The Star!

The audience roared, the judges clapped,

The last row screamed, the front row snapped.

I came in blowing kisses in the air,

My fans were all around me, everywhere.

I grabbed the mike, grabbed the guitar,

Grabbed the piano, grabbed the sitar.

And I started playing all of them at one time!

I played and played till the clock struck nine.

I bowed and went of the stage,

And the next morning in the newspapers I was on the front page!

I love the paparazzi, went to sign autographs,

Hugged little kids, clicked photographs!

And then,

My alarm clock rang..........

Wanna Grow Up?

Don't you want to grow up soon? You'll finally get to go out alone, get your parents to increase your allowance, get to catch buses alone, get a new phone, get to go in airplanes alone, etc, etc, etc. You'll get your own car, perhaps a rolce royce, get your own house, perhaps a mansion. Get whatever antique furniture you want, have the whole house to yourself, let alone only one room! Paint your house whatever colour you want it to be. Have parties day and night, have your own indoor swimming pool, be best friend with stars, play tennis with Venus Williams, play football with Ronaldo, swim with Micheal Phelps. Sing with Madonna, dance with Justin Timberlake, do anything you wish. SPEND LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW! Hey............wait a minute..........if you keep spending, then you'll have no money left and then you won't be able to drive your favourite cars, make friends with stars, swim..........and.....and............won't be able to do anything...........shudder....gulp.........sob!!! On a second thought...........lets just remain small...what do you think?

Back to the history of vegetables

"And so, the revolt of 1857 lead to........." bla bla bla. As if I want to know. I mean, who would want to know all that boring stuff? The only good thing about history is that it can put you to sleep when you stayed up the night before. I can't wait till the bell rings for snack break. I wonder what I got to eat. Maybe cookies...or chocolate (yum!).....or...um...I know! Doughnut! Mmmm....the thought of it makes my mouth water. Whew! There goes the bell! Now lets see what I got! Well...what do you know, I got salad. Yum yum....I love salad as much as I love history. Why does it always have to be something I hate? Sometimes I think during that revolt thingie in 1857, (I was actually listening!) vegetables existed. If those revolt people were free of vegetables at that time, then I don't mind at all to study history all day....or even become a freedom fighter who believes in non- violence, just to get away from disgusting vegetables. I can almost imagine myself as a freedom fighter, fighting for children who have to suffer from eating vegetables. Oh yeah, in my dreams. Even a gigantic monster with 12 legs and 6 eyes and 53 legs can't stop us from eating vegetables. Let me forget about that for some time......I'm really hungry......I suppose I could maybe just taste it? Lick. Swallow. Gulp. Buuuuurrrrrppppp! Whoa! that salad was amazing! Maybe I should go over what I said about vegetables being disgusting.........
