat down

and this lady looked at me with a frown.

Perty soon I think I got my job back

but my new partner told me to cut some slack

I yelled at him so loud

I'm not sure but I attracted a crowd.

I was doing another cattle drive in the open space

when I had to stop for a restroom place

when I was walking the cattle I saw a lizard

I'm not sure but he looked white as a blizzard.

So I picked it up and accidently threw it at the cattle

once they got up it sounded like a battle

when I was running they thought I looked like red

then I ran and my partner yelled we're dead.

We were running and running to the road

when I was running I tripped on a toad

the stampede squished me like gum

that's why I am dumb.

Mouthy Magpie

by Cassity - 6th grade

One day I saw a bird in the sky

it was flying way high

I felt like I was going to cry

so I asked a guy if he had a magpie.

He said no and asked if I wanted to buy a tie

I said no thanks and started to cry

on my way home I found my brother in bed with pink eye

and my sister crying because she had a sty in her eye.

So I had to lie to go outside

and there it was that beautiful magpie

when my mom came home she had started to cry

because of the lovely magpie up in the sky.

So one day I prayed to the sky

asking if I could meet that magpie

a day later I had seen that magpie one more time I hoped

that it would come down from the sky.

It came down and sat on my shoulder so I said hi

but it did not move so I sat it down and said hi

once more it looked at me with those wonderful eyes

I thought it was a sign, so after that I had became mine.

I loved that magpie so much and cared for it for so long

that one day magpie became very old

I knew that it was time so I had to say bye

right before it was going to die.
