Nameless Poem

I wrote this poem after Mom challenged me to write a poem with contradictions in it.




A boy was walking on the street,
A race he's sure to win,
He flew into the city,
Stopping at a farm within.
"Excuse me, I've no time to talk,
For I don't have to go,"
The farmer said.  "It's July, boy,
So now I've got to snow!"

Without some time to ponder this,
The clock struck seventeen,
And suddenly, the purple sky
Had turned a shade of green.
And, then and there,
The boy saw an invisible lion
And also, the carrot tree
Was seeming to be crying?

And then the kangaroos flew out,
(Also a full-grown lamb),
Saying to that potato tree,
"You're just a hunk of ham!"
Then the coyotes turned to him
(The boy's name was Tom),
"We'd better eat you now, my girl,
'Cause you're a nuclear bomb!"

And then there was a war between
The lion and the pup,
An unlucky star shined in his eyes-
And then the boy woke up.  

Vacation Part 1: Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone for vacation.

Day 1:
We drove all day.
We arrived at the KOA Campgrounds in Idaho at 11:00.  Grandpa Dotson arrived, too!!!


Day  2:
We stayed at the campgrounds for awhile, then went to Craters of the Moon.  I almost got lost!  
Then we hiked in a lava tube and had lunch.  I bought a cute little fox finger puppet that I named Phoxy.
After that we went to my Uncle Jared Dotson's house.  He had a daughter named Caylee.  We had fun playing, then we went to bed.

Day 3: 

We went to church and  I went to Caylee's class.  We had a lot of fun.  Then we went home and played.  Caylee had a toy dog named Alpha, but she spelled it Alfa.  He and Phoxy soon became fast friends. We made little nests of grass for them, and taught them how to climb trees, and they even went to a pretend spa.  We did the spa by taking  them to the upstairs bathroom, getting them wet with a washcloth, combing their fur and blow-drying it.  Then we made them collars and played some more.  After that we ate some dinner and went for a walk.  We came by a playground and played there.  There were 4 springy horses named Champ, Lucky, Jumper and I don't remember the other one.  I got on Lucky.  Then me and Caylee went on the swings.  Then we walked home.
