The waves rose, then fell slowly,
into the morning mist,
In the water floating by,
There were no swimming fish,
The depth was deep, but still was shallow,
and shells were scattered around,
And though there were some ocean noises,
You would hear no sound,
This was a very lonely place,
One where no one liked to go,
And still this place lies by itself,
Silent and Alone.

Haikus
The bright fire rages,
It smokes and also destroys,
It burns through the night
The wind sings a song,
It wakes up the grass and trees,
Moves clouds across sky
The earthquake rumbles,
Hear it's deafening loud roar,
It is greatly feared
It smokes and also destroys,
It burns through the night
The wind sings a song,
It wakes up the grass and trees,
Moves clouds across sky
The earthquake rumbles,
Hear it's deafening loud roar,
It is greatly feared
Limericks
Forty cats and fifty-two dogs,
Went on a walk inside of a bog,
But when when they returned,
The cats finally learned,
Cats should never walk with dogs.
Once there was a stinky shoe,
He was a shoe that everyone knew,
He was big and fat,
And I mean just that,
He was a dumb shoe without a clue.

The Shark Who Sunk
Once upon a time there was a mom fish who had seven children. One day, the kids' mother went to go get some food. She locked the front door of the house and said, "Don't let any strangers into the house!"
"O.K. Mom," said her kids.
But while their mother was gone, the scheming shark would try to eat kids. He was very hungry.
When the mother was gone, the shark knocked at the door.
"Hello?" said one of the fish.
"Hello my dear children, your mother is home," said the shark.
"You are not our mother!" said the fish child, "Our mother doesn't smell like you! You stink!"
So the shark went to Wal-Mart and bought some perfume. He sprayed himself thoroughly and went back to the fishes house.
"Hello kids! Let your mother in!" said the shark.
"Sorry Mr. Shark, but I can see your teeth through the window!" said a fish, "We are much too smart for you!"
The shark swam away angrily. So he went to the store and got several pieces of pink bubblegum. He chewed them up and covered his sharp teeth with it. Then he went to the fish house.
"I'm home!" called the shark.
"Well, it smells nice, and there are no shark teeth. Shall we open the door?"
All the fish agreed and open the door. But they saw it was the shark and they ran and hid. One under the couch, two in the closet, one under the desk, two in a cabinet, and one in the toy box. But the shark found them and ate them. He ate six of the fish but could not find the youngest, who was in the toy box. The shark left and laid down to sleep. Their mother finally came home. She called for her children but couldn't find them. When she called the youngest he presently popped out of the toy box and said, "Here I am! The shark has eaten all the others!"
The mother fish wept over her children, but then had an idea. She swam to the shark's cave. She brought along her youngest child, a pair of scissors, and a needle and thread. She found the sleeping shark and cut his stomach. Out popped her six children! He had eaten them whole! Mrs. Fish filled up the shark's stomach with rocks and sewed his stomach shut again. They all went home. Later, when the shark woke up, he swam out of his cave. But the weight of the stones sunk him to the ocean floor and he died of starvation and a full stomach at the same time. All the sea creatures (other than the other sharks) were happy.
Don't be greedy!

The Foolish Sailor
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a foolish sailor. He owned an ugly horse who was very small, and had several bald patches. The sailor also had a son, who was very young, and did everything his father told him. The sailor decided to sell his horse in town for money for the winter. But on their journey, they met several judgmental people throughout the country.
On their way, hardly an hour into their trek, they passed a group of six girls going to a party.
"Look at those fools," one of them hissed, "Neither of them are even riding that horse!" The girls snickered and walked away.
The sailor instructed Finn (who was his son) to get up on the horse. The horse grumbled under the extra weight of the boy.
Later, they passed a group of Elderly United members who said, "Look at that rude young man, making his father walk while he rides that grumpy-looking horse! Children have no respect for their elders."
"Here, let me ride the horse," said the sailor.
A few hours later, they passed a group of women coming out of a weight watchers building.
"Look!" gasped one of them. "That poor boy is tired, yet his father is making him walk!"
So the boy was put back onto the horse.
A little while later, they passed a man who said, "Why do you wear your horse out like that? You could carry him as easily as he can carry you."
So the sailor tied the horse's legs to a pole and he and his obedient son carried the horse.
A crowd began to gather as they crossed a bridge. But the hooting of the crowd spooked the horse, and made him jump around, and all three fell off of the bridge. They spluttered around and almost drowned. The sailor was ashamed and angry because he had been so foolish.
If you try to please everyone, you won't please anyone.

Zorbon
My friend and I just landed on a planet while on a space ship trip to Frekiloni. But we went off course and landed on this planet Zorbon. The planet looks like a bag of moldy french fries covered in ranch dressing. The only reason I know the planet is Zorbon is because there is a sign that is a dinosaur in size that says: ZORBON. It is a ghastly planet filled with jagged rocks, there are craters like elevator shafts, spiky plants, and not to mention there aren't any McDonalds. The ground is a treacherous purple maze. The trees are like, huge blue q-tips and the four suns are maroon. The planet is as small as I can imagine, you can see the other side about a half mile off. I hope we get out of here!

Under the Rug
Two weeks passed and it happened again. Poor Mr. Johnson was about to go crazy. It was really hard on him. What was he going to do? He really didn't know what to do. There was something under the rug, but whenever he lifted it up, the bump disappeared. He saw the bump! There it was! He picked up his chair and smashed it, and it made a moaning noise. Then the bump slowly seemed to disappear. That was the last time Mr. Johnson would ever see the bump, he was free, free, free! But he never found out what the bulge in the rug was, and that was almost as bad as seeing it everyday. He wished for it to come back so he could see what it was. But it never did, and it never will.
