"A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom." -Robert Frost




Abused Tether Push, Slap, Round and round, Wrap up the pole And down again.

All day, Everyday, Punch, Slap.

Beaten to a pulp, But nobody cares, They just laugh And keep punching and slapping.

Bell rings, Recess, Worst time of day For a poor tetherball like me.

Push,  Slap, Round and round, Wrap up the pole And down again.

No! String snaps, What pain these punches and slaps cause.

Bright side, Punches are done, Slaps no more, But kids quickly grab tape, As if that is the cure.

Back to the punches, Again with the slaps, A bad day to be A tetherball like me.

**Open your eyes**

Stride for the win, Go for the gold, Follow your dreams, Remove the blindfold. Step into the real world, Take it all in, Embrace what you love, Let your life begin.

Care for each day, Treat it like your last, Soon years will go, All will be in the past.

Make it all fun, No worries at all, Time to be brave So tare down that wall.

Open your eyes To brand new things, Cause this world is filled With all types of blessings.

**"Wonspatt"**
Wibble, wobble, down the street, wondering, wondering, who she will meet.

Wonspatt, wonspatt, big and fat, what is she doing? Getting food from her hat.

Flibber, flobber, like a meatball, and when she is at home, she can't fit down the hall.

Always made fun of for being a fatty, well she just ignores them and eats a chicken patty.

Wibble, wobble, big and fat, I feel sorry for that poor wonspatt.

Ballad- song that matches: " Love Story " by Taylor Swift

**Modern Juliet and Romeo**
Classic story of boy meets girl, her silky, blonde hair, just stunning with a curl.

Her bright green eyes, full of joy, and everyone knew they were bright for a boy.

His name was Rick, hers was Jane, their love for eachother drove their parents insane.

A family grudge, continually passed down, they couldn't stand eachother so they lived on opposite sides of town.

Rick and Jane planned to run, run away from it all, they were going to meet at the holiday ball.

She went to the snack table, which is where he would show, he took her by the hand, they were soon on the go.

They got in his car and waved goodbye, goodbye to their old life, they would live and be happy until they would die.
