Dinosaurs by Michael Cowman
I like dinosaurs 'cause they're mean,
And sometimes big and really green,
Dinosaurs are very hairy -
kinda like my Aunt Mary!
They stand 1000 feet off the ground,
And are extremely fat and round.
They have the most gigantic feet -
And all think I'd be good to eat! |
Writer's Constipation by Stephen Roberts
Dad is giving me stupid ideas
and none of them are right,
Mum says, "Stop shouting before you start a fight".
I'm very bored and I can't think of anything to say,
I'm getting a headache because I'm stuck here all day.
I'm writing a poem, my brothers watching TV,
I'm getting jeered because he calls me ET.
I' really tired and I'm getting indigestion,
I want to go to bed from writer's constipation.

Rap Absurd!
If the grown ups were kids,
And the kids were in the charge,
Then Bart would be Homer,
And Lisa would be Marge.
First thing I'd do,
Is cancel all school,
'Cos everybody knows,
That would be cool!
Dinners would be out,
Chuck 'em in the bin,
Sweets, crisps and ices
All would be in.
Lisa's and Bart's
Fantasy world,
You and I know
This is absurd!
We can tell Mam and Dad,
Exactly what to do,
"Wash the car! Sweep the floor!
And dry the dishes too!"
Tell the teachers to work,
We're all out to play,
"Hey Mr. Roberts
Extra Maths today!"

The Stallion by Mairéad Connaughton
Galloping 'round the fields in the mist
Taking sharp corners and all sorts of twists.
The sun shines down on your glossy black coat
You explore every ditch as if taking a note.
You're sniffing the flowers,
You're rolling about,
You're staring at the river and the jumping trout.
The birds swoop down and take your grain
You play with the rabbits and you don't complain.
The wind blows and tosses your mane
You don't care about it all the same.
You're the explorer
The leader of the gang
You're the stallion
The ruler of the land.
