Apiti show poem 2014

I slip my togs on
Butterflies creep into my stomach
I race to the start line
More kids eager to compete

Legs pumping as fast as a hippity hoppity hare
Hot breath heaving on the back of my neck
Clutters of kids
I feel like I am about to collapse

Punching the pedals
Wheels spinning like a Ferris wheel
Legs start to feel like a boiling thermos
Now I feel yearning to finish

Arms flying round like spastic wind mills
Bubbles breaching the surface
I feel like a sea sick fish now
Cheering echoes under the water

Legs stumble down
Arms become jelly
Good feeling to be finished
Hard work
Finishing a triathlon
MY FAVOURITE

Karen in Karen world


Part 1

Chickens from far and wide had all gathered in Karen world today. It was international Karen cross the road day! A huge cluck applause as the Ginger and White Chicken came zooming out of out of a tunnel. I don't quit know what they are saying because I don't speak chicken. Karens legs are long and orange her tail is white and poofy, her long beak is a tad crooked. every chicken gathers round. Karens foot slowly wanders across the road the room fills with cheer  all the chickens wings were flapping with supersonic speed. Soon all the chickens were crossing the road. Karen was wandering back to her coop when Kevin and Bob stopped her in her tracks.
" hey great performance Karen" exclaimed Kevin
" Yeah" said Bob
" Thanks it was nothing"
Karen then kept on her way. Her tall coop made out of straw was waiting for her. It was 2.6 meters high and what Karen called home!

The Morsel Stone Castle

As I strolled down the crumbling road in the land of the long white cloud, I faced a medieval castle. It had big green waters with a moat surrounding it. Swimming around in the moat were big green crocodiles with viscous eyes and rough leathery skin. As I walked round the side I spotted an ancient creaky bridge........
Suddenly I heard a creak coming from behind the tree. A tree branch snapped and a brown shiny colt came trotting out.
There was something strange about this colt. It staggered right across the bridge and the gate slowly made its way up to the top. The shiny colt ran inside. Now I felt that there was something REALLY strange about this place so I thought I needed to investigate more!
My challenge was held before me as I needed to find out what the secret of the Morsel stone castle was. The last person who approached this castle was said to have never returned. I must keep my wits me in about this place. If I am going to investigate more I need to get the proper equipment. I will need a shiny silver sword, a pair of scissors, rope and a satchel.
As I made my way to the bridge I could already feel my legs trembling with fear! Soon I found myself in the lair of the witch, Miss Warnta. Her green pointy nose sticks out like a fire hose. Her green warts look like green lady bugs. I think in my head, "Am I ready to approach this beast?"
My foot curves round to meet the wobbly bridge. I clutch my fist as I hold on for dear life. This is a time were I need to feel skinny and as light as a feather. Then suddenly I heard a scream of terror coming from the inside of the mysterious castle. I slowly prepare to back away slowly but I accidentally miss my step and fall.........
But suddenly a handsome knight saves me and I get chucked up upon his dark silky horse, who happens to look a little bit like the colt I had seen earlier. But I fall under the handsome knights spell as he takes his helmet off and flicks his hair around like Justin Beaver.
But I know there is something strange about this horse so I jump off and dash back to the castle. As I near closer I begin to see the dark shadow of the tall slinky castle. Its dark rusty outside seems to faint in the darkness. Also there is a dark swampy moat around the outside. If you look closely you can see the slime slithering around the edges. I slowly drifted from the moat and I start to focus my concentration on the woods. I feel like I need to stay the night in the woods to figure out more. But......
Wartna, the evil witch, stops me in my tracks. She speaks softly and as her disgusting breath reaches my face I feel like I should shrivel up and die. I slunk my way up the tall green hill. I reach the top and I begin to feel like a prisoner. Her soft croaky voice begins to speak.
"Now child you have been sneaking around my castle. Is that right?"
"Who said I have to talk," I replied fiercely.
"Guards!!" she shrieked.
My heart was now pounding hard against my chest but then suddenly two small dwarfs came toddling out of a small secret door.
"Hello. I come in peace!" yells the number one dwarf.
"My name is Paycee and this is my partner, number two dwarf, Parlotte. We are from planet Pluto,"
"Stop talking," Wartna screams.
The dwarfs slowly creep closer to me. Suddenly a knight, with warts all over his face, smashed through the door.
Quickly in a flash Wartna throws a sword. A pause in remembrance fills the room. I was thinking in my head what courage he had. He was trying to save me. His head drops to the ground with a thud. His body dangles in the ceiling. The silence passes.
As fast as you could say supercalifragilisticexpeelladosish Calli ate a yogurt that has 6 double cherries with strawberry's on top. Another prince comes dashing through the doors. He has short scrubby hair and the voice of a goblin. He whips out a plastic sword. He aims. Then he throws it at my chains. The small plastic blades skims my body as I try to ruffle free. We quickly make a runner. We slowly slowed down our pace
(he was a fast runner). He stopped and looked me in the eyes.
He said, "What is your name princess?"
I reply in a soft innocent voice, "Allila."
"Well I'm prince Dodo the 3rd."
We rushed off into the woods. If we wanted to survive we needed to find some supplies.
I said to the prince, "Stay here your majesty. I will go and find some food."
"But wait" he replied, "I need to come for your protection."
"Look here. I need food desperately. I can't afford to fumble around with a prince."
" OK. As you wish princess."
I needed to run to the sour cherry tree. They were good energy. I picked some red plump cherries. I packed my satchel full of them and I raced back to where the prince was lying on a rock day dreaming.
"Yo princess!" I shouted to him.
"Oh me lady. You made it back alive!"
"Of course I did. I'm a trained survivalist."
They gobbled up the cherries. They were not very long lasting but they needed all they energy they could get! As they trampled on their way, they stumbled across a dark mysterious haunted cottage. I wanted to investigate more but little princess prince wanted to stay back.
"OK. I'll stay here."
"Fine by me."
So the door creaked open and I slowly peered inside.
"Boo!"
"Ahh," I screamed.
A dashing prince came rumbling out.
"Hello. Why how beautiful you are princess,"
"Well you're not bad yourself,"
A moment of embracing was disturbed as whiny baby prince was back.
"But we were going to live happily ever after princess," he exclaimed.
"Sorry but not any more. Prince William the 3rd is my true love!"
Prince William the 3rd and Allila Harrison rode off into the sunset on their new horse called Ian!

