Mrs. Thiem once saw
an orphan from Tokyo
come up to her
She sneezed and said
"Go away or I'll stupify you."

by Karla F.


Mrs. Thiem went to Tokyo
and adoped an orphan
It's like she wanted to stupify the class
Just as the kid that sneezed 
and covered the girl next to him with bugers did
Wait 'til she comes back and sees
What they did to her room.
Then we will see who is stupified.

 From above the Eiffel Tower
Water shimmers from LakeTitticaca
Water breaks
Swimming in a bouncing movement
Awake

by Davis O.
 

While going
to Reagan
High School
I felt like
I was bouncing
of the Eiffel tower
in French class
and swam through
Lake Titticaca
in geogrphy class
I was so exited
I passed out.

by Rudy H.
 

I was at Reagab High School
thinking of the Eiffel tower
but then I remembered
I had to bounce on to lake Tifficaca
to swim.

by Claudia H.

I would like to drop Reagan HS into
Lake Titticaca and watch a few choice
try to swim away and fail
Or maybe drop them off of the Effel tower
and see if they bounce.
by Dante' A.
 

I once went to the Eiffel tower
I bought a pretty flower
I gave it away to Kim
She was mad she couldn't swim
She tried to doggy paddle
She almost didn't.

The lights of Reagan HS
Stream as high as the Eiffel tower
They bounce as the fish in lake Titticaca
Swimming through my eyes as the world flies by.

by Cristina C.
 

As the water droplets bounced
as it were out and back into the water
I remembered the site of the Eiffel tower
As a Reagan High School student
I never thought that swimming
in lake Tifficaca was a possibilities.
