George Walker Bush By 3rd grader
Dec.14 Gemma Kummerer
George W. Bush was made president just yesterday. Our teacher made us watch the whole inauguration. It was so cool. She said that President Bush is our 43rd president. His Vice President was Dick Cheney. She also said that he went to Yale which is a very good school. He lived in Texas , there he married his wife Laura Bush. She also said that in 4 years someone else is going to be president, maybe someone like Senator Obama will be the next.

How to Give a Cat Some Medicine and Take Care of the Inevitable Injuries

Cats are demonic little creatures, but you can’t tell this from their cute, fluffy exterior, and never is this more evident then when you try to give them medicine. Hopefully if you follow the directions in this essay, giving your cat, Fluffy, her medicine will go well and you’ll escape without any life threatening injuries and be able to take care of the ones you get.
First you will need a demonic cat, some kind of medicine, assistant, medical kit, gloves, and amazing health insurance. For the medicine, only use what the vet has prescribed. Your assistant should be unwitting, and a friend you don’t mind losing or a relative who owes you money. The medical kit – next to the insurance- is the most important of your supplies. In it you will need sterile bandages, disinfectant, a suture kit, and a tranquilizer (for you). The gloves should be workman quality leather with a lifetime insurance for durability. Last but not least is the health insurance which should cover tetanus and rabies shots as well as trauma, and psychiatric counseling. Optional equipment may include: duct tape, rope, big hammer, chainsaw, cattle prod, crowbar, and all purpose stain remover. Now you’re as ready as you’ll ever be.
Fluffy, your cute, tiny self-proclaimed princess, will be hard to get if she thinks something’s up, so act like everything’s normal and get out her favorite glooky canned cat food so she’ll come to you. When she does, grab her by the scruff with your gloved hand, and quickly hand it to the unwitting assistant. Get assistant to lie on cat to immobilize it. By now both you and your assistant may have noticed some changes in Fluffy’s behavior and looks, like the blood –red eye’s, sparks coming off its fur, and the apocalyptic howling that’s somehow issuing from its tiny throat, ( you will have forewarned your neighbors that you are trying to medicate your cat and that it will probably make a racket, and most of them, from past experience will go on vacation) and your assistant will be looking at you with pleading eyes. You may find it necessary to reassure the assistant that the bleeding will soon stop, and that the thing underneath him is still Fluffy and not the reincarnation of Lucifer. Measure out the correct dosage of medicine, and while you’re doing this the cat will probably close its mouth very tightly. Next try to pry open cat’s mouth with gloved hand. If this doesn’t work use the crowbar. Hold open the cat’s mouth and shove down medicine. After the demon, I mean cat has swallowed medicine get assistant to quickly let go of cat. Both of you should now probably run for it! Leave the house for a while and let the little possessed cat calm down.
Tend to your and your assistant’s wounds by disinfecting and cleaning them. Then wrap them in the sterile bandages. For more serious wounds suture them then wrap them. Your assistant may need a tranquilizer while you drive him to the hospital to get your rabies and tetanus shots, and quite possibly psychiatric counseling for trauma received while giving cute, little Fluffy her medicine. After an hour it should be safe to go home. Drop off your poor assistant at his house then go home yourself.
Fluffy should be back to normal by the time you get back, but remember when your petting your cute, purring, little kitty that somewhere in the back of its mind there’s a burning ember for revenge. Sleep easy (yeah right/ watch out for that next hairball). Next time you may plead with the vet to give the cat the medicine she or he prescribed, but like you she or he will not want to give a cat some medicine.

While I was visiting Iraq and giving another speech; just trying to bring peace to Iraq a very disgruntled reporter threw his shoes at me! The president of the USA. Ha! He couldn’t hit me with his first shoe or his second. I have the reflexes of a cat! He just did it for the attention. All I said was that his shoes were a size ten. He shouted This is the end and a farewell kiss you dog. I only found out later that it was a supreme insult in Iraq to through shoes at a person. Heck this is America not Iraq so I don’t care.http://http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=president+George+W.+Bush+gets+shoes+thrown+at+him&docid=964595548736&mid=7BDF41829335162E59D67BDF41829335162E59D6&FORM=VIVR5

Kadalundi river Bridge Collapse in June 2001.

