First Spring Biking
Tom and I were bored to death "Nothing to do!" Tom exclaimed. "1
wish our mini -bike was not broken" I said with a sigh.
Then my brain had a great idea, as usual. Tom shouted in my face
"You always get the great ideas!" "Let's get our bikes out and fix them
up!" I said excitedly.
We raced to the barn, brought them down from the wall and walked
them to the garage.
"This one is musty, rusty, and it has a flat tire," Tom said
disappointedly. We finally got them fixed. It was a real job, broken
chains, bent handle bars, a missing pedal, an eaten away seat, and oil,
grease, plus mess.
It took us all morning and then some! We were biking for a long time
until Tom started on the wrong side of our course. I was riding down and
crash. Tom ran into me. I took the remaining pieces of bikes and put
them away.
Tom and I sat down on the steps "Gosh I'm bored!" Tom said. "Me
too!"
Every morning
Every morning 1 get up to the bright
yellow sun. I jump out of bed and get into
my blue coveralls. I run downstairs to the
kitchen to get my bowl and my spoon. Nice
delicious cereal's good in the morning!
Than 1 go down to the barn. Dad feeds the
pigs, while Mom sees if any sows are in
heat. That means a sow needs to be bred.
After Mom has bred the sows we go and
check the sows that may farrow. 1 pat a
little pig with a brown body and black
floppy ears. Are they CUTE! Thats how
my morning begins!

The Gambler
He plays the markets, hoping to win
But half the time doesn't make anythin;
He has his equipment to help hint along
But often times something goes wrong.
Who is this Gambler I'm talking about?
Why I'm sure you know one inside -out
He works long hours. rain or shine
There's always something he has in mind
There is no end of work to be done
Whether winter's blast or summer's sun.
I'm sure by now you know who this is
about.
The farmer is a gambler, now the news is
out.
