What's Up Guys?

It's been a long time since I last posted! In all that time, we went swimming like 20 times, 'cause we live in an apartment with a pool. My cousins and my grandma (they live in the SD area) came over to swim too. School ended for me. Did I tell you that? I read a lot of books- especially poem books! I'm very fond of poem books. I think I wanna tell you one of my favorite poems. It's from a mag for girls called Hopscotch. It's called Horse Sense.

Horse Sense by Jean Conder Soule
My neighbor has a pony
Who lives next door to me.
I often see him standing
Close by my apple tree.

He seems to know I'm waiting
Beyond our dooryard fence.
I watch him as he prances
As if he has a special sense.

And he's sure I have a carrot
Or a sugar lump or two.
But if his treat's an apple,
Here's what he'll always do.

He accepts my gift politely
And nods his silky head
As if he's saying thank you
For an apple, yellow or red.
