My contribution to my book

Thanks to all who helped me out with my book. Those were some pretty fantastic poems. I thought I'd share the ones that I put in there as well.


Leonard's Spaceship

Leonard found a spaceship
It was out in his backyard
He tried to tell his mom and dad
And caught them quite offguard

"I promise you its out there!
I rode it to the moon.
A robot out there greeted me
As Captain Blabberboon

He showed me all the things up there
Like craters and moondust
It wasn't what I thought it'd be
Green men, I thought, a must

Bored with the moon we rode back home
My robot friend and me
I'd like for you to meet him
'Cause he's out beside the tree."

His parents looked in disbelief,
But saw something outside.
The robot waved and greeted them
His parents ran to hide.

"Don't be scared, he isn't mean
His face just looks that way.
He cared for me while on the moon,
and got me back okay."

"We're sorry that we doubted you."
His father said to him
"We didn't think you told the truth
But we were wrong again."

"Ah ha!", he cried, "You doubted me,
I did not tell a lie."
This goes to show a robot
Is a worthy alibi.


Cars, A haiku

Little boys like cars
Driving everyplace they can
Up their mother's leg


Tractors, A haiku

Tractors are my firiend
They dig and pour all day
Someday I'll drive one


Girls Are Weird

Why do girls like dressing up?
Why do girls like saying 'yup'?

Girls are weird.

Why do girls stay up all night
talking 'bout the boys they like?

Girls are weird.

Why don't girls like playing war
or playing with an apple core?

Girls are weird.

Why do girls like kissing boys?
I would rather play with toys.

Girls are weird!


Vegatables

As you can see
I hate broccolli
Greenbeans make me sick.

Carrots are gross
Turnips can't boast
Celery makes me go "ick!"

Mom makes me eat
Her "vegatable treat"
I'd rather go chew on a stick.

What can I do
When Mom makes me chew?
Tell her I'm as full as a tick.


Well, there they are.

Leonard's Spaceship is my favorite.

Can I Graduate.....NOW?

I don't think it's a good sign when you look at you're clock and think, "Oh good, it's only 3:35am. I thought it was 4:35am. I have still have 5 more hours to work."

2 more weeks of classes...

3 more weeks 'til graduation...

You Could Be Famous!

Hey folks I need your help. I'm making a book and putting poems in it about little boys doing little boy things like finding spaceships or dinosaurs, or about cowboys or their dogs. If you would like to help me out just comment your poem in the comment place. Haha. Really, I need them as soon as possible. The book is due Tuesday. I'm keeping true to form and waiting until the last second to do things. When I'm finished with the book I'll post pictures and poems and such from it. Who knows maybe I'll publish it and become famous. It could happen.

Lahaim!

Tonight, I attended a Jewish seder. Because I'm an RA, they have the programs that they encourage us to go to because if we don't no one else will show up.

Not being Jewish, this was a shpogel nei** experience for me. I'm guessing the man who was talking was a Rabbi. (I came in late, so I'm not sure) Tyisha and I sat there as he was beginning (we weren't that late) the explanation. Apparently, they start off the dinner with 4 glasses of wine. That's a lot of wine. We didn't have wine. We had sparkling grape juice. It was ta'am**. Then they proceed to eat parsley dipped in salt water, matzah bread, horseradish, honey-apple-nut stuff, an egg dipped in salt water. They sprinkle "wine" on their plate and then drink some more of it. There is a lot of talking that everyone does, but I can't remember it. The only thing that was crossing my mind was how much wine goes into a person during one of these seders. By the end of an original seder, I can't imagine how someone could still be sober. I was thinking how it would be i to watch one because at the end everyone yells enthusiatically "Lo Dayyenu!" about 12 times and they have at least 4 glasses of wine in them. I was imagining the bar scene in Fiddler on the Roof where everyone is drunk and singing. I think it would just be interesting to watch.

Anyway, after the festivities we had a feast. The food was tsegait zich in moyl**. All the food was kosher so no one was a traifnyak**. We had chicken, broccoli, a hashbrown-egg thing, what I think was matzah ball soup, roastbeef, fruit, dark chocolate, and chocolate mousse. I ate until I was kasokeh**. It was a good time. I learned something new about a different culture, which is always good to learn, and I had a good time about it. Azoy vert dos kichel tzekrochen.**




**
shpogel nei - brand new
ta'am - taste, flavor; good taste
tsegait zich in moyl - it melts in the mouth, delicious, yummy-yummy
traifnyak - despicable person; on who eats non-kosher food
kasokeh - cross-eyed
azoy vert dos kichel tzekrochen - and that's how the cookie crumbles
