 
Ode to the Eagles!
I am at Eagles Stadium
watching the game. I
hear cheering for the
quarterback. Snacking
on chips,fries, and hot
dogs, I hear the fans
yell. The football flies
through the air. Michael
Vick scores! Eagles win!

Ode to Tupac
Bald, black rapper,
young, intelligent man
He lived a tough life.
I can hear his fans
cheering to the sound
of thumping music. The
crowd is going crazy.
Rhyming words fill my
ears. He made millions.
Sad, violent death.

Ode to Wings
I want those wings! Hot
wings, drippy with hot
sauce. I like mine with
lots of spices. Firey hot,
they burn my tongue. I
love licking the sauce
off my fingers. I can
hear those wings sizzling
right now! Lip-smackin'
good!

Ode to Sweet Potatoes

sweet and gushy, they
slide down my throat,
making me feel warm
inside!

Ode To Monster!
Gotta have my Monster!
It is bubbly, good, and
refreshing. When the can
opens, it sizzles, like ocean
waves. Orange, green apple,
vanilla, cherry...I love them
all! It makes me crazy. When
I am all juiced up, I get
jittery. You can buy it in a
big, cold, can. It's my
favorite drink. Gotta have
My Monster!

Ode to Chocolate
Chocolate is...
The spice of life. There is
Dark chocolate, milk
chocolate,and white
chocolate. It can be
flat, round, in sections,
or in rolls. It sounds
lip-smackin' good,
when I eat it. It can
be hard or soft, chewy or
so smooth, it just melts
in your mouth. It smells
good and tastes yummy!
My favorite is any kind
of M & Ms.

Ode to Salmon
Soft, flaky, fresh
and pink, with silver
skin, salmon is my
favorite fish. I can
hear it sizzling in the
pan. There are lots
of ways to make salmon...
teriyaki, barbecue,
seasoned, in salads,
broiled, grilled, baked,
or fried...with rice pilaf.
But, any way you make it,
it's delicious!
-Lucas
Ode to the Tortilla
Hot, kind of rough, it

It makes me feel warm
inside.
-Eva
Ode to Tacos
How crunchy and loud to
the ear. Rough and greasy
to the touch. One sniff

them...spicy and hot!

Ode to a Chick
A soft, fluffy chick,
cute and small
sweetly chirping for
it's mother. A bright
sign of spring, making
children smile on
Easter Day. Tiny
fingers petting soft
yellow feathers. Growing
up too fast- Oh, what a
beautiful baby duck!

wobbly and delicious!

Chicken is ...
greasy, tan,
crunchy in
my mouth.
Delicious!

Ode to Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolatey, soft, warm and

a soft center. They taste best
dipped in milk.
