Charlie’s Tests By: Hui Xiang and Karishma I think I failed my test today, And I had to tell great lies. The inkblots were all red and gray, I think I saw someone fly. He said that his was a raw shok, And I pretended there was a leaking pen. But that still did not work, because He shook his head and away I was sent. Later I had more crazy tests, Needless to say I failed again. I tried my best to not be a pest, For someday knowledge is what I will gain.	Friends By: Isabelle Charlie thought his friends were  cool By thinking that he was a fool They never treated him fair They really didn’t care The Beginning By: Isabelle Charlie wasn’t all the smart But he had a good heart People didn’t treat him fair At that time he didn’t care Finally he took a stand And then became someone grand.	Charlie By: Christina and Hannah S. Charlie was not very bright He couldn’t even fly a kite He wanted to get smart, But didn’t know where to start Charlie had an operation This increased his hand-eye coordination He took many tests Always tried his best When he got smart So did his heart
Charlie’s Party By: Jeanne It happened this night, At the common pub, When Joe and Frank said: “We are going to have fun!” Charlie followed, Thinking “They are my friends” But they actually decided Not to give him a break They made him drink And drink and drink, Laughed and left him Completely drunk Police came and took him home, According to Mrs. Flynn. Police came and beat him up, According to Joe and Frank, Who were supposed to be his friends. Special thanks to Mrs. Ambrogi and Ms. McKenney.	Charlie Gordon By: Hannah C. Crash! Plates go crashing to the ground. A horror struck boy witnesses his mistake. As he crouches down, Laughter fills his ears, As the onlookers fill his heart with pain. Ha, ha, ha! Charlie finds himself joining in. Until he realizes what he has done. He leaps from his chair, As if he just sat on a pin. Charlie could feel a million eyes upon him. As the clients acknowledged this new character. “He’s still a human being!” Charlie scolds the customers with an angry heart. Helping the child from his worries. Shouting at the voices in his head, While he fled the scene, Trying to leave behind, All the memories that came flooding back! Will he ever return to his almost forgotten past?	Charlie By: Katinka and Maura Charlie was different from the rest He wasn’t as smart, and Was prone to Humiliation. Miss Kinnian recommended Him for a science operation, Motivation drove him To take part. Eager to succeed, Although he failed All the tests Because of the experiment, He met Algernon-just a mouse, His best friend in the end. Charlie and Algernon both Became smart, but Then Algernon died. A piece of Charlie Died too. What will Happen to Charlie?
