My Doggy Ate My Essay
My doggy ate my essay.
He picked up all my mail.
He cleaned my dirty closet
and dusted with his tail.He straightened out my posters
and swept my wooden floor.
My parents almost fainted
when he fixed my bedroom door.I did not try to stop him.
He made my windows shine.
My room looked like a palace,
and my dresser smelled like pine.He fluffed up every pillow.
He folded all my clothes.
He even cleaned my fish tank
with a toothbrush and a hose.I thought it was amazing
to see him use a broom.
I’m glad he ate my essay
on “How to Clean My Room.
(thank you Ella)

The Lion King: Tiny Desk Concert
Imagine you are at work and then this happens one cubicle over. I love Tiny Desk Concerts so very much. Fun fact: The first Tiny Desk Concert came about in 2008 after Bob Boilen and NPR Music editor Stephen Thompson left South by Southwest frustrated that they couldn’t hear the music over the crowd noise. Thompson joked that the musician, folk singer Laura Gibson, should just perform at Boilen’s desk. A month later Boilen arranged for her to do just that, making an impromptu recording and posting it online. The name is taken from Boilen’s 1970s psychedelic dance band called Tiny Desk Unit.
