I woke up at 5:04 and got dressed at 5:30, went downstairs at 6:00, fixed up a piece of toast, and made a breakfast of yogurt, cantaloupe, and toast.  Then I remembered, oh yeah, it’s Young Eagles day!

All I could think all day was YOUNG EAGLES!  I was so excited!

Brown to Green

 

I like spring

Because of the mud and the dirt.

I like the ruts,

The dead grass,

The muddy puddles,

The melting snow,

The leafless trees,

And all the BROWN.

 

Then spring 

Creeps, curls, swells, and grows.

Breezes, sun rays.

Trickles, awakens, unfreezes.

Spring zooms, zips, cartwheels,

Rushes, runs, calls!

The river is flowing life.

The sun is just waking up.

Birds are chirping at me in all directions.

It feels like I’m in an observatory 

And a jail at the same time.

Zoom-zam-ka-blamo!

Buzz, Ka-boom!

GREEN!

Abraham Lincoln

 

Hi, I’m Abraham Lincoln.  You should know about me because I was a president who was assassinated.

 

Before that, I was like signing the . . . . um, what’s it called . . . . Ah, yes, the Emancipation Proclamation.  You may also know me because I lost an election.  I became president in one election too.

 

Then the Civil War started.  On April 9, 1865, the commander of the Confederate Army surrendered.  At last, it was happy again.  I went for a ride with my wife to Ford’s Theater.  Suddenly, there was a shot, and the next morning I died.
