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?

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.)

To end with, here's a funny rhyme

Please read it if you've got the time!

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.

To see more rhymes, just take a look

At this big full-of-nonsense book
