What Words Have You for a Pie?
Lately I've been making these comics for first year students. They come up with their own English dialogue for the speech bubbles. I received responses for the above comic all last week and I was delighted by how creative the kids could be in English. My favourite has the woman saying that she baked the pie "too big" and the cat in the last panel says, "The pie is too big for them but it is the best size for me." Another kid had the cat praising the pie but remarking its filling shouldn't have been berries but cat food instead.

The white replaced the powder blue at sea.
Misguided wrecks were filled with data drops.
The silver ones could never add to three.
The shoe alone from feet just barely hops.
A stack of stones reported life beyond.
Arresting clocks, the pieces pummelled grids.
A trillion frogs enriched the tiny pond.
The auction closed to count a trillion bids.
The question broke to three before the drill.
The little face was caught between the clouds.
With knowledge lost, the village lost its will.
But dancing happed when gone were human crowds.
The second bubble burst before the last.
Enlarging soap, they cleaned a paper past.
