MY PET MONSTER Do you know why I am so happy today? It is because I am getting my pet Brontosaurus today at the pet shop in Scotia Square. He is ninety-five feet high and weighs fifty tons. The only trouble is he is so big, and it takes so much food to feed him! I have three friends that live down the street. Their names are Danny, Peter, and Philippe. Danny has a pet dinosaur, Peter has a pet tyrannosaurus, and Philippe has a pet pterodactyl. So my pet Brontosaurus sure does have a lot of friends. I am going to have many problems with my Brontosaurus. Such a problem was trying to get a collar for him. It took two weeks for the collar to be made to fit around his neck. Then I had a terrible time getting him in city hall to get him registered. He almost knocked the whole building down. Then the time came when I had to keep Bronto in the house. It was a very hard task and Bronto was very sad. It was very difficult to domesticate him. But he soon died of hurt feelings. It almost broke my heart when he died; now I don ' t have my little Bronto. David Linton, P. 6 FLOWERS Some flowers have a beautiful scent; When others do not, you prefer to have went ! Marni Berall, P. 5 SUN The sun. Bright, strong, brilliant, Full of vitality, Warm and bright, A gift for growing In bright yellow fingers, Reaching out with laughter and life. Lisa Steinberg, P. 6 TOYS Toys are just a pile of junk; You play with them once and then you are sunk. Fools go and buy them like you and me. They don ' t work at all as they do on TV. You play with them once, and they break right away. You take them back and they say, Go away ! Toys are bad, they are just a sin, So if you find one, throw it in the garbage bin. Roderick Ruhr, P. 6 LOOK AT SIX EGGS Look at six eggs in a mockingbird ' s nest. Listen to six mockingbirds Flinging follies of 0-be-joyful Over the marshes and uplands. Look at songs hidden in eggs Rajeev Khokhar, P. 4

Elizabeth Baxter, P. 2 SPACE In space I would float all about. And breathe in and out; From earth space looks small; But really the biggest thing of all. Laurent LePierres, P. 3 THE WHITE THREAD Across the sky A silver needle strings A slowly disappearing white thread. And by and by. Another needle sews the sky. Christopher Caines, P. 4 THE AIRPLANE An airplane rushes through the air, High in the sky, without taking a care. It is a huge heavy iron bird. Making the loudest noise I have ever heard, I wonder how such a big thing can fly ; It doesn ' t flap its wings, and I don ' t know why. Laurent Le Pierres, P. 3 WIND 0 wind, you make me cold; Are you young or are you old? Are you a beast of field or tree? Or just a little stronger than ms? Oh wind, a-blowing all day long; Oh wind, that sings so loud a song Lisa Risley, P. 3
