The Works of Allison Judy

A few weeks ago Alli brought home a booklet of poems she had written in her 3rd grade class. On the inside she dedicated the book like this:

To: My teacher, Mrs. Maloney and my friend who taught me to believe in myself.

Too funny, sure wish I taught her to believe in herself.

Anyways I read through these poems and was thoroughly impressed with the witt that were in some of them. I've copied a few for the enjoyment of her posterity.

Teachers

Teachers say to do your best and always come to school.

So I did exactly what she said.

I came to school on Saturday like she said but no teacher was there.

I'm beginning to think I don't have to be here every day,

Zoo

The zoo thinks it has everything like, tigers, monkeys, and giraffes.

But one thing they don't have is a picky little sister,

the rarest creature of all!

Lines

The teacher says they go on forever as she believes.

But I followed the line on my paper and yet I'm still in my seat!

Also this week Alli had to read a biography and do an oral report. She has been obsessed with the Titanic this year, telling me all sorts of grim facts about it, and so I told her about the Unsinkable Molly Brown and she was able to find a book on her.

So we got her all dressed up for the part, isn't she the spitting image of Molly Brown? I was so proud of her she learned her part and practiced saying funny words like 'woo-wee' and 'hi all' and said it in her best Southern Belle accent she could muster up.

Anyways here is a little clip of her impersonation, sorry its sideways.
