    Dear Mr. Pahl

    I literally can't get those little rhymes out of my head. Especially the 11x4 is 44 I've got to do something about that door, one. That was my mom, dad, and I's favorite one out out of all of them! Maybe you could make another rap video but just with x7's; that would help me and maybe some other people in both AM and PM classes.

    sincerely,

    Sarah.M
