BEST FOR THE END.

Hey, Kids!

Send us your pictures and poems--we'll publish as many as we can. Please send only YOUR OWN WORK. Pictures should be on unlined paper, and poems should be twelve lines or less. Include your name, age, and address, and mail to: "Best for the End," U*S*Kids, P.O. Box 567, Indianapolis, IN 46206.

NOTE: All work becomes the property of U*S*kids; submissions cannot be returned. Because we receive so many drawings and poems, we're not able to print every one. But we do look at all of your submissions, and we'd like to say, "Thank you!"

Cleaning Time

by Anna Cronk
Springview, Nebraska
   It is Saturday morning.
   Today is going to be boring;
   I have to clean my room.
   I will have to face doom.
   My room looks like a bomb went boom!
   I will have to clean and clean
   Until my mom has beamed
   That my room has been cleaned.
