The funeverse poets are thrilled to welcome Chris Riddell, The Waterstones Children's Laureate, to our site. One of Chris's aims is to encourage children to sketch more so Maureen's opening poem is a call to arms!

With a belly full of stinky beer,
He's a most disgusting buccaneer.

She fell over her feet when she ran in the street.
She swirled and she twirled, and she whirled.