THE END!

Goblin story

"Harry," shouts Mrs Goblin,
"Get ready for work!"
"OK."
Harry is an only goblin. He has been brought up by his mother goblin.
Harry has a job and that is to spy on a princess. His job is to do this because his mother used to be a beautiful blonde princess, But then a slight bad move made her guards turn her into a dirty mucky Goblin. Harry has brown spiky hair and vicious teeth drooling saliva.
One stary dark night Harry climbed out of bed and slipped on his spying mask and crept to the princess's door way. The guards were marching back and forward. Meanwhile Harry sat on the doorstep and listened  to her father speak in his soft quiet squeaky voice. He was saying words that ran through the goblins mind many times.
Suddenly a ferocious thought came into his mind. He thought the next noon he would sneak into the princess's lair and steal her. But first Harry needed to buy his own house. Leaping about the toadstool factory, he spotted a bright red toadstool. He really liked the look of it so he took a peep inside. Fumbling about he managed to find a suitable price. He spoke to the clerk.
"Where shall I buy this from?"
"Go inside," his rough grumbly voice replied with.
So Harry went inside and wrote a check for $100,000. He walked off happily. Now was the time for the big move. He crept up too the big brown bulky door. His ear popped with excitement. He knew the moment was now.
SMASH ... the door flung onto the ground with a thud. Harry sprinted inside, put his hands around her waist and made a runner out. He slowly made his way back to his house. He slid the princess onto the couch and said, "You may now speak."
"Why do you have me here?" she exclaimed.
"Silly princess. You are going to live with me now," he replied softly.
"OK then," she said calmly.
THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

