Corinth Middle School: Mrs. Irving's Class


When I am exhausted, I am like a white three-toed sloth.
I hang around in a green leaf tree.
I am just too tired to get down or swing to a near-by tree.

When I am jealous, I am like a big gray and black T-rex.
I push my way through anyone and anything to get whatever they got.
I always try to do something that I think is better than what they did.

When I am hungry, I am like a big brown and black bear.
I search through places to find something to eat.
I scare everyone off to look in that place for food.

When I am angry, I am like a black amd white coyote.
I chase helpless little creatures to get my anger out.
Once my anger is out I have to wait until I am angry again.

When I am sad I am like a small lonely puppy that has lost its hard, white, chewy bone.
I search but I don't find it, so a smile doesn't come on my face.
I stay sad for awhile until someone or something cheers me up.
