Poetry
A human
by Gilbert Huang, age 9
Gilbert Huang
A human’s life is as an alien’s life. This human has two feet and hairs.
It lives in a house and eats with its hair. But actually we guess that
humans eat like that. A piece of paper told us how humans are.
A human goes to work every day even Saturday and Sunday
and never gets a holiday. It grabs things with its feet.
