.3-nunlrf Through EXPERIENCE Mike becomes a PROJ Wishes There was a little girl who had a wish, And it wasn't for a fish! All day she would sit and say I wish a pony would come and stay. To her father she asked, Can I have a pony at last? His reply made her sigh, For a pony he said he would buy. But only he said, If you go straight to bed! So away she ran, Because she was happy with his Plan- Nicole Dye N , 5.44 . Look at the caterpillar. Cat I had a cat That always sat On my bed. She would purr When we'd pet her fur And stand on her head For a little cat She was fat And even wore a hat. She'd take a walk And to the birds did talk But always did come back. Missy Willis Snowman My snowman ran Into a lady On a winter day. She was made of snow So she did move slow And could not run away. They had some fun But could not run Before the sun came by When they were done She said Oh my And in a puddle did die. Lisa Matso
