Sharing a room with my little sister By Sophia Every night at 9 o’clock My sister climbs into my bed And takes off my socks. She kisses my toes and tickles my knees, I’m ever so happy that she doesn’t sneeze. It also is good that she doesn’t pee. Because I don’t want to dream that I’m at sea. Next she jumps on my bed And pulls the hairs on my head. She wants me awake For goodness sake. But I have school at 8 And I can’t be late. So I yell, “Go Away! I’ll see you next May.” She climbs into her bed And I roll over in mine And dream about my own room Where life will be fine.	My Siblings By Michael S. There are three of us, We all are nuts. I must confess, We make a mess. My mom tries to put us back in line, But we’re crazy all the time. We make a lot of noise, And we make a hurricane with our toys. We love our mom, She really is the bomb. We hate to clean, We say, “you are so mean”. She is nice to me, And wants us all to be happy. We love sports, She drives from field to court. Eating, Shoving, Pushing, Hitting, Arguing, Yelling… LOVING

Pirate Joe By Ms. Stefans’ 2nd grade class Pirate Joe has a really big toe, that he broke in Mexico. Pirate Joe is also smelly, because he eats too much jelly. One of his hands is really big, the other one is smaller than a twig. He is so tall, taller than them all, even taller than his bedroom wall! Lucky is how his pirate-friends feel, and they like to eat a very small meal. A normal meal would be an eel, and not a banana, but a banana peel! They want to find the Light of Power, they hope it doesn’t take an hour. “Yo ho captain I see the ever-lasting dough,” “I know what that means, don’t you know?” “Yes! We are close to the Light of Power- yo ho!” “Arrrg! Throw the treasure over board,” said Pirate Billy, “We need to make room for the Light of Power, silly!” “Those seagulls there are attacking at Hilly!” said Billy, “Who cares? Just walk the plank, Hilly!” said Willy. They finally arrived at Pirate Bay, they didn’t know how long they’d have to stay. They dug for gold because they felt bold, but when they found the gold… It was cover in mold!

Mudball By Ms. Pagan’s Class “You threw a mudball at my shoe, Now I’ll throw some more at you,” Said Sister to Brother, But then he threw another. Brother giggled with glee as he said, “I bet you can’t hit me!” Sister replied, “I won’t even try. “And this,” she said, “is the reason why!” “I’m going to tell Dad And I bet he’ll be mad.” Then Dad did come out And he was mad without a doubt. “Sister is covered in mud,” he said. “And she looks like a Milk Dud.” To Brother, he said, “Go do your math,” To Sister, he said, “Go take a bath.”	CAPTAIN ROBOTRON by Sammy C. I am Robotron, the pirate robot. You are doomed to be demised. You will crumble before my laser vision eyes. If my cannons hit you, you will fly into the skies. I do not like Blackbeard. I really hate that guy. He is very famous. I really wonder why. I’ve plundered seven treasure ships. I’ve sailed the seven seas. But that big lug Blackbeard, he cringes when I sneeze. I am Robotron, the pirate robot. You are doomed to be demised. You will crumble before my laser vision eyes.

Their voice is filled with power. He lives on a pirate ship. His parrot’s name is Pip. Pirates are not cool. I think they’re really cruel.

Scrap the Pirate By Michaela O. Born to a Pirate Mom and Dad, Was Scrap, a pirate young and sad, ‘cause he was taught in how to steal, Dig for treasure, find a meal. But Scrap had spent his 13 years Hiding the fact that he had fears, Of getting dirty, or being caught Although, he liked to eat a lot! While pirate clothes he’d turn away In yellow dresses, he’d want to play On Sundays in a church, he’d pray He could live his life another way. While pirate boys just loved to tumble Scrap thought that not worth the trouble, He wanted all to get along Play nice games and sing a song. So when his parents, he did tell About his fears he knew so well, They smiled and said, “We love you, dear, And now you need not ever fear “We wanted to leave a life of crime, and all the sadness, pillage and grime, to go to a place called Castaway Cay and Live our lives another way.” Now Scrap lives on Castaway Cay Greeting tourists every day He gets to wear whatever he wants, And types his poems in different fonts. The End	Jack the Pirate By Riley L. There once was a friendly pirate named Jack, But there was one think that he would lack. It was the meanness and rudeness that he needed.

All his days were spent counting gold, Eating stuff, sleeping, the crew said it was getting old. One day he saw a seagull, and thought that was that, Until the mischievous seagull came down and stole his hat. The chase began. He ran and ran. Eventually, Rotten Rob got out of breath.

