Reggie&nbsp; By: Jackson Springer&nbsp; Reggie brings me happiness I think about him all day&nbsp;&nbsp; We rescued him from a shelter&nbsp;&nbsp; He can be naughty no matter what we say He likes stealing from the counter all day&nbsp; We say, “No no that's not nice”&nbsp; And sometimes he tries to eat mice&nbsp; The snow falls from the sky&nbsp; He rolls around in it A love we didn’t have to train Licking me like rain&nbsp; Boom! He collapses on me&nbsp;&nbsp; He is like a snowball, so soft He is a little loud&nbsp;&nbsp; All day hugging me Like a cloud&nbsp; Reggie has been bringing me joy Ever since I was a young boy

Softball&nbsp; By: Sophie Greenberg There are 2 outs&nbsp; The bases are loaded&nbsp; Tie game It's up to me. I’m up to bat The pitcher throws a fast one Just like my heart beating I take a few practice swings A home run is coming I feel it&nbsp; I step up to the plate&nbsp; Ready to hit

The softball jumps out of the pitcher's hand Starts out as a low pitched ball then turns&nbsp; It comes straight down the middle&nbsp; I swing hard&nbsp; The hardest I ever swung&nbsp; BAM! Out of the ballpark I run I run as fast as the speed of light&nbsp; 1st base 2nd base 3rd base Home! I did it I did it&nbsp; We won!
