TEACHING POEMS



    Dorothia Johnson had just recently, arrived in

    New York City from St. Louis, Missouri.

    She, like millions of other people, loved New York.

    She, like millions of others went sightseeing in New York.

    She took a tour of the city.

    She went to museums.

    She went to the Park, and to the zoo, and to the aquarium.

    She went shopping.



    Finally, she went to see some landmarks.

    She decided to visit the Empire State Building.

    She decided to take a picture of the Empire State Building.



    She was arrested.  She was arrested.

    She was arrested.    

    The New York Police asked her her name, her address, her age, her social security number, other information, what she was doing in New York, why she was taking a picture of a building.

    The FBI asked her her name, her address, her age, her social security number, other information, what she was doing in New York.

    The US Secret Service asked her her name, her address, her age, her social security number, other information, what she was doing in New York, and why she was taking pictures.

    Investigators from the US Homeland Security Department asked her her name, her address, her social security number, what she was doing in New York, and why she was taking pictures.

            Just for taking a picture.

            Just for taking a picture.

            Just for taking a picture.
