The Gift From the Old

By Brooklyn Frey

On one day

All snowy white

In came an old  man

Way past daylight

—

He asked for a drink

A piece of bread too

And after his meal

He said, “God bless you”

—

By morning

All the snow had gone

But by lunch

It was going on and on

—

The man came back

But with a sack

Made of silk

And threads of gold

—

He said to me, “Please, take this bag”

And I could not say no

Inside, I was surprised to see

A small, little pug just for me

—

I said, “Thank you, kind sir!”

But he left, quick as lightning

I then went into my house

Because it was ever so frightening

And yet, so very exciting!

The Life of A King

By Brooklyn Frey

There once was a king named Jarriet

He loved to ride in his chariot

His wife Lucicada

Really loved him a lot-a

But his servant named Scott did not

—

“Servant Scott!” said the king,

“Go bring me some tea!”

And Scott could not

Say no

—

So Scott brought the king tea

“From the cupboard!” said he

But there really was poison inside

—

So Scott killed the king

And he lept

And he sang

And he ran off

With the king’s bride

Camera

Life is like a camera

Just focus on what’s important

And capture the good times…

Develop from the negatives

And if things don’t work out…

Just take another shot.
