| I'm Getting Sick of Peanut Butter |
|
| I look inside my lunch box, and, oh, what do I see? A peanut butter sandwich staring glumly back at me. I know I had one yesterday, and, yes, the day before. In fact, that’s all I’ve eaten for at least a month or more. I’m sure tomorrow afternoon the outlook’s just as bleak. I’ll bet I’m having peanut butter every day this week. I’m getting sick of peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. Why can’t I have baloney or potato chips to munch? I wish I had lasagna or a piece of pumpkin pie. Another day of peanut butter might just make me cry. But still this awful sandwich is in every lunch I take. You see, it is the only thing my mom knows how to make. |
--SooMin--April, 24, 2008All You Can Eat RapI went to a placethat serves all you can eat, and now my new shoesdo not fit on my feet.My hat is too tinyto fit on my head.My legs now hang over the edge of my bed.So, if you should visitthe very same place,take my advice, friend,and don't stuff your face.--SooMin--April, 24, 2008ISH!When Frederick's grandmotherserved him some fish,young Frederick turned up his nose and said, "Ish!""Okay," said grandma, "I'll give you some ish." as she scraped out some earwaxright into a dish.She brushed in some dandruff that fell from her head,and some fingernail clippingsfrom her husband, Ed.She sniffed at the mixture and started to sneeze.Her eyes watered up;she got weak in the knees."Okay," said young Frederick,"I'd rather have fish."--SooMin--April, 24, 2008I Ate a Ton of SugarI ate a ton of sugar.It made me very sweet.It also made me very round-Now I can't find my feet.--SooMin--April, 24, 2008I Have Noodles in My NostrilsI have noodles in my nostrils. I have noodles on my nose.There are noodles on my cheeks and chinand dripping down my clothes. I’ve got more upon my forehead.Some are sticking to my neck.It’s completely disconcerting.I’m a noodle-covered wreck. I can see them on my kneecaps,and I know they’re in my shoes.(When I stand, they’re somewhat squishy,and I feel them start to ooze.) There are several in my pockets.There’s a handful in my hair.And I’m pretty sure that some are evenin my underwear. So try not to do what I did:I’m a total nincompoop,and I fell asleep at lunchwhile eating chicken noodle soup.--SooMin--April, 24, 2008Chicken PartsA picture of a chicken is in my science book.Since I am very curious,I stopped and took a look. Some arrows pointed to the parts,like wings and legs and breast.I saw the beak and feet and tail,but couldn’t find the rest. I learned a lot about that bird,but still the question lingers:Where are all the nuggetsand the patties and the fingers? --SooMin--April, 24, 2008Meat LoafMy mother made a meat loaf,but I think she made it wrong.It could be that she cooked itjust a little bit too long. She pulled it from the oven,and we all began to choke.The meat loaf was on fire,and the kitchen filled with smoke. The smoke detectors squealedfrom all the flaming meat loaf haze.My father used his drinkto try extinguishing the blaze. Mom shrieked and dropped the meat loaf;it exploded with a boomand splattered blackened globs onevery surface in the room. The dog passed out. The kitten hid.My brother screamed and fled.The baby ate a gobbetsticking to her head. My father started yelling,and my sister went berserk.But I kept cool and said, “At least our smoke detectors work.” --SooMin--April, 24, 2008Powdered SugarI hurried in the restaurantto have a special treat.I ordered pancakes covered withmy favorite thing to eat. It wasn’t maple syrup,not molasses, honey, jam.I said, “Put heaps and pilesof powdered sugar on it Ma’am.” The food arrived completely coatedwith the tasty fluff.I cut a bite and raised my forkto gobble up the stuff. Instead, I goofed—I breathed it inand quickly had to cough.My choking blastedall the luscious pancake topping off.I blew a powdered sugar stormthat flurried ‘round the room.It snowed on the linoleum—the waitress got a broom. It fell on heads like dandruff flakes.It frosted every light.It powdered babies’ bottoms,and turned chocolate milk to white. I blinked, and rubbed my cloudy eyes,and sneezed a snow-white booger.I saw my pancakes, and I said,“I need more powdered sugar!” --SooMin--April, 24, 2008The Spaghetti ChallengeMy mom’s spaghetti is the best; no other mom can beat it;and every time she cooks itI can hardly wait to eat it. I twist the strands around my forkwith wonderful control,but as I raise them to