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.
