Spring Poems

(a little note of explanation: When I was in third grade my teacher encouraged us to write books-stories, poetry, etc-in our free time at school and then read them to the class during a designated time slot. I apparently wrote a book of "spring poems" at one point. Reading them now I think they are slightly ridiculous and rather more like prose (actually, much more prose) than poetry, but I liked them when I wrote them. Anyway, here they are [with original grammar and spelling:)

My Birthday
My birthday is in May which is in 
Spring. I like the time of year because spring 
is my favorite season. I like it because 
it is not to hot and not to cold. I like my 
birthday which is in spring.

MAYFLIES
Mayflies are very, very 
annoying. It seems like there 
all around you. It seems like 
there on you all the time. They 
make me feel itchy, because there 
so small and all around you. I think 
Mayflies are very, very annoying.

The Months In Spring
The months in spring are April, May, 
and June. April is the beginning of 
spring, May is the month of my birthday, 
and June is the end of spring.

I Don't Know What to Write
I don't know what to write about sprig 
beside it is warm, I like spring, and I Don't like 
Mayflies. Althoug I already wrote about those things, 
so I thought this would be o.k.

Some people These Days
Some people these days are weird. Some people 
these days are funny. Some people these days 
like to sing. Some people these days are loud and some 
people these days like to write poems like this.
(and apparently at the end of the book there was a place to write our hobbies. Mine? "writing, tailking, drawing, helping and, cleaning" and there was a place for comments from the other students. Some of them were: “I really liked your pepole these days, poem it rimed so good.” “I like your poens but they could of ryme but they were grat”)
so, yeah, in case you were wondering what my writing was like when I was 8 or 9 there it is. :)
