Once upon a time there was a couple. They jogged up the road. They are going for a jog so they could loose weight. It is raining. They lost a lot of weight. They ran 30 miles. They play tennis. They play basketball.  And they played all the sports except football.

Ode to Hoodies

By Emily G., Rutherford Sayre Words@Play Program
Poems Songs That's Weird, Grandma

Oh, Hoodies,
I feel at home in you.
You provide me with protection from cameras
Making me mysterious
Helping me stand in corners awkwardly.
You let me fit in with Darius, Blake, and Matthew.
When I wear your comforting hood
I don’t have to do anything to my hair
I love you my hoodie.  You are so not lame.
