The Funny Noise

by Anani Schauermann

Soon it was time for Ann to go back to the house.  She was so cold.  In the house her mom had hot chocolate waiting.  'Yum, yum,'  said Ann.  Just then Ann heard a noise.  It was coming from outside.  At first Ann was scared because it sounded like a fire alarm.  But it was a snow machine.  When she looked out it was just her neighbor snow machining.

Wishing you a merry Christmas!

Which Is Better?

by Jeffrey Schauermann


     We do our school,
Lazy and slow,
     Getting nowhere,
School is our foe.


     Or do our school,
Faster than fast,
     Getting somewhere,
Our foe we cast.

Jack had a cat,
Cat had a name,
Cat's name was Nat.

Mat had a dog,
Dog had a hat.

Baby

by Jeffrey Schauermann

Babies crying like mad,
     Saying, "I am hungry."
Babies slurping like mad,
     Saying, "Now I'm not sad. "
Babies snoring like mad,                                                                                                                          
     Whispering, "Time to sleep."

Ann In the Snow

by Anani Schauermann

One winter night Ann was with her mom watching a movie.  She had no clue that the night would bring snow.  When she got in bed she put some clothes on the floor so when she got up in the morning  she could dress quickly and go to school.  Meanwhile it was snowing outside.  In the morning the snow  was one foot deep.  Ann just woke up and got dressed.  "Burr it's cold," said Ann as she went downstairs.  Ann ate and then went outside to wait for the bus."It snowed,"said Ann.  That means I have no school.  She made a snowman and snow angel.

Rain

by Jeffrey Schauermann

Pitter pat, pitter pat,

     The rain comes down, down, down.

Pitter pat, pitter pat,

     Umbrellas like a frown.

Pitter pat, pitter pat,

     Tapping on our one roof.

Pitter pat, pitter pat,

     The rain is gone like poof.

Snow

by Jeffrey Schauermann


Here come the snowflakes,
     Soft fluffy and white.
The little boy makes,
     A snowman tonight.


The sun comes out,
     The snow melts away,
A hat, nose and scarf,
     On the ground lay.

The Weather

 by Anani Schauermann 


    The river is quick,
The sailing is good,
    The ground is slick,
And sing I could.

   The mills are spinning,
The fast wind is good,
   The trees are swirling,
And sing I would.

But I am brave,

As a sharp prong,

In a dark cave,

The wind is strong.

Hurricane

by Jeffrey Schauermann

The wind is howling,

     Hurricane prowling

The sirens are sounding,

     Hurricane is pounding,

The houses are crashing,

     Hurricane is thrashing,

Now the hurricane is gone,

      And the people sing a song.

Chickens

by Jeffrey Schauermann

And bugs are fleeting.

Others run away.

And they find nothing sour,

What they find is blunt,

They give up the hunt.

Four Seasons

Four Seasons

by Jeffrey Schauermann

The seed is cradled high,

Cradled in the sky,

Fallen to the ground,

Never to be found.

The thee grows tall,

And loses leaves in fall,

The snow makes big leaps,

And ends in big heaps.

It's time for spring,

And leaves turn green,

The boy has fun,

In the hot sun.

At the Beach

by Jeffrey Schauermann

I go to the beach,

  And get bit by a leech,

As we play, play, 

   All through the day.  

In the Forest

by Jeffrey Schauermann

The ivy is dying,

   The floor is growing,

The squirrels run on tiptoes,

   The boy is mowing.

Straw is spread,

   watch for tread,

Amongst the trees,

   Is the squirrels bread.

The water downstream,

   The deer comes to drink,

Birds float above,

The farmer has his hog drink.
