Mathew Orcutt - Grade 5 School Six, Linden: Honorable Mention - Grades 4-6

Sunday Stroll

By Matthew Orcutt - Grade 5
School Six, Linden

If my animal could talk,
He would say,
"Will you take me for a walk today?"

"Grab my leash and some water, too
for a quick stroll through the neighborhood zoo."

"I cannot wait to get out the door,
down the stairs and slide across the floor."

"The fresh air makes me happy you see.
Walking with you I'm as content as can be!"

"There goes my friends, Sparky and Corky -
A German Shephard and a little Yorkie."

"Hold it! Stop!
Don't walk so fast! I want this walk to really last."

"My little legs can only go oh, so quick!
Watch me run, just throw a stick!"

"Past the monkeys, past the snakes,
Coming here was a big mistake!
Take me to the city park,
and get me home before it's dark."

"After my meal, I'd like a treat
and some clean water would be really neat."
