Twas the night before christmas.

'Twas the millennium before Christmas, and all through the cave,
Not a creature was stirring, not even an aardvark.
The socks were hung by the desk with care,
In hopes that St. Emelia soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their chairs,
While visions of sugar-brussel sprouts danced in their legs.
And frienemy in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the handle to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
ran open the shutters, and walked up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-seconds to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But an amazing wig, and eight tiny unicorns.

With a little old driver, so lively and wonderful,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Emelia.
More rapid than armadillos his unicorns they came,
And he whistled, and said, and called them by name;

"Now, Dasher! Now, Imogen! Now, T.v and Vixen!
On, Aimee! On Meerkat! On, Sock and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the house!
Now bathe away! Bathe away! Bathe away all!"

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the desk St. Emelia came with a bound.

His eyes -- how they talked! His dimples, how ugly!
His eyes were like slugs, his nostril like a cake!

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
And filled all the socks, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his arm,
And giving a nod, up the desk he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a bang,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good millennium!"

Frosty the Snowman

	Frosty the Snowman
	SONG TITLE: Frosty the pie-Man Frosty the jar-man Was a silly, beautiful soul With a corncob lolliepop and a button ear And two eyes made out of junk food. Frosty the pie-man was a green tale, they say. He was made of fruit, but the children know How he came to cambridge one day. There must have been some magic In that old pants they found, For when they placed it on his hand, He began to laughing around. Frosty the pie-man Was alive as he could be, And the lion say he could eating and sleeping, Just the same as mrs douglas and me.

Droctopus.

The Droctopus produces sound if you tap the top of the Droctopus with the ruler, strum the strings, tap the material of the eyes gently and move the ruler along the legs.

This is how you make the sound.

When you tap the top of the Droctopus it creates sound waves which echoes around inside of the toilet paper rolls creating sound. By tapping lighter and harder and in different places the notes will change.

The strings are made of rubber bands which vibrate creating sound waves the thicker rubber bands make lower notes and the thinner rubber bands make high notes. Strumming different strings will make different notes.

Tapping the eyes gently will make sound waves which echoes inside of the toilet paper rolls making sound. The sound can be changed just by tapping softer and harder in different places.

If you move the ruler along the legs quickly makes sound waves which echoes inside of the toilet paper roll. Moving the ruler along the legs at different speeds and along different legs will change the sound.

My fishing story.

"Today we are going to go fishing at the lake!" Dad exclaimed excitedly.
 I was sitting on the couch with the rest of my family watching Tv.
"I hired some fishing rods and a fishing boat," he carried on saying " we are going to go pick it up in a hour."

So we packed a chilly bin, bait and food for us in case we got hungry. "Don't we need a ruler to measure the fish with and some life jackets?" I asked as we were going out the door.

"I don't think we are going to need life jackets but I guess I should pack some and a ruler," he sighed.

So we put the gear in the car, attached the trailer for the fishing boat and drove to pick up the fishing rods and fishing boat. It was a long drive but when we got to the lake we jumped straight away on to the fishing boat, put on our life jackets and started fishing."I've got a bite, help me to reel it in dad!" I shouted after awhile. As we pulled the fish out of the water dad carefully wrapped it in a wet towel and placed it in a chilly bin.

"We should probably measure it now," I said looking at the big fish I had caught.

"No we don't because it's way bigger than the smallest size fish you're allowed to catch" replied dad.

"But we need to put the big fish back just in case it has babies," I disagreed.

Just as dad was putting back a smaller fish along came a Coast Guard. "You need to put the big fish back or I will have to take away your fishing boat" explained the Coast Guard, "Well done with catching it though."

So dad carefully placed the oversized fish back into the water with a wet towel being careful not to rub off any of its scales. Once the Coast Guard had finished checking our fishing boat and made sure we had no other over or undersized fish we continued fishing. After a few more hours we stopped to get some Fish & Chips for tea. After tea my mum took my little sister to find a play ground while my dad, big sister, little brother and I kept fishing.

After a couple more hours we returned the fishing boat and fishing rods to the shop and headed home. At home we cleaned the fish and put it in the freezer so it would be ready to eat when we wanted homemade Fish & Chips for tea.

The Crash.

The damage caused by the crash was one of the police forces least worries because none of the victims of the crash were responding or moving. Rescue helicopters circled over head and sirens whirred as the ambulance came to take the injured victims to the hospital. The hospital quickly became full. Parents quickly covered their children's eyes to protect them from the frightening scene before them. Just as the last victim was being helped onto a stretcher the cars suddenly caught on fire. Fire fighters rushed to the scene with hoses and buckets to try and stop the quickly spreading fire. Brave witness' helped pour water too. The flames quickly grew out of control, the police blocked off the road and evacuated all the people. After what seemed like hours the flames died down and everyone was allowed back in the area if they were brave enough. Reporters soon came flooding to the site of the crash to try get the best story.

For the following days the crash was the headline on the news. The clean up took days because the police had to first find the cause of the crash. When the police had finally found who caused the crash they were taken to court and sentenced to 45 years in jail.
