Tom knocks over tree
HARD! HAR HAR
CHRISTMAS!
It was just before
Christmas one year. I
really don't remember it
that well but this is how it
went.
Our cat had kittens a
few w eks before
Chr' as and we wanted
to ke one. I think his
name w Tom. He was a
mischief maker.
We .a1Ways put up our
Christmas tree about a
week before Christmas,
and, it happened Tom was
still a kitten. We had our
presents under the tree
already. We're always
careful to put the class
balls out of harms
danger. This year it
didn't matter. You know
'why? If that darn kitten
didn't climb up that tree
and knock it over. Bang!
Chash!
What a startled kitten!
A couple of balls brook
thats all. It .sure was
funny, that little kitten
Tom (the big mischief
maker! )

I was playing with my

mad I din't even want to
see them I through them

After that I nevered

track. It was nice but
cheep.. .

THE FUNNIEST
CHRISTMAS'
T'was the day before
Christmas. When I' was
out at my sister's place in
Carlow, my sister and I
were decorating the
Christmas tree, with
ornaments and Christ-
mas lights. Once the tree
fell over and we had a
hard fime getting -it back
up! Most of the Christ-
mas ornaments fell off. It
took two and a half hours
to put it back up.
Then all of a sudden
Porky, Debbie's dog
came through the window
and went charging for the
Christmas tree. All of a
sudden CRASH _ the
r
•
Christmas tree was all
over the floor. A lot of the
needles had fallen out and
many of decorations were
broke.
Porky was jellous
because everybody
wasn't paying any at-
tention to Porky and
Porky didn't get his
lunch.
Next time we will
remember to feed Porky
his supper.

THE BEST THING
I GOT ON
CHRISTMAS
On Christmas the best
thing I got was, modelling
material, an Art kit, and
drawing paper. I was so
happy that I got them..I
almost used allthe paper.
When I used one of my
modelling material my
brother and I did a little
old lady,lut I didn't kiiow
what to do with the other
part. With my art I used
some clay and made a
rabbit, and with th(
paints I painted a picture
that my mom really
Iiked. I was so happy I
almost used everything
up. This Christmas I hope
to get some more Art
things again.

One Christmas at my
place at night. I saw
Santa but I look again I
saw some deers. I was so
happy. But later when I
was seven years old I
knew there was no kind of
person as Santa and his
deers. But I was happy
because that I think I s_aw
him.

Was it really a dream?
A DREAM?
On Christmas Eve, I
went to • bed and fell
asleep Iwoke up to find
my friend and I at the
North Pole, were it was
real cold! We started
walking until we came to
a big castle. "That must
;be Santa'`s", I said.
"But there is no Santa
Claus," said Billy. We
walked in the castle after
the argument and saw a
very fat, jolly, snoring
'man. "See, I told you so,"
I said.
"I guess your right,"
said Billy "there is a
Santa." Next was the
main room, there was a
long scroll with lot's of
kid's name in
alphebettical order. We
went down the list to find
everybody's name on it.
Then we saw Santa
loading his -sleigh. We got
a ride in his sliegh.

ARTHRITIS
1 am a miniature battle ground
Where warring demons still abound,
In every joint I feel them pound,
Why is it worse at night.
I've yet to smoke or take a drug,
I'm not a victim of the jug,
This gnawing arthritic bug
is what 1 have to fight,
I must be bad and full of sin
For angry devils try within -
To push my bones out through my skin,
.A most depressing sight.
How does one fight this wall to wall pain,
At times 1 think 1'11 go insane,.
But 1 get up and try again,
When dawn dispells the night.
Can't tie my shoes or comb my hair,
1'd sit and cry, then silently swear,
My days were filled with deep despair,
AND THEN TO MY DELIGHT!!
I met a doctor who set me free
From pain and immobility,
His medications and therapy,
Will be by guiding light.
