HOW ICE-CREAM CAME INTO EXISTENCE Deep in the woods a coyote lost its howl, a man wandered away from his village to find food and saw the coyote, the coyote asked the man for help and the man said yes and got a shovel and dug a hole and found the howl and returned into the coyote' throat and the coyote gave the man a gift, called ice-cream Sunday, July 03, 2005
HOW TOMATOES WERE CREATED A long time ago tomatoes didn't exist. One day Neptune was angry so there were a lot of waves. The waves went so high up, they broke pieces off the planet Mars. Those pieces fell onto the ground and got buried. A few months later these pieces from Mars grew into red edible balls called tomatoes.

During the end of the game Venus hypnotized Lindsay Davenport with the love of poetry.

SILAS Silas, his name is red, like apples and strawberries, his name is like sugar, it's like roses growing out of green grass and butterflies with cool patterns. His name is valuable as gold, tall as a mountain, beautiful as a rainbow. The name is like a blanket wrapping around you, it's appealing as ice cream, like the fall. It's like the world all around you, I'd call it one of the best names. Silas. Wednesday, May 25, 2005
WHY THE SNAKE DOESN'T HAVE LEGS Snakes used to be sea creatures with a lot of legs, then Neptune created a tsunami, so powerful, it washed away all the snakes' legs and the snakes landed on the land and the snakes still live the same way, on the land with NO legs. HOW OCTOPUSES GOT THEIR INK Octopuses did not have ink, but one day Bacchus spilled wine on all the octopuses, and Neptune was excited and the waves were strong, so strong they blew the wine into all the octopuses and the wine looked like ink. Whenever the octopus is in danger, wine comes out, but people call it ink. HOW DOGS GOT TAILS A long time ago dogs did not have tails, one day a dog sat on a branch, then the branch got stuck. A week later the stick became a part of the dogs body and got softer and that happenned to all the other dogs too. Monday, May 16, 2005

HOW THE ICARIAN SEA GOT ITS NAME When Dedalus and Icarus were trying to escape from Minos, Minos knew what they were up to, Venus, the god of love helped him and told him what to do, so when Dedalus and Icarus were flying, Minos threw a golden apple and Icarus chased the apple into sea and drowned, then Dedalus named the sea after his son. HOW CONTINENTS FORMED About 1 million years ago, the earth was one piece but one day Zeus, the god of sky, got angry at someone. He threw his thunderbolts as hard as he could but always missed that person and he hit the earth instead, so hard, there was a crack in the earth, he kept on doing that and the pieces of earth floated away to different parts of the earth. Today, those pieces of land are in the same place and we call them continents. Saturday, May 14, 2005
Have you seen a fox alive and made of gold? That's pretty outlandish. What about a pillow made out of lemonade for the fox, who's very smart, really smart, not like a normal fox, a fox like lemonade made of gold, not like a pillow but smart and outlandish. The fox is too outlandish, very smart, smarter than a human, stronger than a pillow. I wouldn't call it a fox. I'd call it gold, 1,000 times better than lemonade. I like lemonade but it isn't as outlandish as a fox made of gold, a fox that is smart, a fox comfy as a pillow, stronger than a pillow. Not like lemonade always weak, but a gold fox. Isn't that outlandish? The fox is smart so always trust a fox made of gold. It is gold unlike a pillow very smart not lemonade very outlandish a gold fox. Trust me, there is a fox made out of gold. Of course it's outlandish, like a fancy pillow. It's not like lemonade but that fox is smart. Sunday, May 08, 2005
I AM A BOUNCY BALL I am a bouncy ball who's had a lot of adventures and has been in many hands. I'm made of rubber and have a lot of colors on me. Whenever somebody drops me I will always bounce back into their hands. One thing for sure, I'm glad I am not afraid of heights! Moms are like rainbows, especially mine. They are remarkable, amazing and they remind me of an ice-cream store but my mom makes me think of an ice cream store that is bigger than earth and my mom is the sunshine, always on the bright side. She is like a shield never letting me be bored. Best of all she is like a little heart always liking you. Sunday, May 01, 2005
Eel Eel, oh eel, how did you get that long, thin body? Was there a pencil and somebody transformed the pencil into you? How can you move so quick? Is it because you're scared of something and can't keep still? Tell me your secrets and I will tell you some of mine. Trust me, eel. The Lamp The rusty lamp looks good even though it's all black. It's bumpy and rough and it feels good, for me at least. It doesn't work, but I don't care. I just love this rusty, black, bumpy lamp. Someday you will understand. Friday, February 04, 2005
CATCHING THE DEER Something is collosal It is not the stain of ink Nor the water in the giant fountain However, it is not vile It is a deer Its skin is kind of mahogany But the nose is not mahogany The deer's body is collosal I can see the deer On my hand is a lot of ink It looks too vile All I do is wash off in the fountain The deer will drink out of the fountain A part of it is mahogany Not a bit vile But very collosal I've got off the ink Now it's time to get the deer I will find the deer It is not near the fountain And will stay away from ink The log is mahogany It is not collosal I do not want to be vile The deer is not vile I know where I can find that deer The deer is collosal And I know it is not near the fountain The log is really mahogany So I can not use ink I will wait for the deer near the log and hide the ink Hopefully that is not vile The skin is so mahogany Wait, I've caught the deer Let it go and drink in the fountain The deer sure is collosal That deer was collosal now with no ink I will leave the fountain that is not vile I like that deer, the skin so mahogany.

