I found a lamp. A dirty lamp.
I rubbed it to a shine.
A genie from the lamp said he
would grant a wish of mine.

I made a wish. A simple wish.
It practically came true.
I wished I had a million dollars
and a pickle too.

I got the million dollars,
but I really can’t say why
I never got the pickle.
I think I’m going to cry.

Because I want money to sent with B

Well hey Miss Go-Go won't you stop for a minute
Cause the song you dance to it got somethin' in it
There's a lotta things those long funny words can teach ya
Yeah but the words don't reach ya

But all you wanna do is dance dance dance yeah dance on

I never should have done it,

for now I’m stuck this way.

My phone must be
a lonely phone.
It often does things
on its own.

It likes to blink
and buzz and beep
to wake me up
when I’m asleep.

I sometimes find
it’s made a call
without me touching
it at all.

If it gets bored,
before too long,
it might decide
to play a song,

or maybe shoot
a video,
or send a tweet,
or watch a show,

or play a game,
or send a text.
I never know
what’s coming next.

Today I left
my phone at home.
While I was gone
it wrote this poem.

it made me lafe

My Brother’s Bug (from SOMETHING BIG HAS BEEN HERE)

My brother’s bug was green and plump,

It did not run, it could not jump,

It had no fur for it to shed,

It slept all night beneath his bed.

My brother’s bug had dainty feet,

It did not need a lot to eat,

It did not need a lot to drink,

It did not scream, it did not stink.

It always tried to be polite,

It did not scratch, it did not bite,

The only time it soiled the rug

Was when I squashed my brother’s bug.

I wasn’t doing anything;
just lying on my bed,
when my dictionary tumbled down
and smacked me on the head.

Then Harry Potter toppled off,
and Judy Moody too.
I almost got knocked out by
Wimpy Kid and Nancy Drew.

Then Fancy Nancy whacked me.
All those Goosebumps were intense;
they landed with A Series
of Unfortunate Events.

So now I’m in a pile of books.
It’s something of a shame.
This never should have happened;
I have just my shelf to blame.
I chose this one because it was funny.

The Silliest Teacher in School

BY DARREN SARDELLI

Our teacher gave detention

to the fountains in the hall.

She handed extra homework

to the artwork on the wall.

We saw her point a finger

at a banner and a sign.

She said their bad behavior

was completely out of line.

The principal approached her

and said, “What is all this fuss?

I heard you tried to punish

all the tires on a bus.

“You’ve made the teachers angry

by disrupting all their classes,

so if you want to keep this job,

you have to wear your glasses!”

I like this becuase it is really funny

Kitty Caught a Caterpillar – (from RIDE A PURPLE PELICAN)

Kitty caught a caterpillar,

Kitty caught a snail,

Kitty caught a turtle

By its tiny turtle tail,

Kitty caught a cricket

With a sticky bit of thread,

She tried to catch a bumblebee,

The bee caught her instead.
It mad me laf

Followin’ the trail on the old treasure map,
I came to the spot that said “Dig right here.”
And four feet down my spade struck wood
Just where the map said a chest would appear.
But carved in the side were written these words:
“A curse upon he who disturbs this gold.”
Signed, Morgan the Pirate, Scourge of the Seas.
I read these words and my blood ran cold.
So here I sit upon untold wealth
Tryin’ to figure which is worse:
How much do I need this gold?
And how much do I need this curse?

I picked this poem because I like fantasy.

Carpenter, carpenter, build us a house,

A sweet little house for a mouse and a spouse,

A mouse and a spouse and a family too,

We know that you can, and we hope that you do.

Build it of brick so it’s cozy and warm,

To keep us from harm in a cold winter storm.

As soon as you finish, we’ll pay you with cheese,

Carpenter, carpenter, build our house, please.
I chose this poem because it was very rhyming

Sick Day

From the book When the Teacher Isn't Looking

I’m feeling sick and getting worse.
I think I’d better see the nurse.
I’m sure I should go home today.
It could be fatal if I stay.
I’m nauseated, nearly ill.
I have a fever and a chill.
I have a cold. I have the flu.
I’m turning green and pink and blue.
I have the sweats. I have the shakes,
a stuffy nose, and bellyaches.
My knees are weak. My vision’s blurred.
My throat is sore. My voice is slurred.
I’m strewn with head lice, ticks, and mites.
I’m covered in mosquito bites.
I have a cough, a creak, a croak,
a reddish rash from poison oak,
a feeble head, a weakened heart.
I may just faint or fall apart.
I sprained my ankle, stubbed my toes,
and soon I’ll start to decompose.
And one more thing I have today
that makes me have to go away.
It’s just as bad as all the rest:
I also have a science test.

I chose this because it sounds like me.

My skin is kind of sort of brownish
Pinkish yellowish white.
My eyes are greyish blueish green,
But I'm told they look orange in the night.
My hair is reddish blondish brown,
But it's silver when it's wet.
And all the colors I am inside
Have not been invented yet.

I chose colors because he is describing his colors of what he looks like.

I tried to find a dinosaur.
I started in my yard.
I dug and dug for days and days.
The work was long and hard.

I dug through dirt and mud and muck.
I dug through rocks and soil.
My arms grew sore. My legs grew weak
from all the sweat and toil.

I shoveled tons of gravel out.
I moved a bunch of stones,
until, at last, to my surprise,
I found some fossil bones.

I put the bones together in
my bedroom on the floor.
When I was done, those bones had formed
a half a dinosaur.

My parents weren’t too happy when
I told them of my goal.
I found a half a dinosaur,
but then they found the hole.

--Kenn Nesbitt

Depends on if the judge is fair,
Depends how high the heels you wear,
Depends on if they count the hair,
Depends if they allow the chair.

I gazed upon a starless sky
I hoped again to see a star
wondering as time pass by
waiting and waiting afar

A ball of light billions of miles away
my inspiration was the light
the star that light up and stays
I see a a star's shinning might

The stars I wait as finally came
and one blasted in a burning energy
I guess most things are always the same
then Away I be

I liked this poem because it is about space and I like space

A centipede was thirsty,

But to satisfy its need,

It drank too much for it to hold—

And so the centipede.
