The lawnmower chomps up grass
and gulps it down.
“I want more!”

“I have no food in my empty tummy!”
“I want more food!”

It has a long nose like an anteater
which it sniffs up long grass with.
“Vrrrooom, sniff, vrrrrooom, sniff!”

It runs really fast
down the front and back lawn.
Vroom, vroom- racing like a roller skater.

It angrily steps on flowers
and when it leaves the flowers are gone.
It’s a clear, empty field or plain.

When it leaves
the tall grass is gone
and in its place there’s short, fresh, new lawn!

It cleans up the streets
like people on Earth Day.

It rumbles
like a hungry stomach.

It gulps snow…
“Gullllpp!”

It rakes
like neighbors in fall.

It has a big, yellow snout
like a monster.

“HUNGRY FOR MORE!” says the snowplow.

Uuuuummmmm! I’m hungry for dinner!
Someone please turn me on!
Click.
Finally! I’m on!
I’m sliding on the rug like an ice skater.
I’m looking for crumbs
Hunting and searching with my eagle eyes on the hunt.
Wait! There are some crumbs in the corner!
“I’m full!”
Please empty my stomach.
I need surgery!

The pencil sharpener gulps up wood from the pencil.
YUM! YUM!
Pencil sharpener wants more. “I WANT MORE!”
The handle from the pencil sharpener rolls all around
Like a person somersaulting.
Pencil sharpener still isn’t full.
I shake and gobble up more pencil shavings.
YUM! YUM!
Now I am full… no more!
I spit it all out.

“Click, click” goes the stapler
As it puts things together.
“Mmmm, I want to staple more!”
It releases it’s babies,
“Bye bye babies, I will miss you!”
Its mouth chews on paper corners.
BOOM! Goes the stapler like a person stamping.
“Munch, munch” don’t get near my teeth!

By Hannah and Samantha

I am like a baby eating up old grass

And spitting out newer, cleaner grass.

I am a cleaning, seatless vacuum

Vroom, Vroom…

I am like a gardener on roller skates

I clean up the dirty grass

While I skate on your lawn.

I’m like a hairdresser-

I give the grass a funky new ‘do!

When I’m done I say,

“Don’t ride your bike on the grass!”

By Dalvin and Aaron

I have teeth that gobble up pencil lead

I make the sound of a person chewing carrots

Crrrunch, Crrrunch…

I have an arm like a pitcher

winding up in baseball-

ready to sharpen!

My pencil sharpener holder

throws up the shavings

like a person with an upset stomach.

I have 8 mouths like a monster

eating up pencils and grinding them up

The pencil sharpener says, “I’M HUNGRY! GIVE ME MORE!!!”

By Serena and Natalie

I split out salt like a salt shaker.

I clean snow like a cleaning lady.

I sweep it aside,

Making little mountains of snow

for kids to jump in.

I am like a broom-

My job is to sweep up the snowy mess.

Once I’m done, the streets are clear

And kids can back to school.

“Ohhh man!”

I am a snowplow.

By Cris, Manny and Jessica

I can stitch paper together

Like a doctor stitching patients.

I have sharp, metal teeth

That bite through the paper.

I eat lots of paper at one time

Like a baby shoving Cheerios in his mouth.

I am a stapler.

By James, Samantha, Atesh, and Xavier

A vacuum is like a cleaning lady robot.

A vacuum is like Danny Tanner on Full House saying,

“Don’t walk on the carpet! I just finished cleaning!”

It munches and gobbles up crumbs and dust bunnies!

HmmmmGrrrrrrHmmmmGrrrrr…

Growling at dirt

Plug me in and watch me go!
