Once upon a time there were people living in the jungle called Jungus. They made their houses out of grass. The children love to climb. Their village was very peaceful. Until Americans came and started tearing the village up for their own goods. The Jungus warriors took out their weapons and the Americans took guns. Then the warriors dropped their weapons. “Who has sent you here?” said one of the warriors. President Bush! Said one of the Americans. “We are his soldiers.” said another one. So some of the warriors went to president Bush, and some stayed. In the white house they saw President Bush! The other warriors snatched the guns out the soldiers hands and then the soldiers ran away because they had no weapons. Back at the white house the other warriors were thinking up a plan. They went to the Bush’s office. They saw a paper. They picked it up. The paper said that President Bush was going to blow up the Jungu Village. Then the Jungu warriors ripped the reminder up and threw it in the garbage. Since President Bush was busy with other stuff he forgot about blowing up the village. The Jungus started to rebuild the village when they were finished. It was a peaceful village once again.

The moment when I was most proud of myself was when I won 1st place in the school spelling bee when I was in 3rd grade. Ricky got 2nd place. I was hoping I would get my favorite word in the world (nimbostratus), and I did. The lady who told us the words said, “I’m sorry Audrey, you got so far. Spell nimbostratus.” I shocked the audience by saying, “YES! Then spelling it super-fast. “N-I-M-B-O-S-T-R-A-T-U-S!” A few minutes later it was only me and Ricky. We got so far that they had to use the dictionary for the words! Finally, I won on physician and intrigue.

Oh my god
I found my sister’s friend.
I’m holding
my girlfriends hand.
“Oh my.”
My friend said, “I can see a dead man’s head.”
I see a blond woman and she is coming.
I can hear
a clowns laughter, and he is fatter.
WE are
At a new years eve party
And we are
Drinking Bacardi.
The countdown is just getting started
and my friend is having a ball.

Mr.T is a different man. Oddly it is not type of good. He has a problem. You see he thinks…he thinks he is an army sergeant. He always carries around this little red whistle sounds like there is a girl screaming. When he blows it, wolves howl and dogs bark.
This all started when Mr.T was rejected from the army. They said he was useless. Right now he was at a restaurant.
“Useless. Can you believe it! They called me useless!”
“Honey, honey wake up! You were dreaming of your rejection day!”
“Can you believe it they said NO! I DON’T BELIEVE IT! NO NO NO!
“Stop it James; you are embarrassing me!” his wife said
“Are you commanding me?” he said
“Yes I am” his wife said.
“Do you know what this reminds me of? The commandant. I could have been if they let me join the Army. Right now I could be saying ‘attention!’ Not for an appetizer I like a caviar and linguini!”
“So you do like linguini!” his wife said.
“That is not the point right now honey”
“Wait last time I had to get fried chicken instead of coming to Luigis. You better explain yourself now!”
“Fine I only chose fried chicken because they were showing the game. But I have to admit that fried chicken with what they call hot sauce,”
“What do I care about hot sauce. I care about being at Harold’s Fried Chicken in a $350 dollar dress!”
“I thought you said that dress was a gift.”
“Oh honey that’s not the point now. I love you.”
“No don’t change the…”
“I said I love you.”
“Oh I love you to…”
