Driving late at night
A yellow line disappears
I was right ticked off

In Ahern Manor
A drunken bum pounds the door
I phoned the police

I saw an old man
Cruising down Forest Hill Park
On a mountain bike

He rode past tracks, trails, and fields
On his small, grey bike
Attached to a lawn mower

“The Goonies”

by Ann Darville

I watched a video last night. It was a mystery/action film. The name of the movie was “The Goonies.”

The main characters were a group of kids who were searching for a treasure. There were also adults who were following the kids to the treasure.

The movie starts when two boys find a treasure map in their home. The map describes a pirate ship with a treasure inside the ship. The boys decide to go on a treasure hunt. The treasure hunt starts at a scary old house. Under the house there are tunnels, waterfalls and a pirate ship. The adults (an old woman, her son, an escaped convict and a friend of the old woman) are following the kids.

The old woman knew about the treasure hunt. The adults wanted the treasure for themselves. The adults followed the kids because the kids had the map.