By Emily K. and Meredith K. Siblings are a pain; they make you crazy they make you insane. They always seem to say, “I’ll never play with you no way!” They think they’re cool they think they’re hip. Their mouths I wish I could zip. They hurt you, squeeze you and push you down. They make you look dumb, like a clown. I know it’s very clear, I wish I could make them disappear! Well siblings aren’t all that bad. Only sometimes they make you sad. Sometimes they help you with your homework, make you laugh when you are scared. If they’re 16, they will drive you anywhere. They complement you when your work is great. Your hair they might even appreciate! Usually, they make you smile: I guess they can stay around for a while.	By Raegan A. One day when I was walking, I saw a shimmering gleam. But I asked myself, I am just thirteen. I got in the water, and picked up the shimmery thing.

Pirate Joe By Mrs. Frawley’s Class There once was a pirate named Joe, Whose favorite word was “No”! He was stinky, bossy and mean, Not a day in his life was he clean. He had no manners and yelled a lot, He cooked his meals in a dirty pot. Instead of a parrot he owned a crow, The crow was blue with a big pink bow. He makes his crew eat slimy, cold worms, You can be sure they’re covered in lots of germs. He likes to play in a big tub of Jello, He certainly is a rather odd fellow.

In fact his boat doesn’t sit at dock, Instead it’s anchored on a rock.		Not a Day Dream By Bill Z.

The crew cheered me and gave me a high five Then they all broke out in a jive The captain asked if I wanted to be first mate Then I awoke and on my pillow was a piece of eight. I told my friends.

You Ho Ho By Hannah V. “Yo ho ho,” a pirate said to me ‘Come sail the seven seas with me.” I stood there pleased. And then I sneezed. I went on the ship. And I tripped on a whip.

Even though he’s weird I love him. On Tuesdays we go to the gym. He is teaching me how to swim. This helps to keep me slim!!	Brother for Sale! By Kileigh I have one brother for sale. He’s not quite a male. He’ll be nice to you, Even though he pretends to moo. He’ll be friends with you. He will also lend things to you. Well, my brother’s not for sale. My brother, that’s not quite a male.

	Brother Penguin By Kevin When my brother ate magical fishes, He turned into a penguin. We aren’t giving him any More dishes of fishes. Now I can push him down, But he can’t get up. Now he is a cup.

Sisters By Christian My sister is very funny. Her head is shaped like a bunny. She is very nice. She always gives good advice. My sister is very caring. She will see how you are faring. She can sometimes be rude. Like when she throws her food. Sometimes she can be a boss. Like when she tells me to floss. It’s fun to play with my sister. Just don’t ask me to kiss her.	Pip the Pirate By Mackenzie Once I knew a pirate named Pip. He gave the British Navy the slip. He and his crew, Wanted to do something new! The Russian circus interested him Even though his chances of getting in were slim. He wasn’t a very good juggler. So he went back to being a smuggler. When he came back he surprised the crew. They were happy to see the captain they knew. Gold and diamonds were their target, But they had to settle for eggs in the market!

Pirates By Brandon Pirates look for treasure so their heart is pleasure but they fight because they think they’re right they make you walk the plank because their mind goes blank they like to fight for their right all day and night the captain looks for treasure so the boat can be the only one with feathers		Lazy Sister By Nic If she wants water She will wait and wait and wait and, wait and wait and wait until A storm comes and rains, Each lane of rain, Will pass her bye, There she will lie, She will ask if you can get her water, There she will lie and link paperclips Her lips, Are as dry as dog food, She will ask for her loom, Its been two days, And still she lays

The Captain That Did Not Like Socks By Brenna B. Long ago on the land of Cherry, there was a ship named the St. Mary. It swam all riverbanks, and all places that were very dank. With an evil captain and a nasty crew they sailed that ship through the ocean blue. But one day, the captain yelped, “Blimy!” for all his socks were slimy He yelled to his crew, “You’ll clean this up so it’s spotless of any goo or muck!” So the crew went very elite to clean the socks and make them neat. But it was a positive that they were beat and half the crew went and took a seat! The captain said, “You really lazy scums, you are just sitting here like a bunch of bums!” “Well captain as you see, it’s hard to hard for crew and me. So you can try it, it’s hard and you will see.” Called the dingy boy. “Well, well, well, I love a challenge. I accept and you will see!” Said the captain with a shove. The Captain tried with all this might, but he couldn’t even fight. The captain said to dingy, “It’s harder then you would expect, I guess I’ll throw them away and buy another set.

