Bask
To bask is to lie in the sun,
when all the work is finally done,
to lay down in a warm tropical place,
when all the work piled in your face,
is gone.
Gone until you go back to learn,
for then it will all finally return.

Introduce

introduce me to a moose,
introduce me to some moose for my hair,
introduce me to everyone everywhere,
Introduce me to someone new,
introduce me to you,
id like to meet someone fun,
so shine like the sun and introduce, introduce, introduce.
Maybe someone would like to introduced to me,
but i would like to be introduced to the sea,
dont you get i have never met a moose, or never used moose, and i never met everyone everywhere, and i would like to be introduced to someone new, maybe i dont know you, but cant you see ive never met the sea.

Exasperating

Exasperate happens when,
you kick and scratch all the men,
in the club where you discus,
the troubles that are exasperating.
Exasperating happens when,
you rip and tear the curtains in the den,
which is where your sister plans out,
the next way she can be exasperating.
Exasperating is the thing you do,
when your tired and cranky and don't feel like you,
it's what happens when the anger grows and you shout,
"I am exasperated!"

Restrict
when you're restricted there's nowhere you can go
You can't go to see Moe
No playing in the snow
You're even restricted from eating cookie dough
You'll have to stay down low
just to watch your favorite show
You'd better be sneaky
You'd better be slow
Because if I you get caught
After I said no,
you will be saying "OH NO"!

Overthrow

Overthrow
To take away the King's power
It may take more than an hour
When you beat someone at a sporting event
The other team is trying to make it provent
When I go to collage I'm overthrowing my parents
Now my roomate'sw name is lawrense
O.K. now I'm overthrowing this poem
By that I'm going to towem
Overthrow
By:JM
I'm reading the book Elijah of Buxton for guided reading. I only have one chapter left and I'm sure it's going to be good, but these are my predictions for it. I think Elijah will go back to Buxton and get all the men in the settlement to go with him back to the stable. Once they get there, armed with weapons, they'll kill the guards and set the caught slaves free. Then they'll bring the slaves back to Buxton and ring the freedom bell twenty times for each of them and they'll live happily ever after in Buxton.

Rebel

I refuse to do my homework,
I'm breaking all the rules,
I will fight with my teacher after school,
No one is telling me what to do,
My parents think I'm rebellious no matter what I do,
So I'm telling you to.

(Rebel:to refuse to accept control by others; refuses to obey the law;
fighting against others control)

Seldom

Seldom is rarely, not very often
You would seldom going to the beach
It would be seldom finding a peach
It would be seldom to find gold
But it is not seldom to get old
It wouldn't be seldom to go to bed
But it would be seldom to be dead
If you are seldom to be seen
You could make people scream
And that is extremely seldom

Elijah of Buxton Predictions

For the book Elijah of Buxton, I have five predictions of how the story might end but I am the most confident that it will be #4.

Prediction #1: Elijah helps the slaves that he sees in the stable get to freedom. He busts their chains loose with his rocks or his pistol, then he brings them to Buxton on Ol' Flapjack and Jingle boy. When he gets there, he realizes he forgot about the money, but it's too late.

Prediction #2: First, Elijah frees the slaves and brings them to Buxton. Then he realizes they are mr. Leroy's family and it's a happy ending for everyone.

Prediction#3: Elijah gives up on freeing the slaves, and steals the money from the white men who took it from the Preacher. Next, Elijah buys Mr. Leroy's family out of slavery and brings
them to Buxton.

Prediction #4: Elijah frees the slaves, steals the money, and brings the to Buxton. Then, he buys Mr. Leroy's family out of slavery.

Prediction #5: Elijah chickens out of the whole thing because he's a fra-gile boy, and neither Mr. Leroy's family or the runawayslaves at thestable are freed.

Elijah of Buxton

I have made a prediction about what is going to happen in the end. I think that the preacher will shoot Mr. Highgate, and then Mr Leroy and Elijah will go and investigate what is happening. Then, they will meet up and have a startling experience; the preacher will shoot Mr Leroy, and Elijah and the preacher will have a chase with shooting and dodging gunshots. Meanwhile, with the preacher shooting, Elijah will find something to deflect the shots with and he will take the gold and buy Mr Leroys family out of bondage. I think this because leading up to this moment in the book, the preacher seemed like an untrustworthy person that doesn't have anything christian inside of him. Also, in almost every book like this one, there is usually an exciting ending and at the very end something cheerful and happy happens.

exit
exit the only way out is the only route it is hard to find
in a maze there is only a exit and entrance there no way out
you might think it is the end but it really is not only a alustion of your mind
you will not understand what lays a head
this the hardest of to get past you will make it without a pass
you will not understand since it
is only a dream
