Listen to me read some of my poems on this fabulous site!
Hey! Poems are fantastic fun,
I've written lots, and here is one,
It's short and yet somehow it's long,
Now read it, if you think I'm wrong!
Geraldine Giraffe
The
longest
ever
woolly
scarf
was
worn
by
Geraldine
Giraffe.
Around
her
neck
the
scarf
she
wound
but
still
it
trailed
upon
the
ground.
Tonguetwisters, too, I like a lot, They tie your tongue into a knot!
Here's two I wrote for you to test Good luck! I wish you all the best!
Willoughby the Wallaby
I want to be a wallaby,
A wallaby like Willoughby,
When will I be a wallaby
Like Willoughby the wallaby?
To end with, here's a funny rhyme Please read it if you've got the time!
Toboggan
To begin to toboggan,
first buy a toboggan,
But don't buy too big a toboggan.
(A too big a toboggan is not a toboggan to buy to begin to toboggan.)
Auntie Agnes's Cat
My Auntie Agnes has a cat.
I do not like to tell her that
Its body seems a little large
(With lots of stripes for camouflage)
Its teeth and claws are also larger
Than they ought to be. A rajah
Gave her the kitten, I recall,
When she was stationed in Bengal.
But that was many years ago,
And kittens are inclined to grow.
So now she has a fearsome cat -
But I don't like to tell her that.