Pirates By Maci M. Pirates are people that wear a bandana cap Pirates are NOT people who would sit on their parent’s laps. Pirates are people you DON’T want to be around. So if you’re near pirates, stay close to the ground! Pirates are people who say “Arr Matey!” Pirates are NOT people that are dainty. Pirates are people who fight with their swords. Pirates are NOT people who work with cords. Now you know what pirates are like, So if you see a pirate say bye-bye and go hop on your bike!		Old Pirate By Ms. Fitzpatrick’s Class There was a mean old pirate on a boat He looked like a fat old billy goat He sailed the seas looking for gold The treasure he found was shiny and old.

		Smelly Joe the Pirate by Kimberly L. Smelly Joe the Pirate sails upon the seas, and every time he gets a chance he brushes off the fleas. He and his men are nasty things they steal socks and rings. They put the plunder to their lips and fling it on the ship. They throw the loot in the boot of that smelly old ship of his... He's got a stealing biz!

A Pirate By Mrs. May’s Class A pirate sat down on a pile of gold. It was hard and very cold. The pirate said, “Arrgh, I have traveled very far, And I’m glad I found it before I got too old.”		A Pirate Poem By Nick D. Pirates, pirates sometimes sad When other people make them Mad! Pirates, pirates sometimes bad You might not know it but they could be your Dad!

		A Pirate Poem By Zach D. Pirates, pirates sometimes bad They found treasure and you are sad So do you and that will make you rich And so you are cool while you’re digging a ditch. Pirates, pirates in the air Pirates, pirates every where!

Chasing a Pirate’s Dream By Amy H. Away down west, where the wild winds a blow and the pirates roam them rough seas ya’ know, They search for jewels and booty too and eat stale food that we couldn’t chew. So here’s a tale that ye might know, About a young kid named Joe, That loved the water and the sea, and often had a dream like me. To sail the seas and drown each ship And leave them sails about to rip, Then grab ‘em jewels and booty too, That’s what he sought out to do. So when young Joe was ah man, He met a pretty lady named Mary Ann. They quickly wed and Joe set off to see, What precious money he could bring Mary. Alas life wasn’t going great for Joe. He saw a pirate ship and began to row. There he met Capt’n Peg Leg Hook And scrubbed ‘em decks, two days it took. Along the long pillaging pirate’s sail He met a girl named Ruth, carrying a pail. She was not as pretty as his Mary dear, And Pirate Joe made his disdain quite clear. But then one day a bright pink pirate ship arose, From its mast fluttered a flag with a skull and rose. The simple sight of this ship scared pirates to their bones. The pirates whimpered and whispered in hushed tones, All except for Joe, who washed the deck, And was a depressed, heart broken wreck. He greatly missed Mary Ann dear, And wished that his truelove was near. It had been two years since she had seen Joe, The sad pirate man who loved her so. And as the ship sailed round the bend, The pirate crew shot cannons to the end. Suddenly, Pirate Joe saw a very familiar face His Mary, a Captain, dressed in boots and lace. “Shiver me Timbers”, Joe exclaimed “Mary’s on board.” He swung across and hugged her, but she roared, “Get off me lumber, I ‘ave no time Yer left me with not a single dime! I’ve struggled to survive every day, Since ye left me in such dismay, So now I’ll show ye what I see, A bloody trader that deserted me! I never loved ye from the very start, So it won’t hurt me to break yer heart.” Joe’s heart sank to the bottom of the sea, While Mary just laughed with glee. Joe said, “So let’s fight dear Mary Ann And if I win, ye’ll take back my hand.” “Dear Joe, if I win this awful bet I’ll do something meaner yet.” “Aye, aye”, they said, and shook hands and started fighting far from the lands. It took all day, it took all night, Then Mary caught Joe with a fright. She had won and now she said, “In the morning, ye’ll be dead!” So that night he tried to flee, But pirates tied him up, ye see So morning loomed all too soon, As Mary whistled a happy tune. “The day has come,” said Mary, “I’ll make sure to finish ye!” Joe walked the creaky plank that day And died in the sea some say. But as for those who know the truth, Joe was saved by that girl Ruth. In the end, Joe found his love When danger threatened from above. The moral of this pirate story, Is not about chasing loot and glory. So unless you want to meet yer end, Choose a much more worthy friend.
