An Ode to Traffic
-8th Grade
This is an ode to traffic
Sometimes people think it's a racket
Sometimes people give it a curse
and they like to say "What could be worse?!"
Other times people can feel the heat
but sometimes people need something to eat
Others need something cold to drink
or they're going to an ice rink
sometimes people blame it for being late
but I think traffic gets too much hate
Sometimes people blame the lights
but I think "Just look at the sights"
Whether you're the highest Lord
or own a Lamborghini Ventedor
Traffic will always be thought if as lame
and sometimes get called bad names
Then one thinks to them self"It's not traffic on the road"
It's people who drive like a TOAD
I think people are kind of blessed
to sit there take a break and a rest
and whether you drive like a boar
or destructive Dan driving dirty dune down by the drafty shore
traffic will always be great
although it gets a lot of hate
My Sonnet
-8
The Human Fault is our own knowledge now
We think of things we don't have really loud
And praise each other wondering and how
To be each other following the crowd
We split divide each other for our skin
We give each other treatment racially
We Judge each other wondering their sin
Some people think their not a he or she
Were told as people that we are the same
Not realizing the differences and moods
We hurt each other calling, cussing names
We criticize the people making food
Were Humans with our faults and problems too
We humans try to walk inside Gods shoes
The Sky
-8
I feel like the sky
Some days nice and warm
The sun's rays upon me
Some days I get mad
I make it rain down on them
I try to tell them to stop pollution
and some of them are trying
I feel the cool temperatures of space
and sometimes see them go up there
I feel planes with Humans
that tickle me
I give the World a big hug
and they give me one back
I feel like the sky
I am a Penguin
-8
I am a penguin
I wonder why it's getting warmer
I hear the ice cracking
I see the ice falling
I want the ice my home to stay
I pretend humans will change their ways
I feel the air, Earth warming up
I worry the humans won't catch up
I hope these humans fix their ways, and
I try to warn them to keep pollution at bay
I wish there was a hope for a future
I understand they have stubborn rulers
I say global warming is real
I dream they'd sub cum to logic
I imagine weren't so idiotic
I believe in a smarter future
I am a logical, hopeful penguin
Limericks Are Fun
-8
I don't want to write a limerick
That's why I use some magic
That's why there's a smell
With no bad smell
That could write all my limericks
My Grandpa

He always Pushed me in the pool
and taught me how to swim
He would wake up early to go to work
and sometimes drive me to daycare
in his old cozy '69 slight cigar smelling mustang
He would take me to his musty office
he would show me all the airplanes
and how their parts and things worked
he would let me sit on his stuffed fluffy seat
and mess around and look at all his things and when
I would go to his house he would be standing
there ready to give me a big fat hug
Trump as President
-8

So there was a guy named Trump
His Hair sat in a lump
He owns a lot if rich land
and even his own brand
He was running in a republican race
and was accused a couple times of being unchaste
He promised to build a long, tall wall
and that no illegals would get passed it at all
He hoped to get us out of debt
but kept getting attacked on the world wide net
Him and a Democrat went to the final debate
He won title "President of the United States"
As president he's been decreasing the rate of debt
Although he stills gets bad reviews on the internet
He's been getting his business done straight
Although some say enemies with North Korea is a bad fate
His presidency will look great
Although his laws get pushed a little late
He will try to do his very best
In thee presidential nest
