THE AIRPLANE By Rowena Bastin Bennett.

An airplane has gigantic wings

    But not a feather on her breast;

She only mutters when she sings

    And builds a hangar for a nest.

I love to see her stop and start;

    She has a little motor heart 

That beats and throbs and then is still.

    She wears a fan upon her bill.

No eagle flies through sun and rain

    so swiftly as an airplane.

I wish she would come swooping down

    Between the steeples of the town

And lift me right up off my feet

    And take me high above the street,

That all the other boys might see 

    The little speck that will be me.

CONS: Grievous is FINALLY allowed to kill a Jedi, and its with a BLASTER.

THE POEM OF THE DAY

Draw a crazy picture
Write a nutty poem
Sing a mumble, gumble song
Whistle through your comb
Do a loony, goony dance
Cross  the kitchen floor
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before -Jane

History-they come from the border area of England, Wales, and Scotland. In a 1873 sheep dog trial, it was noted that a dog named Old Hemp, herded using "the eye" rather than barking or nipping. This impressed the shepherds of that time and Hemp be came the father of the Border Collie; later when a standard was drawn up no rules where made addressing looks, just work type. It was brought to the U.S. in 1915.

Work- the Border Collie is used when there is plenty of herding to do; this is not a weekend farmer’s dog.

Notes-

Availability-not all that high on the A.K.C. ranking, but breeders raise them for work not show. Very easy to find.

WINDY NIGHT By Robert Louis Stevenson

Whenever the moon and stars are set;

    Whenever the wind is high,

All might long in the dark and wet,

    A man goes riding by.

Late in the night when the fires are out,

    Why does he gallop and gallop about?

Whenever the trees are crying aloud ,

     And ships are tossed at sea,

By, on the highway, low and loud,

    By at the gallop he goes, and then

By he comes back at the gallop again.

Top 5 Herbs in My Family

5. Rose- Its name came from Latin. It can come in most of the colors. Its family is the Rosaceae. There are 100 species. They are beautiful. A single red rose means love and yellow means friendship. Rose is an astringent. Hips are good for soothing and are high in vitamin C. Many people really like the scent.


4. Burdock is good for pulling out things like a splinter. My family puts it in our salve. Don't make a tea out of it. Helps cleanse the blood.


3. Steveia is good for sweet in tea and stuff. And it's not like sugar so its healthier.


2. Peppermint is good for stomachaches. You use it in teas or candy. And its stem is square.


1. Camomile puts you to sleep and soothes you.

OK, bye.

Fred's Star Wars the Clone wars reviews: R2 lost arc

During the battle of Bothawui, R2-D2, who contains the Republic's military plans, is lost in space.  both the Republic and CIS attempt to hunt him down, while Ashoka and Anakin have to deal with his replacement.

Downfall of A droid

PROS: The Republic uses tanks to attack Separatist capital ships. That was really awesome.

CONS: R3-S6 could only be a more obvious traitor if you literately wrote traitor him.(?) also, Ashoka is (big surprise) annoying.

VERDICT: 5/10

Duel of the droids

PROS: For anyone who was annoyed by season 1 Ashoka, it is very satisfying to see her lose against Grievous. Also, the action gets some upgrades from last episode.

CONS: R3-S6 was a bad guy? really? I never would have guessed.

VERDICT: 6/10

FAREWELL TO THE FARM, BY Robert Louis Stevenson.

The coach is at the door at last;

    The eager children, mounting fast

And kissing hands, in chorus sing; 

    Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

To house and garden, field and lawn,

    The meadows-gates we swung upon,

To pump and stable, tree and swing

    Good-bye, good-bye, to everything. 

And fare you well for evermore,

    O ladder at the hayloft door,

O hayloft where the cobweb cling,

    Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

Crack goes the whip, and off we go,

    The trees and houses smaller grow;

Last, round the woody turn we swing,

    Good-bye, good-bye, to everything.

ANIMAL CRACKERS By Christopher Morley.

Animal crackers, and cocoa to drink,

    That is the finest of suppers, I think;

When I'm grown up and can have what I please

    I think I shall always insist upon these.

When do you choose when you're offered a treat?

    When Mother says, "What would you like best to eat?"

Is it waffles and syrup, or cinnamon toast?

    It's cocoa and animals that I love the most!

The kitchen's the coziest place that I know;

    The kettle is singing, the stove is aglow,

And there in the twilight, how jolly to see 

    The cocoa and animals waiting for me.

Daddy and Mother dine later in state,

    With Mary to cook for them, Susan to wait;

But they don't have nearly as much fun as I

    Who eat in the kitchen with Nurse standing by;

And Daddy once said he would like to be me

    Having cocoa and animals once more for tea!

Adventures Chapter 2

Adventures, Chapter 2



It was dark in his own head, not to mention boring, so he left. Everything was wight. Two men was talking in a corner.

"...He has been in a coma for three years, i don't think there's much chance of him waking up now."

"who are you talking about..." mumbled Cole. One of them turned towards him and Cole instantly recognized him. it was his friend, Cadon. "Hi. What are you two doing in my house?"

Cadon looked hesitate to talk but said... (proper way to write this: said, "We are...
"we are not in your house. Were in the hospitable." Cole looked at Cadon and the other man (He could tell he was a doctor) and sighed, he did not like the hospitable at all.

“why am I here?” He asked.

“you don't remember?” Cadon replied.

“not in the foggiest!”

“a missile went off course and landed in Hangton Valley.”

“ouch...”

“To say the lest, your lucky to be alive!”

“Good. Still lucky then, its boring being in a coma! Anyways... how long do I have to stay here?” Cole asked the doctor.

“Until we are sure you wont have a relapse.” the doctor replied.

“Meaning?...” replied Cole trying to get a more precise answer.

“A week or so, if your lucky.”

“Good, I'm lucky”

The week passed very uneventfully to Cole's surprise they let him out 3 days early.

Cadon came by to pick him since Cole didn't have a car or license(it expired). On the way to cadons house Cadon told him about a package the came for him today.

“...It was a sword! Why did they send me a sword? It was sent to the right address, I checked that 3 times! Weird right?”

“your vary talkative today. But that is strange alright...” Cole then told him what he remembered from the crash 3 years ago, including about the sword. “...and then I blacked out.”

“The sword is following you!” Cadon replide.

“Maybe...”

“I wasn't series you know.”

“I know your not Harry's god father!”

Cadon shook-ed his head and turned the car into the driveway.

Inside was another surprise for them both, a man was standing in the front room.

Rookies

PROS: Great action scenes (As should be expected by now.) and a well paced story.

CONS: Domino squad is quickly bumped down from five members to three and although Heavy gets a heroic death, the other two die like red shirts.

VERDICT: 8/10 (One of the best first season episodes.)
