One Bright Day

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,
One was blind and the other couldn't, see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
A paralysed donkey passing by,
Kicked the blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to arrest the two dead boys,
If you don't believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!

Rachel's poem

my mom was fat
imagine that! she
changed each week
losing 5 pounds was
very bleak. she would
take a jog but rolled like
a log. her power jog would be a flop
her butt flap and her feet would
sing, so she went on to try it "the krispy kreme diet!"
but her butt would hurt andout she would blurt "I'm getting phatter each day!"
