THE BLUEBIRD There was a little bluebird sitting in a tree. He was singing a song, and that song was meant for me. The sky began to darken and it was getting late, So off the bluebird went To find his little mate. ' Ann Perkins, Grade 3 A SUNNY DAY The sun is as bright as bright can be, If you look at it you can not see.- It shines so bright on a sunny day, And then maybe the clouds get in its way. Joyce Abrahamson, Grade 5 AFTER SCHOOL CONVERSATION It was about five o'clock Friday night. The schoolroom was quiet when all at once a desk top started to rise. Out jumped Skinny Ruler. He at once began to ring a bell. All the other desk tops began to rise also. Erasers, pencils, crayons, books and rulers all came up to Skinny in single file. Q Skinny began to talk.. WSay, you know I think we ought to do something about the way we're being treated.H MSO do I,H said Scratchy Pen. WJust the other day I was filled with ink and I fell off of the desk. My owner didn't even clean me upin ' WThe same goes for men, exclaimed Reddy Pencil. HI was resting peacefully the other day and all at once I was taken out if the desk. My owner started to bite me to pieces. Oh, how it urtln nYou known, said Johnny Book, Hjust because the boy who owns me doesn't like Latin, he puts mustaches on the pictures and scribbles all over me.n Nwelln, replied Softy Eraser, HI have nothing to complain about but you should see the desk I live in.
