CANDY BANDITS
All around the world
candy has vanished from houses and stores.
Everyone is really sad …
They will get to like: cheese, crackers, rice, bread, and fruit.
It’s for their health, after all!
Their health is a joy.
Sorry, people.
Hope you like all your healthy food!
HA ha ha ha ha ha
Happy April Fool’s Day, folks!

Why do you like to write poetry?
Rosemary Santos: “I like to write poems because my Daddy writes them. It’s like singing but talking. Poetry is a beautiful way to express your feelings and it’s really fun to write!”
