the best vacation ever

My dad and I drove with our dog,tinkles, for ten years until we reached a peanut-covered cabin in the middle of the mall. There was nothing around for miles but hungry Elephants! How would I survive without my stamp collection? As soon as we arrived, An avalanche of ketchup started falling from the sky! Five hours later the storm had covered our ant farm up to the windows! We couldn't even open the microwave popcorn! "now what?" I whined. My Dad burped and started piling tacos into the fireplace. That night we roasted bubbles over the bathroom sink and told boring stories until the dog and I fell asleep in our hamburger buns. The next afternoon the roads were finally made of bubble gum. So we hopped backwards to the city. Staying at the cabin had been so bug-infested that we decided to make it a family tradition, But next time I think I'll bring a bulldozer, Just in case. by katie

"one,two buckle my shoe."
"buckle your own shoe!"
"who said that?"
"I did. What are yo doing with those
silly buckles on your shoes anyway?"
"three, four, shut the door."
"you shut it! you opened it!"
"five, six, pick up sticks."
"you do it! do you think I'm your slave?
buckle my shoe,shut the door, pick up sticks,
the next thing you'll be telling me to do is
lay them strait!"
"but it's only a poem. Nine, ten, a big fat... oh, never mind."
