HAPPINESS

Happiness is yellow
I tastes sweet
It smells like flowers
It reminds me of home
It sounds like cheering
It feels warm
Happiness makes me feel like smiling

IF I WERE INVISIBLE

If I were invisible
I’d sneak up on my sister
I’d poke her in the side
And I wouldn’t need to hide

If I were a invisible
I’d make the perfect cop
I could stay at the crime
Than catch them right
If I were invisible
I’d sit beside a cat
I’d pull its tail
And watch it swipe at everything, but me!

Oops

I bet Union Pacific had some fun fixing that mistake.

Big Boy

Tulip Time

I was asked by the 7th & 8th grade band teacher to join them to the Tulip Time Parade. Many of my friends were also asked to. I'm still waiting to find out what we are going to play.

Odd Hail Storm

Yesterday we had a hail storm. The odd thing was that within a half hour, the ground looked like it had snowed, not hailed. The windshields on the cars parked at the school were iced over.

March 2008 Ensign Pictures

These are some cool pictures from the Ensign.

What I Am Reading

I am starting Afghanistan: A History of Conflict. It is a slow starting book because it begins in ancient times. As soon as it becomes more modern, it is easier to follow. It is 266 pages and 15 chapters.

IANR

Some cool pictures I found of the IANR (Iowa Northern Railway)

Odd Train

The Trackmobile. An interesting little locomotive. It's probbaly used for yard work. I guess that it wouldn't need a runaround.

Mississippi Bridge

Poetry

I've gotten big into poetry lately and here are a few of them.

Iwo Jima

As the night approched

They stood ready
Some sat in hole, some in the sky
All ready for attack
On to the island, on through the fight
Some of them died, some of them not
Through sixty days of endless fighting

Then finally, nothing

March

Crashes in like a lion
And makes a big scene
Then starts to weep
It will sit and blubber
And change like rubber
Then sadly - leaves like a lamb

People I Wait On

My mom, My dad
My aunt, my uncle
My brother, My sister
My bus driver, My teacher
My cat, My dog
My colleague, My friend
But crazy thing
They say they wait on me

Onward Through the Night

Beautiful masterpiece of brass and steel

With smoke of black and white

Pistons thrashing, whistles blowing

Onward through the night

Across the bridge so tall and high

Over the river so far and wide

Through the tunnel so deep and dark

Onward through the night

Bells a ringing, brakes a squealing

I see its gleam through the dark

I see its beam of light

Onward through the night

Twisting, turning ‘cross the prairies

Wheels a rolling round

The whistle makes its eerie sound

Phantom of the night

"Mommy, Teacher Ate Me"

One night after school

I went to sleep in my bed

I had a peculiar dream

I walked into class

Sat in my desk

Asked teacher a question

She became a big worm

A worm with sharp teeth

I woke up

“Mommy, Teacher Ate Me!!!”

Game of Tag

Run, Slip, Fall,

Slip, Fall, Cry

Fall, Cry, “MOM”

Cry, “MOM”, “HELP”

“MOM”,”HELP”, Cry

I Finally Did It

I really needed to get it done, but I hate clippers near my head. luckily, my seminary teacher gave me an excuse. She said that if I got my hair cut that my team would gain 500 points per member of the team, and there are four! We now just have to get my friend to follow for another 2000 points. (His hair is longer than mine was) :)

Cars

I have a lot of pictures sitting in different folders, on different computers all over the place. Here is just a few of cars.
