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
