Hi I come from Smiths Falls Ontario Canada. This is a small town just off the Rideau River System. Lots of tourists come here to see the rideau cannal and to watch the bears play. I could lead you on a long story of how the rideau canal was built and of all the lives that were lost because of either accidents or sickness during the building of this piece of art but I must tell you of our famous bears. These are a unusual bear because not of the colour nor of the things they do, but these bears play on the ice in the winter. I have hunted bears before but here scouts come around to find exceptional ones. Most of them are good and a few even the best at the game they put on. I do love these bears. I can't really say I have watched these bears for long because of the time of year they are out because I, not like these bears would either like to hibernate in Florida or snuggle beside the fire. I don't really know when the bears started playing on the ice but there must be someone around Smiths Falls who can verify that. I see signs all over stating the bears are playing again. I hope I can bear the cold and go watch them this year. There playing is very fast and people crowd to see them. I know now they named Smiths Falls home of the Bears but still can't understand why these creatures hybernate in the summer and come out in the winter, I wonder if you can tell me other than someone tells you? Smiths Falls is home to The Bears -------hockey team by Keith Sherrard

The STORIES and POETRY of MINE

My Computer

The computer is a new toy to me, It gives me old forgotten memories! The stories I write, all can't be true, Funny what this computer can do.
It takes its time to start, like now, Then it writes so fast, I don't know how! Then when I think I'm done, It checks the spelling where I did wrong? The further inside it, the further it makes me see, I'm glad this computer belongs to me! I tell it a tale, just how far I would go, To learn why it makes me act just so. How to get here, how to get there, Instruction, instructions I know not where? Someone told me what to do! Instructions, instructions well here's to you. What will I do, if I learn this thing? Trying to learn, oh what fun it will bring. I'll be a computer whiz I know! How to shut this computer off, here I go!
