Being in the middle is hard
I hate getting beat up by my big brother
And annoyed by my little brother
And always messed with
Sometimes my little brother
Messes up my room
Sometimes
My big brother tears up my posters
So I have to go to the store and buy another one.

When my mom goes out
My little and big brothers toture me.

I am Foggylogg with a long tail.
I see big birds with purple dots.
I fear lava with jello in it.
I hope one day I can be a fly eater

I pretend to be a monster
I say to them everyday I love you

I remember when I went to the circus it was when I was six years old. The circus was great I saw all kinds of animals and acts. My favorite of the circus was when I saw the elephant because I love the elephant and I love the part when I saw the woman on the rope she spin around on the rope her hair was flying in the air she was spinning fast and she did not even fall of the rope. I saw my favorite actor I ask her can I get her autograph she said yes. I win lots of games at the circus. I bought some cotton candy it was very good. I saw a clown and I saw lots of mime. I really liked the mime too. I was watching the mime about for an hour I like the part when the mime was walking down then stars I was really interested in the mime I took the mimes picture I ask the mime can he teach me how to walk down the stairs but he really was not walking down

Untitled (Hunter)

By Steve S., Cleveland School
That's Weird, Grandma

Once there was hunters who lived in a forest.  One time they has an argument about who’s gun was cooler, shoots good and how powerful it is.  A man named hunter said “the only way to settle this is by having a gun fight to see who’s gun is cooler, shoots good and how powerful it is!”  So they had the gun fight but all they were shooting was the trees, flowers, grass and everything that is nature.  But then after that ran out of Ammo it doesn’t matter what gun is cooler.  But the one person who had a lot of Ammo left was hunter.  He said “I have the most Ammo here now if you don’t want me to shoot you guys I suggest you admit my gun is more cooler, shoots good and powerful.”  Then the hunters admitted that hunter’s gun was cooler, shoots good, and powerful then he started saying “Yehaw, Yehaw.”  He shot three times and shot a hunter on his butt and he said “ow, ow, ow lets just say we never use a gun again.”  The end!
