The Ghost With The
Most
by Arden Davidson
"Boo! Boo Hoo!",
cried the ghost with the most.
No
one comes to visit me,
though I'm the perfect host.
I decorate
with cobwebs,
sweep the spiders under the rug,
Yet no one ever
offers me
a kind word or a hug.
I don't know what the reason
is.
I don't know what could cause it,
'Cause I always, yes I
always
keep my skeletons in the closet.
Sure, I may look
scary
but if someone really knew me,
they wouldn't be
afraid
'cause they could see
right through me.

Cow-ard
by Arden Davidson
I
can't. I quit.
I won't. That's it.
I'm done. I'm through.
No
more.
No chance. I'm gone.
Forget it. So long.
Goodbye. I'm
out
the door.
Drop it. Leave it.
Not maybe. No,
never!
Not ever. No way.
No how.
You can't get me,
just 3
foot 3
to milk that
angry cow.

I
Love You Not
by Bruce Lansky
I love you I love you,
I love you so well,
if I had
a skunk
I would give you a smell.
If I were a dog
I would
give you a bite.
If I were a witch
I would give you a
fright.
If I were a bathtub
I'd give you a splash.
If I were
a fungus
I'd give you a rash.
I love you so much
that I won't
tell a lie,
I promise we'll marry
the day that I die.

Nicknames
by Kenn Nesbitt
My aunt calls me "Elizabeth."
My grandma calls me
"Liz."
My sister calls me "Lisa,"
and the baby calls me
"Wiz."
My uncle calls me "Betty,"
while my grandpa calls me
"Beth."
My brother calls me "Dizzy Liz"
or sometimes "Lizard
Breath."
My teacher calls me "Betsy,"
and my friends all call me
"Bess."
I find these nicknames more annoying
than you'd ever
guess.
I wish that they would call me
by my real name
instead.
I simply hate those nicknames;
see, my real name is
Fred.
