Another recollection

by William

Last night I had a boys' night at Chuck E. Cheese's. I did what I was supposed to do--not get upset at my uncle who was taking me. When I was done playing all the games that I played, I had thirty tickets. I made a reciept out of them, and bought three lizards. And then my aunt gave me a receipt that had thirty tickets in it, and I was able to buy three more lizards. I didn't know that there was any lizards there until someone said, "I want three toy lizards." I couldn't find Jarek, so I had to climb up the big playground in there. But then I came down and saw that he was playing a game where he was supposed to be exploding airplanes.

Three couplets

by William


There was a person who had a pet dog,
And there was a lizard in a bog.

There was a pig
And someone said, "He's big."

Dr. Doolittle likes to talk
And take a walk.

(This is William's first foray into poetry. Once he found a formula that worked, I had a hard time trying to get him to mix it up a bit. He wanted to keep starting them all with "There was a person who had a pet..." I guess I've been reading him too many limericks. :) )

The Caldwell Zoo

by William

We went to the Caldwell Zoo. First we checked out birds. There were a few parrots and flamingos and ducks. Then we saw a baby rhino. We saw wildebeests, warthogs, elephants, antelope and zebra too. We saw turtles when we were coming into the reptile house. We saw a cool kind of skink that I like--broadhead skink. And also there were horned lizards, newts and a gila monster. The Caldwell Zoo is cool.