I was on my way to get coffee and donuts, cream is my favorite kind. It was 5:00 on Friday, June 22nd, 2001. I’ll never forget what I saw.
It was an old bridge. I wasn’t surprised it fell. But was surprised when two trains passed easily over it a half an hour before it collapsed. It was a deadly collapse. It killed 59 people, injured more than 200, and 80 were seriously injured. I helped the fishermen, local workers, and the villagers so that is how I found out. We saved a lot of lives, saw three rail road cars in the river. We searched for bodies for two days.
The river was polluted. Some of the villagers had theories why it collapsed—heavy rains, swollen rivers, vibrations from construction work. But I just think it was old.

The Manly, Chocolate-Eating...

He was watching TV in the middle of the night when the phone rang.
"Hello?" he asked, getting up from his junk- food cluttered couch.
"Is this William corelli?" said a gruff, raspy voice.
"Yes," he replied.
"Listen," the voice said. "There's a strange, masked man outside your house."
"What?" exlaimed William. "How would you know? Get off the phone, prankster."
"You must listen," repeated the deep voice. "You must open your door and in the street, there is a man dressed in black. Let him in, and give him all of your chocolate. Do not speak to him, or all will be lost."
"All of my... WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS?" William demanded in frustration, but the voice had already hung up.
To be safe, William called the police. "Hello, you've reached your local station," the robotic operator on the other end of the line said.
"Well," William began, but a loud crash interrupted him. Angrily, he hung up the receiver and went to check outside.
"All will be lost..." came the voice. And suddenly William was thrown off his feet.
A man, dressed in dark clothing, barged in and raided his kitchen. Strawberries and crackers were thrown everywhere as the figure flung open the pantry door and grabbed the chocolate truffles from inside it.
"Get out!" yelled William. The figure stopped, and William clamped a hand over his own mouth.
"You have disobeyed me," said the man. "Now you must face the wrath!" It took off its mask, and in shock, William saw the face behind it.
"Mother?"

One Night

One Night
By Gemma Kummerer

One night while my dad and Poppy were watching the news, my Ama, Mom and I decided to play Scrabble. My mom and I were on a team, and we just put down a word, when the front door opens a crack. “CREEEEK” we heard as the door opens. By the look on our faces, we all thought someone was trying to break in. My Ama hops up and runs to the door to close it. “Get out of here!” Ama screamed. We all got up franticly. My Mom grabbed the gigantic dictionary we were using to play Scrabble, and held it up like a baseball bat ready to throw it at whoever came in.

Everyone’s face was as white as paper, and I about threw up! My Dad ran outside hoping to scare whoever it was away. My Dad ran outside and looked around but there was no one there. “They could not have gotten away that fast,” we all thought. There was silence as the cold wind blew in from the open door. Then my Dad said “I bet you that when I went out to the car to get a water bottle, I didn’t shut the door all the way and the wind blew it open.” That probably is what happened, but I was still a little shaky, and I could not convince myself that everything was ok. That night I kept thinking about it. “You know everything’s all right,” I said to myself. Then I prayed to God, and thanked Him that it was not a bad person trying to break in, and it was just the wind. I asked Him to help me fall asleep, and with a wink of any eye, I was fast asleep.

Don't eat radioactive hotdogs

She had always felt different, but not like she did now after she had eaten a radioactive hot dog. Alicia (for that was her name) was now able to fly, bust through brick walls, and talk faster than a preppy cheerleader. Her parents were a bit nervous about these things; never before had they experienced such incredible talents. bewildered they allowed poor Alicia to be studied by scientists, who poked and prodded her with numerous needles.
Soon the scientists discovered in an X-ray that the radioactive hot dog was disolved in her large intestine. The scientists asked Alicia if she would rather be electrocuted to shock the super powers out of her or be given a very painful operation. Alicia thought about it and made her choise. The scientists couldn't understand her very fast, so they recorded her answer and played it back slowly. I... have... decided... to ...be ... electrocuted. "Well." the scientist said firing up the shocking machine. BAM! There was a huge hole in the table, and No Alicia! "Oh no!" everyone in the lab screamed, wich startled the proffescor working the shocking machine and caused him to be, well you know zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. As they rushed the proffesor to the hospital they began to search for Alicia's remains. Little did they Know Alicia had been cured of all of of her former super powers, but now she had a new one; invisibility. When she first started talking to the scientists in the lab they thought she was a ghost. But they soon figured out that she was alive. They never figured out how to cure poor Alicia, but she now has the perfect Halloween costume. Then one day while crossing a road she was runover by a truck and no one ever knew, except Jasper Cullun who could smell her blood all over the road, because she was invisible.

