If I Were Lost... By George Kirk

26/2/2016

​
If I were lost in the deep dark wood,

To be raised by wolves would be no good.
With fur that sheds and their biting fleas,
My skin would itch and my nose would sneeze.

A World in a Room by Kathryn Evans

​While sitting quite still
I have raced up a hill.
In my room all alone,
I have dived and I’ve flown.

Dear Mum  by Mo O'Hara

1/11/2015

 
You know I don’t exaggerate and I’m rarely heard to moan. 
I’m not the type to over-hype, to grumble or to groan.

This tale of baby rivalry
Began when Mrs. Simms
Gave birth to healthy baby boys,
First Ben, then Len, the twins.

To the Rescue! by Katherine Lynas

9/10/2015

 
When Molly's bitten by a flea,
When Molly falls and bangs her knee,
When Molly loses squishy bear,
When Molly tangles all her hair,
To the rescue, Super Brother!

My darling little sister, Liz,

drank some fizz and caused a tizz
upon my birthday with us all
and now we wish that she would fall.

Trending #BusStopAliens, by Lesley Moss

Strange faces waiting for the bus.
Are they aliens, or are they ‘one of us’?
Whatever ‘one of us’ means, I don’t really know.

BATTLE OF THE TOILET TRAINERS by Rebecca Colby

I’ve had enough. Watch out! I’m mad!
The dog is making me look bad.
They think because his paper’s dry,
he’s toilet trained. “He’s not!” I cry.

New Boots by Katherine Lynas

8/7/2014

funny poem new boots
From Soles the shoe shop I collected,
Boots I lovingly selected.      
                   
I carefully unwrapped their box,     
And pulled them over stripy socks.   
 
They would not walk upon the floor,          
But started climbing up the door.     
          
Then headed off across the ceiling,               
Giving me a sickly feeling.   

Suddenly they jumped down hard,
And sprinted off into the yard.

Then out the gate and down the track,
I don’t think I am coming back.

STOP IT! by Katherine Lynas

30/9/2013

0 Comments

 
Someone keeps putting these things in my way.
It's causing me problems, 
I just have to say,
STOP IT please Someone,
Please put things away,
For I am the one that always must pay.

I've a bruise on my bottom,
A scab on my knee,
A scratch on my forearm,
Oh please can't you see,
That I'm bruised and I'm battered,
I'm blue and I'm black.
My head is all swollen
From when it went CRACK!

So STOP IT please Someone,
Please put things away,
Or I will get angry and ruin your day!

Muriel May Macarthy by Em Lynas

Muriel May Macarthy, was the clumsiest girl in the world.
She fell over her feet when she ran in the street.
She swirled and she twirled, and she whirled.

General Gluteus Maximus by Meagan Munroe

General Gluteus Maximus
is a pain in the behind.
He’s uptight about where he sits,
but me?
I really don’t mind.

Wherever I go he follows,
that terrible bossy old rump.
If seating isn’t up to scratch
He complains and gets the hump.

General Gluteus Maximus
is a demanding derrière.
Comfy seats are important to him,
but me?
I really don’t care.

I’m tired of his choosy cheeks.
His snobbishness is a bore.
If he doesn’t start behaving soon
I’ll park him on the floor.

General Gluteus Maximus
is a great big uppity bum.
Every chair must be perfect,
but me?
I think that’s dumb.

We may come to an agreement.
An arrangement that is fair.
Let’s work out the details
in this antique rocking chair.

General Gluteus Maximus
I now understand your plight.
This is the best sitting down I have done.
My bottom fits just right!

Robert's Suit by George Kirk

17/3/2013

Ding Dong!

Robert darling, come and see,
Grandma Ivy’s here for tea.
Her lips are pursed expectantly.

She won’t think I’m quite so cute
Now I’m in my special suit.


Ding Dong!

Come here Robbie, don’t be shy,
Great Aunt Aggie’s just popped by
To get her weekly hug supply.

She’ll soon forget her hug request
When she sees just how I’m dressed.

Ding Dong!

Now then Rob, don’t be remiss,
Come give your Granny Rose a kiss,
She’s waited six long weeks for this.

 
She might decide to wait some more
When I open up this door.

CREEEEEEAK

At last, here’s Robert. Where have you been?
And what are you doing in that machine?
Don’t get too close, you’ll make us scream!

Hello grannies, no need to huddle,
Come and get a ROBOT cuddle!

I am an Inventor by Mo O'Hara

13/3/2013

I am an inventor of buzzy wuz things:
Flog choppers, space swooshers and all things with wings.

There's something inside me that just loves to see,
Flip floating, swing swooping ships swirling round me.

I make wiberty jubbits and flittery flubes.
Lots of puffity tubbits and jittery shloos.

Sometimes buggity wugits with prickly stings
or a spinnery spugit that plops, pops and pings.

And I take them all outside at least once a day
And let them buzz round in the sky for a play.

Then when winders wind down and puffers loose steam,
I tuck them up so they can recharge and dream.

You Have Been Warned! by Meagan Munroe

Charles Cornelius Trumpington Pout
should never have eaten that leftover sprout.
It puffed up his belly with gases most foul,
churning and gurgling deep in his bowel.

Banished to bed with a rumbling tum,
he was kept awake by his grumbling bum.
His bulging gut could not be restrained.
The vapours within would not be contained.

You won't be seeing him anytime soon,
his bottom blasted him straight to the moon.
So here ends the tale of young Master Pout
who should never have eaten that leftover sprout.

Trying to Fly by Mo O'Hara

You can’t.
I can.
You can’t!
I can!
You’ll fall and end up
smooshed like spam!
Oh no I won’t.
 I have a plan.
Look, you can’t fly.
Those aren’t real wings,
They’re just some frondy
Branchlike things.
I know. They’re just there
for the look.
I thought I’d do it
by the book,
And have some wings
At least for show.
Great you’ve got wings,
Now can we go?
This flying thing is so absurd.
You’re just a kid,
You’re not a bird!
Yes I’m a kid
But I can fly.
I don’t know how.
I don’t know why.
I just know that
I have to t
                  r
                      y...
Oh, I can’t look.
Open your eyes!
You’re  flying?! Wow,
That’s a surprise.
Nah I knew
I’d fly you see.
But there is one thing
That’s bugging me.
I might need you
To lend a hand?
I’m really not sure
How to land.
