The Ultimate Trap

Jack was a Penguin. Not the kind that you could trust, And certainly not the tidy kind. But the worst part was that he was a prankster. Those were the exact reasons why nobody wanted to be friends with Jack. One time he put worms in Lucys lunch box, And one time he put snow in Sam’s backpack so when Sam got to school all of his school papers were wet. I could go on and on about the naughty pranks that Jack did but now I must get on with the story.

Once Jack was leaning on the school wall waiting for his teacher, Mr. Penguin to to step in his booby trap. It would make his teacher fall head first into a bucket of snow. While he was waiting he noticed something dressed in black It looked an awful lot like a human. Wait a minute, Jack looked closer, it was a human! His mother had warned him about humans. “ Sometimes” his mother always warned, “ They kidnapped penguins and put them in a place called a zoo” The human was trying to get into the school to steal the magic that made the animals act like people! But instead the Human tripped on the tripwire that started Jacks booby trap, and fell headfirst into the bucket of snow. The human quickly scrambled out. “ that was just a start soon he’ll really have to pay” said Jack.

Jack went home and told his parents and his little sister, Poppy. They suggested a plan. Jack thought it was a good plan. When Jack went to bed that night he stayed up late planning out all the little details. In the morning he surprisingly hadn’t forgotten a thing. That day was Saturday and Jack and Poppy did not have school. So instead they went around the neighborhood informing people about the plan.  It took a little while because they did not trust Jack but then Jack told them they could have one of his mothers homemade chocolate chip cookies if they did, so of course, they were convinced.

By lunchtime Poppy and Jack  had told Jack’s class, part of Poppy’s, Mr. Penguin, Mrs. Icy, and Mr. Polar bear. Then they stopped for the day and went home to have lunch. When Jack woke up he was so excited he wanted to start the plan, but no, there was still Sunday to go. After Sunday it was finally Monday. Time to start the plan. Jack and Poppy woke up very early to go to school and packed a slice of toast to eat on the way. All the animals that they had invited were already there.

Without a moment to waste the animals started to build a trap for the human. In the end it turned out to be like this the person stepped on a platform which triggered a hot glue gun to squirt on the humans head (OUCH!) then that made the hot glue gun light enough for some string to come down which Mr. Polar bear ( who was the only one tall enough to do it) would wrap around the human being then the human would slide on some ice into a position were his ear was right next to  a colossal megaphone. Then all the animals would shout as loud as they could into the megaphone which would hopefully scare the human away.

Just about when they had finished the trap the human came. It was still dark so he couldn’t see the trap. So he fell right into it. It was very entertaining to watch. The animals could hardly keep in their laughs. At last  the animals all shouted into the megaphone. It startled the human so much that he ran away and jumped into the freezing cold ocean.

That month Jacks mother had a baby. But instead of grumbling and refusing to help Jack became best friends with his little brother even though he was 8 years older than him. And as for the animals magic, That was put in Jacks house as a thank you from the south pole.

THE END

Christmas Poems


CHRISTMAS CHEER


Christmas time is a time of cheer

But it only happens once a year.

So once a year to be happy

Once a year to have joy

Once a year to ask Santa for your favorite toy

But no my friend that is not true,

The rest of the year you don’t have to be blue.

Christmas can happen every day

As long as you live the happy way.



CHRISTMAS MEANS A LITTLE BIT MORE


Candy in your stocking

Presents all galore

But maybe Christmas is a little bit more

Think of the baby Jesus

Think of what he gave to us

Now is Christmas a little bit funner? 

Now is Christmas a little bit better? 

Think of all the giving

Not just all the getting

The true Christmas means a lot more

The true Christmas makes your heart soar!



HAVE YOU SEEN SANTA CLAUS?


Have you seen Santa Claus? 

He hasn’t come to town. 

I guess Santa hasn’t seen everybody’s frown. 

It's already January, 

Christmas has already passed 

But Santa hasn’t come. 

It's made everybody glum,

But Santa hasn’t come.



I HAVE BEEN BAD THIS YEAR


I guess I have been bad this season 

I don’t really know the reason

Well maybe I burned down the school, 

And maybe I brought my mom a dead mole

'Cause all I got in my stocking

Was a dirty ol’ lump of coal.



ORNAMENTS


Ornaments on the Christmas tree

Big, shiny and new they be

Ornaments so lovely and round,

On the Christmas tree not making a sound

Ornaments shiny and big

It makes you want to do a jig

Ornaments are all those things lovely and round

Maybe we should have them all year 'round



THE JOYS OF CHRISTMAS


Look at the Christmas tree with lights that glow

And look outside at the lovely snow

Look at the snowman with its big carrot nose

And the smell of hot chocolate, as good as a rose

Feel the hot fire after a day in the frost

Such a big day I’m full of exhaust

Open a present; it's a toy! 

Christmas Day is full of joy!



REINDEER


Reindeer line up one by one

Ready for all the fun

Gonna drive Santa's sleigh, 

Ready to make Christmas Day

Gonna deliver all the gifts

They’ve already memorized Santa's shifts

Why do reindeer have all the fun?

What great deed have reindeer done?



TOYS


Santa makes lots of toys

Lots of toys for girls and boys

Rag dolls, jelly rolls, Choo Choo trains and bouncy balls

Lots and lots and lots of toys

Doesn’t Santa get tired of all the noise?
