4th grade
A Duck Family
Father Duck goes for a swim
Mother Duck comes out with him
And behind them, nice and clean,
Seven yellow ducklings swim.
Seven little yellow balls
"Quack, quack, quack", the mother calls.
What a pretty sight they make

Swimming on the lake.

5th grade
Robin
Robin, Robin, what a man!
He eats as much as noone can
He ate a lot of meat
He ate a lot of ice cream and sweets
He ate a lot of porridge and ten eggs
And all the cookies mother has
He drank a lot of juice
He ate a cake
Theb said:
"I have a stomachache".

6th grade

Homework Machine

The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine,

Most perfect contraption that’s ever been seen.

Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,

Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds time,

Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.

Here it is – “nine plus four?” and the answer is “three”.

Three?

Oh me…

I guess it’s not as perfect

As I thought it would be.
