Gray

You might wonder

What you’ll be

Where you’ll go

Or what you’ll see

Black and white or even gray

You can see things any way

You can see in thoughts or dreams

You can see most anything

You can stay on land or sea

You can go through space or air

You can go most anywhere

From January to New Year’s Eve

You’ll be great if you believe

The Magician

The magician, he wore a black hat

That he reached into and pulled out a cat

Who was juggling two balls and a rat

Next, he pulled out a bat

Who wore a yellow hard hat

But because of the weight, it fell flat

With a look of confusion

He thought this must be illusion

At least that was our conclusion

It was really quite funny

He pulled everything out

Except for the bunny

The Young Man with a Sack

There was a young man with a sack

That covered his head and his back

In the sack, he did run

Over the hills in the sun

Till he crashed into a large wooden shack

The Social Grapevine

There once were some grapes on a vine

Who thought they were totally kind

But they gossiped all day

About the other grapes weight

So they were finally turned into wine

Sports

The school I’m in just won’t have sports

Not Football, Cheer, or Track

It’s not because they aren’t fun

It’s because the field is cracked

They told me other sports won’t do

Not Baseball, Golf, or Dance

You’ll just get injured right and left

Because they’re so advanced

We could have a game of basketball

With rally’s full of pep

It does sound fun they finally said

But who’d do all the prep?

Ezra Teach

 It was said since he was two

Beware of Abigail and her crooked crew

I cannot tell what they will do

If they happen to run into you

They could turn you into stew

Or cover you up with sticks of glue

They could make your skin a shade of blue

Or cage you up with some bamboo

Years had passed and the warnings too

But Ezra Teach was tried and true

Till all his friends left him at a zoo

For something that he didn’t do

So Ezra Teach went to the beach

Because his happiness felt out of reach

He laid in the sand next to some bleach

Which someone left or failed to reach

A shadow grew and then stood still

As Ezra froze and got the chills

A young lady smiled on the beach

And handed him a nice fresh peach

Her hat and coat adorned her so

Their red and white gave her a glow

As her braided blond hair

With the wind did flow

Ezra though just small and thin

Could do nothing but slightly grin

I’m sorry that your friends have left

It must be hard for one so deft

My name is Captain Abigail

No doubt you’ve heard some false tale

Or else you wouldn’t be so pale

She held out her white-gloved hand

And pulled dear Ezra off the sand

This probably is not what you had planned

But we’d love to have you in our band
