The Night Before Christmas

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the century before Christmas, and all through the mansion,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a moa.
The caps were hung by the sofa with care,
In hopes that St. Dave soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their piliows,
While visions of sugar-onions danced in their arms.
And enemy in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
touched open the shutters, and washed up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-second to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But a wet potato, and eight tiny hippopotami.

With a little old driver, so lively and creapy,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Dave.
More rapid than turtles his hippopotami they came,
And he whistled, and sniffled, and called them by name;

"Now, Dasher! Now, Jeff! Now, Banana and Vixen!
On, Dude! On Kiwi! On, Hat and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the carrot!
Now shaved away! Shaved away! Shaved away all!"

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the sofa St. Dave came with a bound.

His eyes -- how they plummeted! His dimples, how embarrassing!
His fingers were like waffles, his toung like a potato!

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
And filled all the caps, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his byseps aside of his chest,
And giving a nod, up the sofa he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a boom,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good century!"

How a bongos makes sound

The sound from the bongos is created by your palm hitting the bongos causing the air inside the bongos to vibrate creating a sound. To make the higher sound you tighten the edges of the drum tightening the skin making a higher pitch. To make a lower sound you loosen the edges to make a lower note. They are joint  instruments one small and one big, the reason that there are two is so you don't have to change the pitch while your playing.

Hiwi The Kiwi

He yelled "dad!"

Dad replied confused "what?"

"Where's your life jacket?" Said the kid.

"Remember I'm a tough swimmer,"says dad.

"But Hiwi the Kiwi said no matter how tough you are, always wear a life jacket."

"Ok. Let's go"

2 hours later...

"I've got one, I've got one, quickly, it feels like a whopper, hold the rod," shouted dad.

"Ok," said the kid, "what are you doing?"

"What did I do this time" exaggerated dad.

"You have to wet the towel incase the fish is too big or too small, and you have to gently put it back in the water."

"But why do you have to wet the towel?" Asked the dad.

"So that if you do have to put it back in the water, you won't take of any of it scales off and it won't get infected and die in the water," explained the kid.

"Ok, I got it, I got it, oh it's a big one alright," gladly said dad.

"Put it down now, it too big, it might have babies inside of it," replied the kid.

"That means more for me," exaggerated dad.

"Put it back now," shouted the kid.

"Ok, calm down," said dad.

"What are you doing," yelled the kid.

"What now?"  replied dad.

"You have to gently push it in to the sea, you can't throw it, it might get damaged," explained the kid.

"Ok I think that's enough fishing for today, you've taught me lots," said dad.

He yelled,"Move!" As he witnessed the two cars collide and create a collision.

You can smell the smoke rising from the two cars, feel the hot blazing heat, see the melting metal.

"Help, help me please!" I could hear yelling from the distance

I realised the person was still alive, I called the ambulance and reported the accident. I sprinted to the car and pulled her out, she was badly wounded, she had past out from the crash, it looked like she was in a trance of a deep sleep. I felt like there was nothing I can do, all I could do was cover her wound and pray.

I hear sirens coming from the distance, I look around and I see these flashing lights. It was the ambulance. I stood up and waved my hands yelling, "over here!"

We rushed her to the ambulance and drove her to the hospital. We finally got there, the surgeons were yelling, "emergency, emergency!"

We rushed her to the ward. The surgeons said I could not go past here so once again I had to pray.

It was a miracle, the surgeons said we made it just in time. They said it was lucky I covered her wound or else it would've been infected and she would have died.

"It was just lucky I was in the right place at the right time,"said the man.

Angry Birds Revenge

In the morning, in the beautiful rain forest as the sun shines against the sparkling grass, there are three feathery birds who would do anything to protect there three little eggs. As they hear a giant roar from the distance, it was the one of kind the king pig.

Slowly the king pig made it through the plains with his piggy minions and he was planning on stealing the eggs for food.

"Ahhhhh!" yelled the king pig, he stepped on a thorn and fell on other thorns.

"Owe!" shouted the big pig. While he was picking thorns from his butt, they came across angry birds.

Chhhhhh boom as the bomb bird tries to be heroic and blows up trying to protect the eggs from the pigs, the angry birds were willing to do anything to protect the eggs. They jumped in to the sling shot and fire bosh, boom, bamb.

But while they were distracted some of the pigs went to the eggs and stole them and returned the eggs to the fat king, when he saw the eggs he tried to trick the flightless birds by surrendering but he didn't have a white flag so he used his underwear as a white flag but it wasn't so white any more.

When the fearless birds noticed the eggs were gone and so were the piglets and there one of kind king, the birds were furious they used the sling shot and fired at the pigs base, but the only problem was that they didn't know we're pigs base was, so they fired the triplets up and they saw the base so they fired them selfs there.

They sneaked past the guards but when we found the king palace they saw it happen the eggs hatched, one hatched into a jumbo bird he used his power to inflate and deflate and the bomb bird blew up and stopped the guards from coming in and stopping them, last but not least the mini triplets were stomping on the kings head and the peaceful birds went back to there forest and lived happily ever after.

"Oh no!" said Dora.

"It's a tsunami we have to warn the animals," says Boots.

"Calm down every body, I got an idea," explained Dora.

"What is it?" said Boots.

"Backpack I need a hot air ballon,"asked Dora.

"Backpack, Backpack, Backpack, here you go," sung Backpack.

"Hooray, everyone in the hot air ballon," gladly cheers Boots.

"Look at the tsunami," exclaimed Boots.

"Oh look, the baby crabs they survived the tsunami," commented Dora.

"Look another village and a jungle," says Dora.

"I hope they let us stay there," said Boots.

"Off course you can stay, my land is your land," replied the villager.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Power surge

As I'm waiting in line my veins are pumping with excitement to go onto the Power Surge. 'Finally it's my turn' I said in my head as I give my ticket to the person in the ticket booth.



The person said I was to small for the ride but I gave him 5 dollars and we made an arrangement so he let me on. I got in my seat when I saw the person in front of me, I saw him before in a hot dog eating competition.



As I thought to myself I hope he doesn't vomit on me, I hope he doesn't vomit on me I kept on repeating that to myself in my head. We started to move, we were spinning through the air, we were hanging up side down, our arms and legs were flopping all around, but all I could think about was that guy. Then it happened, he vomited it was so disgusting that I thought I was going to vomit finally we stopped.



I got off the Power Surge my mind was so dizzy, I couldn't even walk or think straight the vomit was so disgusting but it was fun, it was so fun I actually wanted to go again, the vomit on my shirt didn't even change my mind about the Power Surge "ten out of ten".

A day in my life

As I hear a screaching noise as my dad pulls up, smashing threw the doors, as he's try to wake me up, finally he wakes me up telling me that I was late for rugby. So I jump into my rugby uniform racing to the car, as I beep the horn to my dad while I was waiting for him while he was in the toilet. Finally he was done, as he sprints to the car we finally go, dad was trying to go as fast as possible while trying to stay under the speed limit. As my dad and I were swerving through the cars I was trying to get my boots on, finally we got there it was already half time, I raced on to the field to my team the score was 15 10 to them, after haft time was over my team ran on to the field, and they kick the ball over to us and we started, I caught the ball as I saw a gap and I ran towards it, I got though the gap as I just sprinted the whole way but someone caught up to me and tackled me but luckily my team mate was right beside me and I offloaded the ball to him and he scored, Now the score was 15 all we just had to get another try under 1 minuets, we kick to them I chased the ball and I striped the ball from the opposition and I saw another gap and ran towards and I scored and we won 20 to 15.
