Poems
The Cat: Chapter 1
By: Adam Weisbrod
Once upon a time there
was a cat and his two friends
that were aliens. The aliens
were so nice to the cat.
First, one day when the cat
and his friends were
preparing to set the ship for
take-off the look
disappeared, and the weird
look was not a good guy.
Also, you can guess what
“it” was. That weird looks
home was CPS. CPS was a
true meanie and a bossy
woman, and CPS has a
whole army. When he shot
his SPC gun the two alien
friends turned into bad
guys, and then they became
part of his army. Then cat
turned into a bad guy. Mr.
Cat broke the alien’s
bracelets and the bad
butterfly came out. They
caught it in a net and then
they killed it. Mr. Cat was
still a bad guy and the two
aliens were good guys. The
cat had a fire sticking out of
his shirt so they had to use
strong cataclysm to destroy
the fire made to get cat’s
bracelet. After that, they
took cat’s bracelet and

broke it and the butterfly
came out. They got a net
and then they killed it. Then
the ship took off and then
they travelled to alien
world. They went in a circle
and the alien scanner
scanned them, and then
they were totally good to go
into alien world. It is
dangerous in alien world
because the witch in alien
world and her whole army
threw potions at the two
aliens and cat. When the
head witch of the army
threw it, it almost touched
the ship, but they were fine.
Then the ship threw a bomb
aiming right at the witches
bracelets. The bomb hit all
of the witches bracelets and
ten million thousand
butterflies came out of the
witches bracelets, including
the head witches bracelet
which had one hundred
million butterflies. Luckily
they had enough space in
the net to catch all the
butterflies. Then the head
witch and her whole army
disappeared into the alien
night. They lived happily
ever after.
