KAVANAGH HORROR-SCOPES
By Hope Robertson and Keady Doherty.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Beware Thursdays. This is the day when you will forget your lunch. Mars is extra red this term, therefore
the stars suggest you make it the previous night and stick a post-it note on your forehead as a reminder. (All term)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will experience success later this term. Although you may think study will hinder other activities
(eating, sleeping…) it will be worth it in the end.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Watch out for seagulls near the 11th. Ham sandwiches attract them. On the brighter side, good fortune
will bring $3.45 your way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): A ‘classroom romance’ will sweep you off your feet , so take care of the stairs (especially in the Mercy
Block).
LEO (July 23-August 22): Happy days are yours in the week of the 22nd, as a new look or purchase (possibly a new 1B5?) will bring
attention your way.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Take care in the cold weather. Prevailing winds could cause a sore throat, ear infection or an
unexpected kilt flash.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Try your hardest not to offend the sun god. He may not show his face for a long time and your
village’s crops will fail.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Near the 15th, you will lose your favourite pen. CONTROL YOUR ANGER! Like most things
in life, this is only a temporary disturbance.
SAGITTARIUS (Novemebr 22-Decemebr 21): Free your mind! Be open to many new things, such as music, sport and culture. But
remember: don’t party too hard: hugs, not drugs.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Curiosity gets the better of you and your experiments in teachers’ anger thresholds will go
horribly wrong.
AQUARIUS (January 20- February 18): Keep your shirts tucked in. Teachers with names ending in the letter “y” will be on the prowl.
PISCES (February 19- March 20): A saucy look from a hot classmate will give you a boost near the 30th. Follow this; it could bring
inspiration.

7BRC GO MAD
ON METAPHORS
The Lava Lamp by Carie Jewiss
A rocket full of lava
I stare at it every night
Wondering if it will take off
With every blob
Its power grows for the day
It will blow
It is quite evil
With blobbing noises
I hear and it gets hot
Out in the night
The lava burns and sizzles
It scares me
The Fireplace by Luke Martin
The mouth of a roaring red and orange monster
That sucks the victim in. And burns until it’s cooked.
Then he swallows it and leaves only ash behind.
Then it gets tired and lets down the flame.
Until it is gone and no life is left.
And then it’s dark.
And the night has died.
The Tree by Emma Clark
Stepping into the street outside my door,
they start the day with a tremendous roar.
They send their arms swinging through the air
Tugging and pulling at my messed up hair.
I look up and see so many bones
With their hissing and howling making hideous tones.
The Washing Machine by Georgia Dunbar
One sunny Sunday morning
A mean machine swallows up all my clothes
Spins them round and round
Then spits them out
All out on the floor
All wet and soggy.
A Monster in the Dishwasher by Caitlin McLellan
I think there’s a monster in the dishwasher with a big
appetite for scraps.
We feed it children from a box.
I think he really likes them: we feed him a lot.
I don’t ever see the monster but I do see its long silver
tongue
And when I open the door, the dishes are clean
and warm from the monster’s warm tongue.
But what’s that? The monster is angry. Look a this eyes.
HELP! I AM NOT PUTTING THESE DISHES AWAY!
