Fiction Gone Wrong Poem by Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)

Everybody thinks I only know how to write about things that happen in real life-my life. So I have decided to prove them all wrong. Today, I'm going to write the greatest piece of fiction ever to leak its way out of a pen. You are watching the biggest moment in history unfolding. Hold on to something because this is gonna blow you away.3...2...1...err, what am I writing about in the first place? Right, thats embarrassing. Alright people, everything's under control. Not to worry, Risha the Great definitely has something extraordinary up her sleeve. Hmm, since I don't want to make you pass out from the glory of my work, let me write about something simple. How about a...tooth? Once upon a time there was a tooth. That doesn't sound very interesting. Let's give that another try. This is the tale of the brave tooth Enamel Cavity (cool name huh? bet you want it for yourself! : P) who was born in the boring town of Dentesia (Not a very gripping start but lets just get on with the story) . Enamel was tired of being confined to his town where they only spoke about teeth. In school they were taught about the anatomy of a tooth. Jobs included tooth repair, tooth journalism, singing about teeth, dentists and even tooth photography! However, Enamel was not interested in any of that. (I'm getting really bored talking about teeth. They don't have much of a life do they? Just chew, chew, chew and then get knocked out by the bully of the school) He wanted to escape from the town of Dentesia and venture into other worlds. And one day during his history lesson when he was learning about the second war between the Molars and the Incisors, he made his grand escape. Not exactly grand as his teacher spotted him and put him in detention next to the school bully Root Canal. Fortunately for Enamel, Root had his share of bashing up the others and was snoring away at his desk (Ok, now I'm getting fed up with teeth. Let's just get out of this world soon) . Enamel clambered onto the windowsill and jumped out. He saw the barrier which separated the tooth world and the worlds beyond. Enamel took a deep breath before walking through it. This was the first time somebody from his world was venturing out. Ah! Who am I kidding? ? I can't write this! Fiction is driving me up the wall. I'm practically bald from tearing out tufts of my hair. What are you staring at me for? ? Aha, look at you laughing just because I can't write a teeny-tiny story. Oh! You're roaring like a maniac. And now you're saying, 'I told you so! ' Ok fine! I admit I can't write fiction. But I bet you can't write comic non-fiction half as well as I can. Muahahahaha! ! Oh alright, my non-fiction sucks too. So while I ponder about what I'm best at (other than Facebook) , why don't you just go watch some TV or beg your mom for a piece of cheese like a good little kid. Or if you are not a kid, just do what all the other adults do. Be boring. Goodnight and whatever. You haven't seen the last of me! ! Muahahahaha! !
