Looking for Love
The year is 1978. Julie is an eighth-grade wallflower, the shiest girl at her school. She is taller than all the other students, including the boys, so she slouches in an attempt to conceal her height, for all the good that does. As the second child in a family of seven, all living on a teacher’s income, she can’t wear the latest fashions, and she certainly doesn’t fit in with the popular crowd. Her classmates rarely give her a second look, other than an occasional sneer . Her home life is fine, but her social life is nonexistent. Worst of all, she’s too shy to attract a boyfriend.

Sneaky Snake
This poem was written as part of a safari music production. I have nothing against snakes. In fact, I included some interesting facts about snakes in the show, such as: 1. Snakes don't have eyelids. 2. Snakes swallow their food whole, since they can't chew. 3. There are 3,686 species of snakes, found on all continents except Antarctica.
