V wanted to share his creative writing for the day. His assignment was to describe someone he knows well using his senses. He chose to concentrate on sight, sound, and smell.

I have a friend named Jim. He has gray hair. He has a cowboy shirt and pants. He wears cowboy boots because he has tons of cowboy boots. He is carrying a saddle with both hands. He has a mustache. You know how you have like a beard, but he has that all shaved off. He has a white, black, or brown cowboy hat. He has a band around the hat, like a cowboy band. He wears vests.

He has a tough voice which sounds like a grown-up. That’s just how he is. When he’s carrying a saddle, he’s grunting. Once he gets the saddle on the horse’s back, he takes a big breath. When he is mucking out the stalls, the pitchfork he has makes a scraping sound on the bottom of the stall. Once he flies the poop into the wheel barrel, it makes a big quiet bang.

He smells like he is always out in the barn. He doesn’t smell like that on Sundays. He takes a shower. On Monday he still smells like he took a shower, but after a while he smells like he is always working in the barn. YEEHAW!
