At My Cousin's Birthday

by Loko

Being at my cousin's birthday party was fun.

When it was time for the piñata

my cousin who was taller than me

broke it open

we all ran for the candy

it tasted good.

Some were open from the hard swing.

Some little kids wanted a lot of candy

even if it was open but they didn't 

know anything, really, because

they were so little.

I had a lot of candy, but I had to share it 

with my brother, little sister, big sister

because they didn't have a lot, so we put all

the candy together.

We played games.  We ate food

then played a little more games.

Then we sang happy birthday, and

ate the cake.
