Mayhem Poets in the House
by Katie, Casey, and Natalie in Mrs. Bakur's 5th grade class

Their plan was to write it and show it.
Rappin' on the mic
with rhymes that we like,
It'll be a great time, we just know it!
Two Limericks
by Olivia R. and Julie H. in Mr. Taylor's 5th grade class
There once was a Martian from Mars
who liked to eat shiny red cars.
He ate a truck in a minute
with three people in it,
and then he flew back to the stars.

who found a remarkable fridge.
Inside was a pole
and a sack of black coal.
He gave it to the orphanage.