my mouththey fall back in the bowl. I twirl the noodles once againwith all the skill I’m able,but as I lift them up to eatthey tumble to the table. I spin my fork; spaghetti windsaround and round once more;but as it nears my waiting lipsit slithers to the floor. My mom’s spaghetti is the best;no other mom can beat it;but I would like it betterif I got a chance to eat it. --SooMin--April, 24, 2008The Yuckiest SandwichTake a slice of moldy bread.Spread it thick with mud.Add an onion ring or two,topped with slimy crud. Sprinkle fish food all around—add a dried-up bug.Smear the whole thing with the lintyou picked up off the rug. Garnish it with coffee groundsor hair spray from your mother.Then wrap it up in cellophaneand give it to your brother! --SooMin--April, 24, 2008There's a New Cook in the CafeteriaGood morning, staff and students. We have a brand new cook.And that’s why our lunch menuwill have a brand new look.To make a good impression,our cook’s prepared a treat:your choice of snapping turtle soupor deep-fried monkey meat.If you’re a vegetarian,we have good news today:she’s serving pickled cauliflowerand jellyfish soufflé.And for dessert our cook has madea recipe from France:I’m sure you’ll all want seconds—of chocolate-covered ants.I hope you like this gourmet feast.I hope you won’t complain.But if you do we’ll have to bringour old cook back again.--SooMin--April, 24, 2008Our Mother's At A MeetingOur mother’s at a meeting for some big, important dealand couldn’t be at home tonightto cook the evening meal. She left some short instructions that my sister was to follow.Instead my sister cooked up thingsimpossible to swallow. Like Brussels sprouts in vinegarand jellybeans in mustard,an onion-pickle puddingand a lemon-radish custard. She burned a stick of buttertill the house was filled with smoke,then fried a pound of pepperwith a half an artichoke. She put a whole bananain the blender with a steak,then mixed it up with tuna fishand baked it in a cake. She stirred some chocolate ice creamwith garbanzo beans and bacon.A single bite was all it tookto leave me feeling shaken. We should have ordered pizza,but we didn’t know, alas,my sister is the only kidwho flunked her cooking class. --SooMin--April, 25, 2008Cockroach SandwichCockroach sandwichFor my lunch,Hate the tasteBut love the crunch! --SooMin--April, 25, 2008Mary Had A Little HamMary had a little hamWith scrambled eggs and toast with jam.Then she had a little cake,And then she had a bellyache. --SooMin--April, 25, 2008Birthday AdviceToday on your birthdayI think you should know—you’re getting too old nowto suck on your toe. And when you get hungryI hope you won’t spreadthe jam that you findbetween your toes on your bread. Do not shine your shoeswith the wax from your ear.Don’t shampoo your hairwith your dad’s favorite beer. --SooMin--April, 27, 2008Fraidy CatEvery night he wakes me up,
all crying and upset.
He thinks he heard a monster,
and now his bed is wet.
“I heard a noise, and now I’m scared,”
he says through all the tears.
I wipe his face and pat his head
and hug away his fears.
I check for ghosts inside his room
and look behind the door.
I scare off all the bogeymen
and tell him, “Cry no more.”
I understand his fear of ghosts.
It wouldn’t be so bad,
but it’s really kind of silly—
this fraidy cat’s my dad.--SooMin--April, 27, 2008I Thought I Saw a Ghost Last NightI thought I saw a ghost last night—
a goblin or a ghoul,
an ugly little creature
oozing salivary drool.
It had an eerie figure
and a huge gigantic nose.
It wasn’t wearing sneakers
and was minus all its clothes.
It hovered through my bedroom
as I tried to catch some z’s.
It appeared to have a lesion
or a facial skin disease.
I rubbed the sleep from both my eyes
and loomed a little nearer.
I knew what I had seen
was just my image in the mirror.
--SooMin--April, 27, 2008Sweet DreamsIt’s always been a wish of mine
(or should I say a dream)
to scare my sister half to death
and hear her piercing scream.
That’s why I squished four bugs until
they all were very dead,
then took them to my sister’s room
and put them in her bed.
After we had said goodnight
my heart began to pound.
I waited and I waited, but
she never made a sound.
And then I got so doggone tired
I couldn’t stay awake.
I climbed into my own warm bed
and shrieked—there was a snake!
It wiggled, and I leaped and fell
and bruised my bottom half.
Then I heard an awful sound—
it was my sister’s laugh. --SooMin--April, 28, 2008

