Karate
By Michael Malinski, Grade 3, Age 8

Karate stands
for embpy hand.

No guns no weapons
to defend,
and at the end,
we bow and bend,
to our opponent friend.

I learned some moves that have funny names,
like "Monkey Block and Balancing Cranes".

I always enjoy a match of sparring,
if I win I'm really smiling.

When I tie my skinny belt;
I have always quietly knelt.

Lots of people enjoy karate.

KIAL!
