Grandparents give the best hugs. 
Grandparents give the best gifts. 
But most of all they are great love givers.

Nature is beautiful especially in the summer. 
But if we destroy it, there will be no nature. 
So treat it good.

Rockaway is a great town.
Rockaway is where there is good people.
I am glad to live in Rockaway.

Army jeeps are rugged.
Army jeeps are fast.
Army jeeps are cool.
Army jeeps are the best.

Sun flowers oh sun flowers
how you make me smile with your powers
I love to look at you for hours and hours

My love, oh my love
how you make mme fly like a dove
you see I want you to marry me.

Christmas time, oh Christmas time
is such a merry time
to be with our family
and little boys like bambi
Christmas time is such a merry time
like a chime.

My Mom, oh my Mom is so nice
it is like throwing dice
you see
she cares for me.

My cat mittens is so cute
and would also look cute in a suit
but if you hold her really hard
with out a doudt
you will get a fur ball in the mouth.

Greece is nice
and I'm glad it does not have any mice
and those poor cats who live there
they are lucky they don't get eatin by a bear.

My Dad is great
but watch out my Dad is a black belt
so don't use him for live bait
and I love him mate.

My Grandpa, I love for being good to me
and all the above
and I like that somebody is my buddy.

I love my Grandma. she is the best
She teaches me before I leave the nest
I know my mom does that too
but Grandma, I love you.

I love my teacher Mrs. Milite
but it’s a pity
that she gets stress
but I like her dress

I also like Mrs. Hennesey
that teaches me language arts
And how I love to learn her the smarts
