New Zine Sweeps the Internet!!
Hello, and welcome to the Tea and Crumpets. The Crumpets is a newspaper-magazine-thing that includes anything anybody writes or draws or traces or says. Basically, it includes a variety of things, as long as people send them in. I need stuff to print. Send your stories, essays, reports, pictures, photographs, games, card tricks, jokes, IM conversations, opinions, comments, questions, etcetera, to me,
unicornsmist@hotmail.com.
I'll probably print anything, serious or silly, boring or exciting. Just let me correct your spelling and I'll be happy. Actually, I think I'll survive if you don't send me anything.
Mary Moberly,
Senior Editor of the
Tea and Crumpets
Young Girl Spies on Nothing
Mary Moberly
On July 1, 2004 I was bored, so I went outside to spy on people crossing the sidewalk. Like Harriet the Spy, I took notes in a little notebook. This is what the notebook said:
It's a rainy day, and here I am in my front yard, hiding behind a tall, wet, green plant watching traffic on Hudson Avenue. I can't see inside most of the cars because of the rolled-up tinted windows. Most of the cars are just boring white ones. Nothing interesting.
I wish it wasn't raining. All the people are inside. I want to observe them. But the sidewalk is across the street, so even if some people did come, I wouldn't be able to observe them very well, or hear what they are talking about. And this plant is dripping water all over my notebook. And this mosquito has already bitten my arm (don't mosquitoes get wet? It's a wonder that it isn't drowning in a raindrop.), and there is not a car in sight, so I'm venturing across the street.
Emma is a good Sister
Benjamin Moberly
Emma is my best friend and my best sister. She sometimes plays Duplos with me. If I was messing up Emma's room Emma would say Benjamin what are you doing. I would say OH NO! And run away. If I was eating some of Emma's food Emma would say Uh Benjamin what are you doing. I would say OOPS wrong plate. If I was eating some of Emma's popcorn she would say Hey! What do you think you you're doing. I would say OOPS and run and drop the popcorn onto the floor Spluck! If I was quiet Emma would say It sure is quiet in here and I would start getting noisy.
Hog Cannot be Found
Mary Moberly
Last night, 10 PM a big bad pig spotted a brick house with three wolves outside and... whack! Down went the big brick house. Then three wolves escaped with their teapot. That is how 12-year-old Alexander wolf describes last night's incident.
The hog suspect has not been found anywhere. Police officers have told guards about the pig. Wanted signs have been hung everywhere. Wherever the pig is he is probably getting ready for his next step to having wolf chops for dinner.
