It's my turn now

to put a seven down

While we play the game of mow

Just to make Emily frown

place on a pile a crown

Emily is now mad and is going to get me back

We change the suits around

Emily now wants to give me a good wack

but I know she would not do that so there she sat

Candy could be sweet or it can be sour

My favorite candy is sour skittles

Chocolate can be eaten by the hour

On candy boxes there should be riddles

And some of those candies are very brittle

One of my favorite mint are candy-canes

Some tasty candy can be very little

Sometimes you may think candy is raining

Sometimes people think they're right on candy lane

A very colorful day with purple, pink and red is Valentines

It is a heartfelt and you possibly can't forget mushy

I can't possibly think why some people want it to be all the time

the gross thing about it is the candy can be smushy

as long as when you open a card it doesn't say be mine

I wouldn't dare to pay a dime to hear will you be mine one more time

It is a very hard and difficult to try and rhyme

Valentines day can be very good and sweet

It can be good with the cards and very sweet

If I were to meet Green Day

Billie you are so cool

We would play Mao and eat hay

Mike would you swim in my pool

Tre' you're dumber than a mule

Green Day is awesome as you can see

They do not go to school

They are much more awesome than you could be

I like to play football at lunch

I push the people to block

Listening to the bones crunch

Listeningf to the quarterback talk

in the end they just mock

It feels good scoring

But not when there's no second on the clock

It feels so good when you win the playoffs

But when you lose the playoffs you just want to CRY!!

Breanna is my best friend

We tell each other everything

We will be friends to the end

For each other we will do anything

always there for every little thing

Thats what friends do

To me, my friends are everything

They will gladly do anything for you

And, as always, they will always be there for you.
