That's Weird, Grandma
The horse was thinking about dropping the lady and throwing the lady to the sky. She was ugly. No one wanted to be her boyfriend because she was too ugly and too old. Then the horse acted really crazy, and she fell down and cried for three years. The horse kicked her in the leg. She went to the hospital and got a cast and almost died. Then a bug got in her ear and started yodeling “Yo-de-lay-hee-hoo!” The horse followed her and kicked her all the way to outer space. She said, “Oh, I can see Mars!” She landed through her window and broke the glass. Then an old man came in the next day and found her sleeping and decided he wanted to be her boyfriend.

Poems That's Weird, Grandma
One night I laid in my bed
Sometimes I felt like I was dead
Then I went inside my brain
I also felt like I had something to gain
But the next thing I knew, I was
Sitting on my grandfather’s lap
I saw him wearing a red cap
I told him I missed him much
Then he said. “Sorry”, touching my head
Just one touch
I asked what have you been doing?
Just wishing you were here.
I looked at him
I was feeling my dream dim
I woke up like a dart
Feeling he was in my heart. *********