I AM A DRUM I am a drum and you are very lucky you are not me. At least every day somebody takes these big sticks and pounds on me, it sounds good but feels horrible, there are also these slippery things with five things sticking out, I think you call them hants. Worst of all I did not do anything bad and they still punish me for no reason! Some people put paper on me and keep me in cold basements. But my dad (Mr. Bass Drum) always says life if not fair, well my dad sure is right about that. Startling sticks! I am getting punished again. Ow! Sunday, January 30, 2005
NORTH AMERICAN CITIES We got to Seattle, reminds me of seagulls, on our way to Portland, when I get shipped to San Jose in a cathedral reminds me of San Diego missions, when I go to Phoenix, the bird in Harry Potter. I fly to Birmingham (it reminds me of burning ham) straight to St. Louis and back to my house! HOW RHINOS GOT HORNS One day a rhino was digging and found a tooth. It slipped out of his mouth and it got stuck on his head.. The same thing happened for a century and that's why all rhinos have horns. ELK? Elk, elk, how did you get antlers? Did you get it because you fell and ants glued twigs together and put them on you? Where did you get such a black nose? Is it because you were picking berries and one got stuck? How did you get thick fur? Did so much people hunt you and their hair is on you? How did all these things happen to you? What did you say? Hello? Wednesday, January 26, 2005
I AM A PAINTBRUSH I am a paintbrush. You can tell I have not taken a bath. There are blue stains of paint. I can not even see my self. People take and slap me on something hard. That gets the paint off me. I've just got a bath and I am clean. What? What is that person doing? Yikes, dipping me in something pink. Those girl paintbrushes are going to like me I guess.

HOW DANCING WAS INVENTED A man was riding his horse and took a break. The horse stepped on the man, the man was jumping and making weird moves. Most people saw it and decided to do it too and that is called dancing. Thursday, January 20, 2005
I AM A PIKA I am a pika. People call me an endangered species. I live in peace, well not that peaceful especially ermines, foxes and other animals. I always get nearly killed but I don't. Oh! a fox: they are very obnoxious. My relatives are captured by people where people stare at them. I've almost got captured. These people call me a rock rabbit and cony. Wait there are people right in front of me. What am I doing in this prison. I can't get out. I see a flying machine. I can't believe it. My ears hurt. Tuesday, January 18, 2005

PRAISE FOR MUSIC I listen to the sound of piano like the humming of the bird that makes me play duets with my relatives me playing the trumpet shiny with a nice sound while drums are beating like thunder with my friend playing a flute creating a big musical event which relaxes me but when I finish I turn the t.v. on and hear a song called "Summertime" and while I listen I htink I am in another world but my dad's cellphone rings into a nice melody, later I drive to a store and listen to guitar and sing along, pretty soon I remember listening to Miles Davis and fall asleep and the music ends.

THE CLOUDS The hotel is humongous as high as clouds the clouds are not small nor yellow with a picture of blueberries. They are pink but they still are not weird like blue string wrapped around it with people on top. Nobody is jumping on them. There is only a window next door in the hotel and light pink with yellow light on this rainy day. Monday, January 03, 2005
When I was on a stroll I met Gollum. Gollum said the aunts are turning into ginats and the cats are small as ants. Can you fix my vacuum cleaner? I say. He says, What a nice hat you have and I am on the moon. Me, the grass turned purple, the sky turned into water and is falling on us. Gollum, I am swimming on the sky and you are sinking in the sky and there is no such thing as grass. Anyway I am still on the moon. I say, my skin turned into water and the grass turned pink. Gollum says i am still on the moon. I say, nice ring, he says do not steal my precious and jumps on the the moon and says I am on earth and I never see Gollum again. |
