Hoover Mover by Kathryn Evans

28/2/2017

0 Comments

 

​When there's call for a mop,
Uncle Joe is the top,
The grubbiest house he'll make gleam.

He's a right nifty  mover,
When  moving a hoover,
There's no rug that man cannot clean.

If a surface is dusty, 
Or rusty or crusty, 
With soap and a cloth he'll add sheen.

Lord Montague's Mice by George Kirk

20/2/2017

2 Comments

 
Lord Montague Herbert DeLacy Fitzroy
Had lived in his mansion since he was a boy.
It had twenty six bedrooms, a ballroom as well,
A block full of stables, a clock tower bell.
It had four poster beds, and its own indoor plumbing,
Its pillars and columns were really quite stunning.
But one thing it had that wasn’t so nice,
A large infestation of manor house mice.

Fish by Katherine Lynas

See this fish in my pocket?
Isn't it fine?
Bet you wish it was yours,
​But it isn't,
It's mine.

My Grandad Loves to Skateboard by Julie Anna Douglas

14/2/2017

5 Comments

 
My groovy Grandad loves to skateboard
up and down our street,
balanced carefully on just one hand
instead of on his feet.

He's a record breaking break-dancer
who likes a bit of tap.
He listens to heavy metal tunes
but loves to sing a rap.

Mr Muscle by Jo Dearden

Our Dad was on a mission
to get the housework done
He said he’d do a proper job…
…much better than our Mum

He chose his weapons wisely
Some Cif and Toilet Duck
They’d come in very handy for 
a one man war on muck

He fought the fusty front room
with a cloud of scented spray
And ran around in just his vest
and yelled, “Yippee Ki Yay!”
Funny housework poem from the funeverse by Jo Dearden

UnEGGspected by Dom Conlon

I thought I’d woken up at dawn
but apparently I’d just been born.
I’d only planned to walk and eat
as I waddled off on tiny feet.
I slipped, I slid, and then I fell
and looking back I saw my shell
all broken up upon my nest 
and then I knew I’d never rest
until I fixed it up again.

The Snow Duck, by Lesley Moss

Picture
One floating frozen feather of snow
falls, then another, and and off I go...
I slip, I stutter, I flutter my wings.
The world is full of freezing things.
I slide - I glide - I spin on my toes,
I lift my wings and strike a pose.
In the stillness, silence grows.

The Astounding Mouse-ecco by Mo O'Hara

2/2/2017

2 Comments

 
The Astounding Mouse-ecco,
Who dove in Prosecco,
Prepared for his most daring dive.

​The bubbles, he claimed,
​Were more soft than Champagne.
Twas the secret for how he survived.

​But alas on this day,
He'd forgotten to pay,
​And his glass was filled up with plain water.

He was still unaware,
​As he dove with great flare.
Now his act is performed by his daughter.
