A poem about Alice
A poem about me
Alice has gold hair like a bar of gold. Alice's wardrobe is as yellow as the sun. She makes friends as fast as a bee lands on a flower.

THE wreckage
donk!! “there goes dingy number 17,” yells the captain. The captain’s teeth were chattering like no tomorrow and there was going to be no tomorrow if he
didn't tell the crew what to do.
THE CAPTAIN MADE A good decision, well he though he did. He decided it was nice and sheltered but because it was 1936 the DEPTH SOUNDER was not a thing yet. The captain was mortified. why was he a mortified? YOU ASK, WELL, because it was the opposite to floating and he was land sinking The water was drying up and causing “Billyo” ( his boat ) to donk onto the land. Most of the dinghies fell overboard because one side was leaning over too much, The crew on night watch were the only survivors after the boat cracked in the middle like the Evergreen stuck in the Suez Canal. As he looks over feeling sick like he was about to throw up and then he saw a flash of blue then there was nothing just plan black. To be continued…

How to catch a shark
How to catch a shark
Equipment
1.The biggest Fishing rod you can find.
2.A reasonable sized boat. ( I recommend a 8 meter stabicraft )
3.The biggest hook you can find.
4.A out board and I really think it should be a 300 horse power but it can be any size.
5.Squid I think you should get the squid from your local petrol station, because you know so they can stay in business.
6. A sharp knife
Method
Go to a place that has the most sharks in your local area.
Put about 5 squid on the hook and
Put the rod in the water with the hook on it
Please do not put a sinker on because great white sharks like to hover above the surface and the bait will float
It will take a lot of tries so once you get it, stab a knife into its gills
Have a fest and bring your family

THE DOG
The bmx man
The danger man who was on the orange bmx flies through the sky. The man’s heart was pounding and the police were furious. so were the priest and the nun. The nun and the priest were walking to the nunnery, chattering away about the days reading.
So the man flew dangerously over the hair raising jump and the nun and priest. As he’s skidding through the snow and as dramatic as can be, The police’s eyes were almost popping out of his eye sockets he woke up the policeman beside him. They looked out to see where he was and then he jumped over the policemen. As thrilling as this can be but it had to end. He was riding his bmk in an oniy skiing area.
As he was zooming past all the skiers, going faster than tany of hem, he was riding about 120 kilometers per hour.
The police never caught him. You never know you might see him zoom past one day when you are skiing….
