Mt. Carmel School Doings The Planet of Pee By Kim Walterkias, grade 6 I walked out the door early one morn, Just to see if the flowers had thorns, But suddenly inside me I felt myself go, And in five minutes I was on the Planet Poe. I met this little green guy with bright orange hair, And then it invited me to a snitgle fair 1 asked what a snitgle was, it answered me with glee A snitgie is a humanoid that thinks it's like me.