Skiing

As we slowly creep through the forest the glistening white mountain rains ahead! Suddenly when we reach the top we had to stop in a hurry because we had to park all the way at the back the cars were all lined up!
Slowly we trampled up the stairs and into the Crowded room!
As I take of my gumboots anzity kicks in about how horrible it feels to put the tight Ski boots on!
The lady asked me polity to put my foot in the measure Plank!
When I got handed my ski boots the tension was warming up as I slowly slid them on! Walking in them filled my toes with pain!
Finally I reached to ski section I put my other boot on the counter and a lady fitted some skis for me.Finally last but not least I grabbed some poles and of I went!  Without thinking I clicked in my skies and of I went down the beginners slope!
Mrs Fielder was waiting at the top of the magic carpet and said to me go and meet Chonne up there,  She will take you up the chairlift for your lesson! As we slowly moved towards the chairlift the chairlift came for towards us! We were sliding up the mountain!
Suddenly we were dangling above, the chairlift had stopped and we were swaying in  the wind! We were as scared as a deer that heard a gun shot!
Suddenly then again the chairlift was moving again!
" I bet that it was Tyler that forgot to hop of at the end" Exclaimed Chonne!
" Yeah that's most likely" I replied!
Finally we reached the end and shuffled forward and then we released the bar and then our skis reached the ground and so did our poles! A sigh of relief was amungst us and we had finally reached the ground again!
We meet our instructor at the top and soon enough we were of and we were doing turns down by the pommel lift slowly we were coming up the pommel and back down! Soon he was already taking us up to the Giant I was very scared as I had only ever been up the Giant Once!

2013 Speech values of life


Intro
As humans we like to believe we are the smartest, The greatest, the best. But is this a good thing! What if we weren't the smartest?
If we disrespected the value of life ... or the value of education our lives could be very different.  When you are noticed as smart do you feel appreciated or is it just another regular day for you.
Well I’m here to explain my version of this world and the values we shouldn’t take for granted! Let me describe another possible version of our world.

Now everybody close your eyes and look into the future and imagine there is a Liondog. It is smarter than you! You didn't ace the spelling bee or you didn't win the mathex competition because of this silly little smart proud Liondog! Do we really need to feel the pressure of this shame? NO.
Now pretend you are in the grocery shop and you expect more change but the shopkeeper says, “No 1+1 = 2 not 3.” Or maybe they say to you are you hallucinating, because they think you are so ... Un smart!
When you think about it, when kids learn at school the only competition they have is other kids from other schools! Certainly not the competition of a Liondog!

Where would humans stand if there was another species that was smarter than us.
Would we be in control?
Or maybe we wouldn't want to be in control?
Would our ideas have any input on the earth?
We wouldn’t have any control over what decisions were made because the smartest is usually very careful with decisions. Where would we be on the food chain? Maybe they might start selling kid kebabs or maybe Dad drink Or EVEN FEET food! I mean since we used to be the smartest and learnt to go hunting and fishing ... maybe they might learn that to. WE might be dinner or killed for no reason. Or maybe we might be put in cages and owned like our pets! We might even get really weird names! Would we have to get smarter to get jobs ... because if you don't know what you're doing you're not going to get paid! And we need to get paid to look after our families and to make sure we can get food and live in a house! What if the government didn't let us have any say about what we do and when things are going to happen!

Would we have conflict! I mean anything could happen if we didn't get along, Maybe our world might turn into the hunger games. How unfair! We wouldn’t get a choice to fight but we would do it for our pride. This might cause a war between the two species and what if that species over populated the world. How could we possibly want to live in a world where we were known as DUMB. Nations conflict worldwide shows that conflict has meant many deaths in our nations. But it has mostly been between different states arguing about nuclear bombs! Would we like it if many years of conflict affected our children’s learning and getting on with life! NO!
Or do we want to live in a world with arguing or being called DUMB! NO!
How would you feel? Because I would feel like I had no point in being in this world!
So don’t underestimate others around you
Who knows .. they might pop up and be smarter than you!
Respect others
Respect the value of education
Respect the value of life