The wind and the rain

The wind is a mystery that has never been solved. It twist and turns with emotionslocked up inside, riding along with silence. The wind is somethimg people have tried to figure out for years.

Rain.. The rain is a mystery that has always been solved. it poors straight down with
drizzley, light, & heavy emotions. You can always hear it and you know you are just going to have to ride along with it.

The wind is him and i am the Rain.

Edward Cullen Saves the Day

It was strange that nobody had ever noticed before that the teacher had fangs. I looked at the teacher, she gave me an evil fangy smile.
I looked at my hands, they were shaking rapidly. I looked back up. I knew this was going to be a long day.We sat down with a lot of work to do. I grabbed my paper and started working. When all of a sudden a note landed on my desk. It was from the teacher saying'' I will see you after class.
That is when the teacher took off her mask and said'' I have been waiting all year for this. So the teacher opened her mouth and licked her face, arms, and feet. Then the teacher/vampier bit her big toe off and said'' so much blood is coming out.''
Of course the poor horrible tortured little kid wouuld've suffered a bloody, terrible death at the hands of an evil vampire teacher if EDWARD CULLEN had not burst in and intrfired. '' Oh my god,'' shouted the vamire/ teacher '' Its that too hot for his own good vampire from Twilight.'' '' Yes'' replied Edward '' and now before you hurt this little girel I wiil kill you! In a very hot vampiric manner.'' '' Just try it sucker.'' shouted the vampire teacher. '' Ill kill you even if every teen girl on the planet will hate me for it.'' During this exchange of insults between the two vampires. the kid had snuck out when he ran into the teacher's crazzy assistant egor.
He dragged me back into the room where edward ad the teacher were still argueing.
Then Edward won and said to Vica '' I love you.''

the ball

it was sure to be a day like no other as soon as the doorbell rang. i was sitting at home watching tv when all of a sudden the doorbell rang. when i opened the door there was just a ball. when i looked at it said "i will let you keep me if you give me a chiken leg and some fries with ketchup and mustard. i will also not say no to a pack of cheese", said the ball"i love cheese". i had no clue what was going on. all i knew was this was one freaky ball. it was black with 2 purple stripes. i thought out loud,"i wander what those stand for." the ball heard me. it bounced its way inside and annouced that it was evil. oh no i had to get that thing out of my house. i knew the only way was to use my helpful javelin. the ball got out faster than you can say this phrase"on what a lovely day it was until an evil ball came into my house and ate all my food. on do i woe dat ball dat ball dat ball dat ball dat bball dat ball dat dat bally ball evil bally ball ball dat ball." so before i let him get to the door i hit him bruitally with the javelin. i then sat back down to watch tv. the ball then (unexpectadly) bounced back inside. "what was that for " screamed the ball. "i was joking about being evil". "oh my bad" i said and resumed watching tv. "hey" said the ball. "dont ingnore me jerk!" "okay fine what?" i asked in an anoyed voice. "gimme some food. im hungry" replied the ball. "oh and take me to the hospital you almost killed me with a javelin" "oh yea sorry" i said still watching tv. "ill help you later"
She was watching tv in the middle of the night when the phone rang and the person on the phone said got milk and she said yes. Then the person said answer your front door it was the person on the phone. After that the person came in and stole everything in her house and took the lady outside and tied her to the tree. She lived out in the country so noone heard her scream. Then she got bored so she just started singing opera. Later a bird came cause it heard her so the bird declared "I am Jamie mighty lord of nature! What is your dilema?"

Dear Futurely Extinct Fourth Grader......

Dear Futurely Extinct Fourth Grader,
This next year will be one you'll never forget, so here are some tips to overcome the challenges:

TIP ONE:
Teachers often have only a good side and a bad side.
If you get on their bad side, sleep with one........ or two eyes open.
She will be out to get you!

TIP TWO:
Never do your homework or projects. If
you do them, you'll be a "good example" and
the teacher expects you to be the smartest.

TIP THREE:
Ask your teacher dumb questions and respond
to her questions with, "Huh?" and a dull look.

TIP FOUR:
Skip school when your toe hurts or if you have a
mosquito bite, because, of course, your health is the
highest priority for your teachers.

