I want to live the life of a farmer.

I want to watch a mother cow lick her new calf clean.

I want to feel the rain on my skin.

I want to have the wind blow in my hair.

I want to make money and feel awesome doing it.

I want to be my own boss.

I want to milk life for all it's worth.

I want to be able to feed people with things I grew myself.

I want to do something different every day.

I want to struggle, and fight, and yet struggle again, only to come out stronger than ever.

And whoever tells me I am crazy to want to do this can take a hike, because this is the way I want to live.

The world is a stage which I must perform upon day and night. Even though this play can be sad it also can be very glad.

by Evelyn Kilbey

 

 

the grass is in which we walk

the sky is in which we fly

the mountain is in which we climb

the sea is in which we swim

these are the things that makes the world our world

by mandy breene

 

 

Life is all about fame and money

All Pooh is worried about is getting his honey

And while some people like friends, others like solitude

some of them go crazy and have a strange attitude

People like me go "Hey dude, what'd you have for breakfast?"

~Lincoln / Mandy~

 

 

Music is more than just notes on a piece of paper

It's a way of life (Lincoln's life)

it comes in many flavors

like chocolate and grape flavored suckers

it's like a gobstopper that never disappears

Music is in everyone's life

and it's pretty much almost impossible to get rid of it.

~Lincoln / Mandy~

 

 

There are many types of paper in the world

there's toilet paper, paper towels, typing paper

pink, blue, and purple, and tissue paper

While many of their uses are unknown

we use paper everyday~

~Lincoln / Mandy~

 

 

You kick a ball around

you run in circles

ou hit a ball with a bat

or your hand or with a club

no matter how it is

these require just more than thinking

but a positive and awesomeful attitude

teamwork does not have an "I" in it

but has the letters needed to spell "We"

~Lincoln / Mandy~

Anyone who says taking candy from a baby has never tried it.-Anonymous

 

 

Las Vegas means "lost wages" in Spanish.-Brittany

 

 

 

My penguin likes to party

in his black tuxedo

but when he goes swimming

he wears nothing but a speedo

Jessica

 

Jessica likes funny pics

and Haley does too

They enjoy laughing their guts out

as I like to do

There was a moose

who drank some juice

he had bad gas

came out his cheeks

it really stunk

smelled like a skunk

i sounded really loose.

~Link~

 

There once was a bear named Pooh

Who dripped honey in his shoe

To get the stuff out he tried

Until he broke down and cried

So his tears dripped in there, too.-Brittany

 

My rabbit likes to dance

in her little blue dress

but when it comes to eating grass

she eats more than all the rest-Brittany

 

Halfway down

I can see the fields

I can feel the clouds grazing my legs

I can taste the rush of falling down

and even though I am very scared

I know I am okay

because I'm not falling from the sky

because I am not going to die

but because I am falling in love with you-Brittany

 

 

I wished upon a shooting star

That you would see the goodness in my heart

And come to want to know me

I wished upon a shooting star

That I could navigate the road to your heart

And for us to have something that is a work of art

Something that is meant to be-Brittany

 

A smile can change somebody's day

They can make their life in their own way.

Life is fun

Like toy guns;

If not careful, you can get hurt.

~Lincoln, Kayla, Mandy~

 

Some want money some want fame

But all I want is to play a game

Some like it hot some like it cold

All I want is to grow old

Some want chicken some want beef

All I want is fries

Everyone is so wanting

Why am I so unwanted? Jessica and Haley

 

Who am I?

I listen to screaming metal,

I bang my foot on the drum pedal,

My cat's name is Wilbur,

He spits up his fur,

I wear glasses but I want contacts,

I like to text.

If I had a phone.

Who am I?

I am Lincoln.

 

 

Smart

There are many ways to be smart

Some are smart with their minds

Others with their actions

But everyone is smart in some way!

~Mandy~

 

 

 

Ways

There are ways and there are WAYS

Everyone has there own way

Lincoln’s way is through music

Brittany’s through writing

Jessica’s through dancing

Haley’s way is sports

It doesn’t matter what it is

Just do it!!

~MAndy~

 

 

Popularity

People think its the way of life

I think it’s a way of coping

They need something to do

It’s not what you think of people

It’s what they think of them-selves!!

~Mandy~

 

 

We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them.

We say we love trees, yet we cut them down.

And some people still wonder why some are afraid

when they are told they are loved.-Anonymous
