Sonnets

In Writing/Lit, we are learning about poetry. A few days ago, we talked about the a few different poem formats. We esspecially focused on sonnets. Mrs. Butler told us sonnets are the best ways to get what you want. (She also told the boys that they were one of the best presents, ways to get dates, etc.)
Then in Social Studies, we did research. On reforms. And one of the boys, Jake, sat where all the computer plugs were. He started pulling them out. Mine was pulled out. I told him to STOP. He said he would if I wrote him a sonnet. So here is my sonnet to him:

The Tree and the Bee
By Lindsey
There once was a tree.
A tree that grew pears.
And there once was a bee.
With fuzzy yellow hairs.


The tree of pears
Was very tall.
But the bee of hairs
Was very small.


The tree and the bee.
They made such a pair.
The tree and the bee.
I wish you could be there.


The tree and the bee.
Oh, gee.


My computer plug has not been pulled since.
