Movie Review: The Hunger Games,
Mockingjay Part 2
‘Twas the Insomnia Exotic Ginger Bread
‘Twas the night before school, and I
was awake.
Despite it being midnight, there’s not a
minute of sleep I’d take.
The laptop glowing bright, hours of
Netflix shows.
The longer I’m awake, the more I start
to doze.
One in the morning now, I start to
worry.
I turn off the electronics in a hurry.
Two in the morning now, I just won’t
sleep.
It’s dangerous in the kitchen, can’t
wake anyone with a microwave beep.
Three in the morning, I start to feel
tired.
Why is this so difficult, when I know
eight hours are required?
It was quite the shock when I saw the
clock read 4:08.
How is anyone able to stay up this
late?
Okay, okay. I’m really going to try.
If I looked at the time right now, I’d
probably cry.
Finally, I stopped thinking about the
paper that is due tomorrow, and how
my life is full of sorrow.
Now, for some reason, something got
very loud.
Really? It feels as if I’m on a cloud.
I smack my hand down on the button,
and raise my head up.
Man, will it be bad when I am a
grownup.

year, we made a Rapunzel-themed
castle. Last year, we made a Frozenthemed castle.
We make them out of normal gingerbread products and some extra
thought. A good trick is to use candy
for other purposes than you see them
being used for in the store. For example,
