I snapped an unlucky worm in two, and drank up some convenient dew. It got out of the way of a beetle's roam, and that's the end of Emily's poem.     -- Ava N. I chose William Shakespeare. The words that came out of his mouth, I like to hear. It made me joyous and happy, Even if I felt crappy. He puts a  ?  smile on my face, As his words gently glide through space.  -- Hillary H.  Everyone will participate in the remaining challenges.