Advice From Dracula
Don’t ever dine with Frankenstein;
he feasts on flaming turpentine.
He chomps and chews on soles of shoes
and quaffs down quarts of oily ooze.
At supper time he’ll slurp some slime.
He’s known to gnaw on gristly grime.
His meals of mud and crispy crud
will curl your hair and chill your blood.
His poison, pungent, putrid snacks
may cause you seizures and attacks.
Your hair may turn completely white.
You may pass out or scream in fright.
Your skin will crawl.
Your throat will burn.
Your eyes will bulge.
Your guts will churn.
Your teeth will clench.
Your knees will shake.
Your hands will sweat.
Your brain will bake.
You’ll cringe and cry.
You’ll moan and whine.
You’ll feel a chill
run down your spine.
You’ll lose your lunch.
You’ll lose your head.
So come...
and dine with me instead.
--SooMin--April, 30, 2008
Hey, Ma, Somethings Under My Bed
I hear it at night
when I turn out the light.
It’s that creature who’s under my bed.
He won’t go away.
He’s determined to stay.
But I wish he would beat it, instead.
I told him to go,
but he shook his head no.
He was worse than an unwelcome guest.
I gave him a nudge,
but he still wouldn’t budge.
It was hard to get rid of the pest.
So I fired one hundred
round cannonballs plundered
from pirate ships sailing the seas.
But he caught them barehanded
and quickly grandstanded
by juggling them nice as you please.
The creature was slick.
He was clever and quick.
This called for a drastic maneuver.
So I lifted my spread
and charged under the bed
with the roar of my mother’s new Hoover.
But he snorted his nose
and sucked in the long hose,
the canister, cord, and the plug,
and vacuumed in dust
till I thought he would bust
then he blew it all over the rug.
Now this made me sore,
so I cried, “This is war!”
and sent in a contingent of fleas,
an army of ants
dressed in camouflage pants,
followed closely by big killer bees.
But he welcomed them in
with a sly, crafty grin,
and he ate them with crackers and cheese.
I screamed, “That’s enough!”
It was time to get tough.
“You asked for it, Creature,” I said,
as I picked up and threw,
with an aim sure and true,
my gym sneaker under the bed.
With each whiff of the sneaker
the creature grew weaker.
He staggered out gasping for air.
He coughed and he sneezed
and collapsed with a wheeze
and accused me of not playing fair.
Then holding his nose
with his twelve hairy toes,
the creature curled into a ball,
and rolled ’cross the floor
smashing right through the door.
I was rid of him once and for all.
The very next night
when I turned out the light
and was ready to lay down my head,
I heard my kid brother
cry out to my mother,
“Hey, Ma, something’s under my bed.”
--SooMin--April, 30, 2008
Good-bye, Goldfish
The day my favorite goldfish died,
I’m not ashamed to say, I cried.
I prayed for its departed soul,
then flushed it down the toilet bowl.
--SooMin--May, 1, 2008
The Creature
In the middle of the night,
in the part that’s known as “dead,”
I wake and hear the breathing
of the creature ’neath my bed.
Sometimes he growls and threatens me,
sometimes he only stares.
He’s big and mean and ugly,
and I shiver when he glares.
His B. O. fills the bedroom,
and his breath is awful, too.
His teeth are caked with ick and grime;
he should be in a zoo.
Instead, he lives beneath me—
it’s like rooming with a skunk.
The creature’s my big brother,
and he has the lower bunk.
--SooMin--May, 1, 2008
The Two-headed Monster
A two-headed monster
broke into my house.
He ate every button
on Jennifer’s blouse.
He tasted a table
and chewed on a bed.
He swallowed the hat
on my grandfather’s head.
The monster ingested
the living room floor.
He scarfed down a painting
and dined on a door.
He snacked on the sofa.
He munched on the mats.
He sampled the fur
on my kittens and cats.
Although he enjoyed
all the things that he ate,
he suffered a tragic,
unfortunate fate.
The doctors confirmed it.
I heard what they said.
He ate mother’s cooking,
and now he is dead.
--SooMin--May, 1, 2008
The Headless Horseman's Haircut
The headless horseman’s hair was
getting scruffy ’round the ears.
He hadn’t had a decent cut
in over twenty years.
He’d heard about a barber
who was recommended by
another headless horseman,
so he thought him worth a try.
He tied his horse outside the shop
on Second Avenue,
went in and asked the barber
for a shave and a shampoo.
He said, “I’d like my hair cut short,
but leave some length in back.
I’ll need a dandruff treatment, too.
I’m fond of wearing black.”
The headless horseman thought a bit
before instructing him,
“And then if time allows it, sir,
my moustache needs a trim.”
He left there feeling confident
at quarter after one.
He turned and told the barber,
“I’ll be back here when you’re done.”

