Pineapple and Logan

  Pineapple and Logan are best friends.  They get into a fight over a cd walkman, Pineapple says it is hers because her mom bought it for her.  Logan thought it was hers because her mom bought it for her.  Both of their moms said "cut it out, stop fighting."  Logan's mom said she "bought a red one and this one is red."  Logan gave back the walkman and said I'm sorry Pineapple.  Then they went and played make believe that Pineapple was the oldest and Logan was the youngest even though they were the same age.

The Pony and the Hummingbird

  The pony was walking through the forest and stopped when she heard a hummingbird sound.  She looked around to see what it was.  She saw a hummingbird flying over a pond.  The humming bird asked the pony what her name was and the pony said "Crystal".  The pony asked "What's your name?" The Hummingbird said "My name is Hummy the hummingbird".  The pony asked Hummy "Do you want to come to my stable?"  Hummy said "Of course, but first I got to get some stuff" and went to the stable but the stable gate was locked.  Crystal was a very small pony so Hummy went to  the Eagle and asked "Can you carry Crystal over the gate?"  Then the Eagle carried Crystal over the gate with Hummy by her side.  Then Hummy collected some food for Crystal and herself.  Then they grew up nd Hummy flew over the gate.  Crystal was big now so she could jump over the gate, so she did.

Skating

Surfing on the cement
street
Don't go skating with
bare feet
Kickflip overturned
garbage cans
Your favorite music?
Heavy metal bands
When your on the deck
you feel amped
The city streets are your ramp
Learn from experience what not to do
And you'll be a pro when your through.

The Big Game

  A contingent of local football fans went to the Bay Are for a 49er-Steeler football game.  Bird, Harry, Kathy and Pete arrived 3 hours early for the game and tailgate party.  They had a tri-tip lunch while Bird serenaded the fans with songs of love for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
  All of our locals did not sit together as they bought tickets at different times.  Throughout the game Bird's enthusiasm for the Steelers was not appreciated by the surrounding 49er fans.  He was threatened and pelted with various objects.  Our beloved music teacher was saved from physical harm by the presence of his very large friend, Chief.
  Harry was quoted as saying, "The game was great, it was so exciting!"  Bird and Chief stayed until the end of the game, despite the pounding the Steelers took in the  30-14 49er win.