Hope this helps,
Helena

The Garden by Helena and Gemma

The Garden

Narrator: Flower: Tree:
A tree and a flower
stand in the garden.
Oh! How beautiful I am!
Look how my petals
Gleam in the sun!
Oh! How contraire
My puny little friend!
For I am strong and blow
In the wind!
The humans pick me
Put me in beautiful
vases. They love me!
Oh but how I am so helpful
in helping them breath.
Without me, there would be nobody
to put you in pretty vases you see.
But, but, but, I'm, I..... I um
have petals.
Yes, I know but that doesnt change
anything.
They continue to
argue day after day.
Ummmmmmmmmm.
Haha! You have run out of things to
say.
Then the tree got
struck by lightening.
Don't you see,
Nothing can destroy me!
Shortly after, the tree falls
on the flower. I guess they
learned their lesson.

Dear Hardworking 4th grader,

Don't be scared about your 5th grade, be horrified! Here are a few tips to keep you from your death bed. Tip one: Don't avoid homework, whether it is studying for a test or completing a project. DO IT! or be prepared to stay inside on your only five minuets of free time. Tip two: Stay away from humiliation- don't do any thing that you might trip and fall or your next nick-name will be "see you next fall" or "did you have a nice trip." Tip three: Follow all rules or you will get dirty looks from the teachers all year- how fun! So have a nice year and I will be at your funeral.

Love,
Gemma

Where I'm From By Helena

Where I'm From

I'm from the house in Hawaii,
And drinking juice with Tala.
I'm from the waves crashing on the beach,
And daily rainbows.

I'm from the yellow house on Kolping Strasse,
From Kim across the street,
And the secret passage through the bamboo,
At the playground.

I'm from the blue rented house,
And Pacific Oaks.
From the Safe Way close by,
and the rocky beach two streets down.

I'm from fire ants on the hot streets,
A big house with a twin in Savannah.
I'm from my dad's omelets and walks to school,
From playing Indians,
And swimming in the sun.

Letter to the [Possible] Survivor

Do Not exit this blog. I mean it, your life could depend on this. Here lies everything you need to know to make it through middle school.
1) Do not agitate any older sports members; this could result in permanent back and/or rib injuries
2) Do NOT sing on ANY bus rides unless you wish to create a long-term chorus group with no harmony and/or rhythm
3) Be careful when announcing things that don't make sense, especially if you are near a busy hallway. Just trust me
4) Do not yell particularly disgusting things during silent lunch, even if it is a "whisper"
5) Equipt yourself wisely with backup drinking straws. you never know when you might need one. TIP: newspaper works best for spitballs
6) Do not tap on a desk; it could soon turn into a classroom percussion orchestra. Strange and possibly embarrassing noises also apply to this rule.

Atom Bomb

wake up in the morning
the son does his chores
across the street a house burns down
the iron was left on the door
inside the house the parents rest
and the children play war
may miles away
on a distant shore
a soilder draws his last breath
while his baby girl is born

ain't it ironic
how we want are kid kept safe
when we'll gladly kill anothers with the atom bomb
ain't it ironic
how we think it's funny
that the bank got robbed

i go too sleep at night
thoughts of peace in my head
when the homless boy
makes a bench into bed
the next day we hear the news
of how the lost kid is found
we thank god with all our hearts
while another child drowns
many miles away a red fox is torn
by the huntsmens hounds

ain't it ironic
how we want our kid kept safe
when we'll gladly kill anothers with the atom bomb
ain't it ironic
how we think it's funny
that the bank got robbed

Fortunately

Fortunately, I am heading up Youth Writing Project this summer!
Unfortunately, we only have five writers so far.
Fortunately, I'm writing this one week before we start, so maybe there'll be more kids by next week.
Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing.
Fortunately, I don't care how many kids there are! We'll write and have a great time.
Unfortunately, I'm lying. I want lots of writers in the project. I want lots of young people to write and love to write.
Fortunately, there are five young people in Albany who want to spend four days writing.
Unfortunately, there are dozens more who associate writing with school, with tests, with red marks on their paper. Dozens who'd rather stick needles in their eyes (I stole that line from a movie) than put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard?)Fortunately, there is Writing Project. And Writing Project teachers (like me) whose mission is to spread the love of writing to young people all over the United States of America.
Unfortunately, a lot of people have never heard of Writing Project.
Fortunately, Darton College is hosting a YWP this summer.
Unfortunately, only five young people have signed up so far.
Fortunately, five is better than four! And a lot better than zero!

However many you are, WELCOME to your YWP 2009!