Basketball's My Favorite Sport
Basketball's my favorite sport,
I dribble up and down the court,
The ball goes bouncing off my toes,
and beans the teacher in the nose,
He stumbles back and grabs his nose,
He hits the wall and down he goes,
The other players stop and stare,
They've never heard the teacher swear,
With no one playing anymore,
I grab the ball I shoot I score,
I love this game it's so much fun,
The teacher cried but hey.. WE WON!!!

My Sister is a Sissy
My sister is a sissy,
she's afraid of dogs and cats,
A toad can give her tantrums,
And she's terrified of rats,
she screams at things with stingers,
Things that buzz and things that crawl,
Just the shadow of a spider
sends my sister up the wall.
A lizard makes makes her shiver,
and a turtle makes her squirm,
she positively cringes,
at the prospect of a worm,
she's afraid of things with feathers,
She's afraid of things with fur,
she's scarred of almost everything-
How come I'm scared of her?????

I'd Never Dine on Dinosaurs
I'd never dine on dinosaurs,

A Brat
into
There was a cat,
Who licked my mat
I called him a brat,
So he ate my pet rat
Now I call him Hattie,
Because he loves my,

The Titanic
The Wonder Ship,
Was leaving for its first trip.
The iceberg hit Titanic,
Everyone was in a panic.
Titanic is sinking,
People are drowning.
Titanic sunk down into the ocean,

Happy Birthday to you
You're hundred and two.
You look like a student
If I were to live my life in catfish forms in scaffolds of skin and whiskers at the bottom of a pond you were to come by
one evening when the moon was shining down into my dark home and stand there at the edge of my affection and think, "It's beautiful here by this pond. I wish somebody loved me,"
I'd love you and be your catfish friend and drive such lonely thoughts from your mind and suddenly you would be at peace, and ask yourself, "I wonder if there are any catfish in this pond? It seems like a perfect place for them.-Vivian-5/3/08
And live in a school.~Sung Hwan~May 2, 2008
