The Sad Porky

The Porky is sad no one wants to hug him.
He said, “Why don’t you want to hug me?”
The bunny said, “Maybe next time. I think I might have left the stove on.”
Then Porky felt so sad that when he cried his tears sounded like rain
splashing in puddles

The House

Come in if you dare. You’ll be in for a scare. Listen to the wind howling, then you see someone drowning. You scream for help, then you hear someone yelp. RUN! RUN! but then you’re done.
HA! Trick or Treat it is Just Halloween!

In the City

Vroom, Vroom

Strolling down the streets of Austin, Texas

Pat Pat Pat Pat Pat Pat

I hear the rhythm of our feet walking on the sidewalks

We look everywhere

we see buildings we see buses

we WISH we saw trains

We hear people talking

We smell the smell of TexMex food coming out of the restaurants

We feel the hard pavement under our feet

We talk and we have fun walking down the Austin streets

The Garden

I open the door, WHOOSH, a big gust of wind hits my face and makes my red hair blow up in

the air.

I see the garden with its green grass and wonderful flowers.

I step on the porch and walk down the steps.

I feel the green grass brush against my feet and I look at the large vine of flowers bursting

with their bright pink color.

I walk around. I play in the grass.

I see our lemon tree has little lemon flowers on it.

I see our lily pond with its bright green leaves.

As I look back at the garden, I remember how wonderful it is.

Swim Lessons

Brrrrrrrrrrr

I step into the icy, cold pool in my blue, red and black swimsuit.

SNAP! Goggles on.

Now, I have to get my whole body wet.

SPLASH!

At first I was easing in but now I am jumping in the pool.

I swim underwater…in the beautiful water.

I do butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle.

 

I am having so much fun I NEVER want to leave.

Midnight

Witching hour, pitch black, the moon is howling.
Windows closed, tight blinds pulled down,
Close the curtains and turn off the lights.
It´s time for the fright.

Lock the doors, turn on the alarm and doze off to bed.
Knock, knock.
Why is someone at the door?
The door creaks as I open it.
Wow! There is no one at the door.
I wonder who was knocking?
I’m just going to go back to bed.

Knock, knock. Creak.
Now who is at the door?
Don’t worry.
I’m tucked in tight.
Oh no, I didn’t close the front door!
