“Dear Farmer Brown”

Evidently, my farm boy has been learning about persuasive writing at school.  I know this, not because he told me (because his description of a school day is, “Fine.”) but because I discovered the following letter while going through a stack of school papers.

Dear Farmer Brown,

I wanted to tell you that your barn is really cozy.  So, I was thinking this year why don’t you set me aside?  Here are some reasons why.  I could help you by keeping foxes away.  I could eat more so I would get fatter for next year.  I could sing you Old McDonald for Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

Turkey Ethan

I’m persuaded.  You?
