The Beaches of Mexico

Sorting out my old clippings... 

This CAROLYN GRAHAM's Jazz Chant is from  my 2004 English class.

Have you ever seen the beaches of Mexico?

Have you ever walked the streets of San Juan?

Have you ever been to Haiti?

Have you ever been to Spain?

Have you ever walked barefoot

In the pouring rain?

Have you ever been in trouble?

Have you ever been in pain?

Have you ever been in love?

Would you do it all again?

Well, I've never seen the beaches of Mexico.

I've never walked the streets of San Juan.

I've never been to Haiti.

I've never been to Spain.

I've never walked barefoot

In the pouring rain.

But I've sure been in trouble,

I've sure been in pain,

I've sure been in love,

I'd do it all again.

A Strange Story Told by a 6-year Old

One time pirates went for a far-far away trip. They went there because they wanted to guess the things that were happening to the Earth. it was always nighttime and the little kids had not time to play. The only way how to stop this was to find the treasure and a key to open a treasure and bring it back to Earth and give it to the richest man of the whole world.

They traveled and traveled for 100s and 100s of days.

They came to the highest mountain where was the treasure and a key. They took it to their boat and then gave it to the richest man of the world.

And then everybody lived happy ever after.
