Poetry by 6th Class January 2002

Useless Things

A fridge without food,

A surfboard without a dude,

Shoes without feet,

The sun without heat.

 

Iron without a smith a smith,

An orange without a pip,

Cars without fuel,

A builder without a tool.

 

A book with without pages,

A job without wages,

A pool without water,

A Father without a Son or Daughter,

 

A kettle that doesn’t boil,

A friend that isn't loyal,

A newspaper with no words,

A nest with no birds.

 

Food without taste,

Bins without waste,

Legs without feet,

Drums without a beat.

 

A heart without love,

Peace without a Dove,

A ship without a crew,

Me without you.

 

By: Tanya, Rona, Hannah, Noel, Daniel, and Colm

 

 Useless things

A cooker without heat

A butcher without meat
A king without gold

Winter without cold

 

A farmer without a farm

A human without an arm

A dog without a head

A mattress without a bed

 

A plane without wings

A jeweler without any rings

Socks without feet

Snow without sleet

 

A face without a smile

A journey without a mile

A nest without eggs

A person without legs

 

A boat without a dock

A tick without a tock

A captain without a cap

A sink without a tap

 

Music without a voice

Picking without a choice

A door without a knob

Britney without Rob

 

By: Sinéad, Damien, Helena, Bernard, Rob and Caoimhín

 

Useless things

 

Soccer without a ball

A cliff without a fall

Boxers without fists

Birthdays without gifts,

 

A road without a car

A shop without a bar

A farmer without a herd

The sky without a bird,

 

A house without a roof

A bang without a poof

A car without wheels

A dinner without meals,

 

A shoe without a lace

A winner without a race

A sea that’s not blue

A quiz without a clue,

 

A job without wages

Robbers without cages

Aonghus has no money

Aonghus isn't funny,

 

A window without glass

Sundays without mass

A cow that can't moo

Me without you.

By Aonghus, Geraldine, Ava,

Rachel, Keith, Shane

 

 

 

 

A pen without ink,

Eyes without a blink,

A sink without dishes,

A fishbowl without fish,

 

Alloys without tyres,

Flames without fire,

A floor without floorboards,

A skater without skateboard,

 

A dog without a head,

A matress without a bed,

A cat without a tail,

A hammer without a nail,

 

A book without pages,

A job without wages,

A garden without a wall,

Soccer without a ball,

 

A ring without a finger,

A bell without a dinger,

The sky without a cloud,

A hill without a mound,

 

A pitch without grass,

A church without mass,

A house without a loo,

Me without you.

 

By Stephen, Emmet, Cathal, Brian, Kevin and Louise
