Grade 3 original poem, Lindsay Kulas, Turnberry Central School MY PUP -- COOKIE Cookie is my cute little pup. To other dogs, she must look up. She has short legs and floppy ears, And there's nothing that she fears. She's part beagle, so likes to hunt, Of the litter, she was the runt., Off to the bush each day she goes, To secret spots that no one knows. At the door we hear a wee scratch. Quickly I run to lift the latch. On her chain she takes a rest, I think she is the very best.

Your beautiful smile, ' Lit up my each and every day, Then you grew into a child, And learned how to play. I can remember you asking me, "Please come outand play,". I can remember me answering, "I'm too busy today" I can remember the disappoint- ment, In your eyes, I can remember you turned away, I can remember your sigh. Now that you are old,er, Now that I arn too, I wish I would have taken the time, To spend more time with you.

When they were walking, the little boy saw an enormous egg. He showed his mom and she said that it was a duck's egg. He asked if he could keep the egg and put it in an incu- bator to keep -it warm. His mom said, "Sure". In 28 days, the little boy heard a peep -peep -peep in the incubator. He lookiki, and there he saw the egg was cracking. He yelled for his mom to come. So she came running down the hall. The boy took the duckling out of the incubator and dried it off. Then the day came for the little boy to teach the duckling how to swim. Whenever he put him hi,ther, water the duckling sank to the bot- tom. Well! That duckling grew and he grew, he grew till he was a big duck. Well, he folloWed the boy everywhere he went. When the boy went to watch TV, the duck went, too. When the little boy went to take a warm bath, the duck had a bath, too! Then one day the boy was very sad, The duck was getting too big to stay in the little boy's closet. So he went down to the river and kissed the duck goodbye and put him in the water. But the duck didn't want to go in the water. So the little boy took the duck back home and said to his mom that he didn't want to go in the water. His mom said they would go to the hardware store and buy a little pool for the duck to swim in. When they got home they built a great big house for the duck to sleep in. When they were finished they put the duck in it. If you find a duck egg always take care of it and you'll know what will happen.
