Ms. Fox ~ Third Grade ~ November 27, 2001
Our group poem, as inspired by the words, "recess," "couch" and "woof."

I had a dog
who was sitting in the fog.
When my dog is sitting
I feel like spitting.

Here are student poems, inspired by our Poetry Workshop:

My Teeth
My mom always told me to be different every day.
I thought and thought and thought until I had a big display.
Then I realized that I could paint my teeth colors,
like maybe green, orange, red . . .
I know . . . yellow!
Everybody has white teeth,
so I'll have yellow.
But when my mom found out, she had a great fit.
The she called the dentist
and told him all about it
and screamed when she found out it was permanent!
Now here I am in my room,
90 now,
but I painted them when I was two!
by Delaney C.

The Basketball Championship
In Los Angeles, the Lakers
ate the bakers
for the basketball championship.
After the game, Shaquille O'Neal said,
"Those bakers sure tasted good.
I wonder how good the stuff in the store tasted.
Mmmm . . . . . "
by Max U.

The Old Shaggy Monster
Once I saw a monster
eating a lobster.
I knew he wasn't playing any games,
but I knew he had a lot of pains.
by Kyle F.

Mike's Bike
I have a friend named Mike.
He loves to ride his bike.
At the beach he likes to fish
for pike on his bike.
Mike eats pike with his bike.
Man, Mike likes his bike.
He even watches TV with his bike
and pet pike.
by Gregory S.

The Worst Day Ever
I got sticky tape stuck on my face
when my Mom was at the carwash and my dad was tied in lace
and my brother was staring at my face
and my dad was still trying to get out of that lace.
by Alison C.

One day I said "hello" to a mouse in my couch.
I said, "Hey mouse, why are you in my couch?"
He said, "If you were smart, like me, you would know it is MY couch."
I said, "It's in MY house, so it is MY couch."
The mouse said, "It's MY couch, because MY house is in your house."
So I had to give him the couch.
So now we sit in our car.
by Rachel K.

It was a windy day, and I got hit by pebbles.
Then a tornadoe came and more fell, then —
an elephant came, and more fell.
Finally it stopped.
by Alex C.

I went to a Pistons game.
They won by two.
by Daniel E.

Tom Brady saw a man named Slim Shady
and then he tripped over a big fat lady
and went into a city stall.
He fell from it and broke his jaw.
by Alex S.

Stinky Skunk
Stinky Skunk was the most
stinky skunk of all stinky skunks
and went to the Stinky Skunks Ball.
by Roman Y.

I always wonder about leather.
I think they're made from feathers.
I like to play Truth or Dare
even though I don't play fair.
There's thunder and it's raining feathers.
My best friend Heather is sooo clever. It's funny,
so many people say it's sunny.
by Nicole F.

The Crazy Rake
My rake takes and receives leaves
from my dress-up mess-up mother color.
Eat, treat, smile, pile,saw and draw
smashed, trashed,
There is mashed potatoes in with some smashed tomatoes
and a cat with Chinese flies
and a dog with cat teeth.
by Alex S.
