An Eclectic Collection of WordsScooby Dooby Doo,Where Are You?Noor BhandalBurnaby Mountain SecondaryGrade 8 PoetryWith its carpet covered walls,The room is filled with children,And their unwashed hands.Art projects have gone astray.As I walk across the classroom,My sweaty feet stomp over the mess.Our stumpy old teacher is shouting ournames."Jenna! Zachary! Kenny! Don't you darespill that paint young man!"Me. Me, I'm just waiting for that minutehand to turn to the six.As everyone does their share of clean-uptime,I sit there in that little plastic chair,Clutching my Scooby Doo lunchbox.Running my hands over the patterns of hisface.The bell rings and I turn to leave.I run out the door and into my mother'sarms.A DelicacyElena HsuBurnaby South SecondaryGrade 8 PoetrySome may think of friendship,Forever lasting bonds,Some may think of doves,For freedom and beyond.Some may think of riches,Past all sense of reality,Some may think of fame,Universally and theatrically.Some may think of glory,Taken from a blood feud,Although you may call me a pig,I however, think of food.I just love the mouth watering taste,My tongue tingling with glee,Savouring all of it,I hope you don't disagree.If I was a beggar,I would ask for an apple from Peru,With a Bacon n' EggerAnd a side dish of beef stew.If I was a millionaire,I would ask for spaghetti with steak,With meat balls galore,And strands of noodles, like snakes.Freshly baked bread from France,Is quite a pleasure,With sunny side eggs on top,Would be such a delicate treasure.Deep fried food is paradise,Bacon, chicken, doughnuts and fries,Crunchy snacks with lots of fat,Are great like blueberry pies.A closet of junk food,Everlasting ice cream,Dancing chips and soda fountains,Every kid's dream.Creamy, soft cheesecake,Has a cookie crunch,Dark, sweet chocolate cakeGoes great with your punch.As I sit here looking at the clock,Not paying any attention,My mind jam-packed of food,Out flew a chalk with a pass to detention.WORDS Writing Project 2008/09 24
