Competition Entry

“Bang”
Everyone was scared
I hid in a hole in the ground
My nose could smell smoke
Then I closed my eyes
Dreaming that I would be safe and sound
After I made a wish that I would survive

Next I peeped to see if they were there
Of course they were here
As scared as a fly that’s about to get squashed
Luckily they didn’t spot me
Thank goodness I made that wish

All of a sudden I had a lightbulb moment
It was an escape idea
I got up
And told everyone my idea
I went to the Barbarians

Next I distracted them by annoying them
The Barbarians followed me into a house
With the key I locked the Barbarians in
Everyone went out of the camp
If we’d taken any longer we would have been caught

Read about Shakespeare
He’s one of a kind,
Coming up with words
You may not find
In a dictionary, thesaurus, your brain or online,
But his work will never be as good as mine!

He’s dead famous too… literally
He died years back; his work inspires me
But he’s still writing now in heaven above
I know cause I’m this wonderful man;
this was written with love…

Everyone always seems to forget what things were like 100 years ago.
But sometimes I sit and wonder what people used to do.
Did cruel teachers beat you and make you black and blue?
I wonder what they played for lots of different games.
Did they play leap frog or had that not been invented yet?
Or did they sit and think of all the things they could do?
What would they do if they ran out of food?
Would they run away or would they sit and stay?
I wish I could see what it was like when children had maids and parents didn’t care!
But I think I’ll just stick to now.
Oh, I wonder what it was like a hundred years ago.

The Romans were a real nasty bunch
Had loads, and I mean loads, of money
Often went to battle
For serious matters
Or at least I think so

They were quite “The Show Off”
If you know what I mean
You would hopefully agree.

Don’t let them see this or…

“ATTACK!!!” Shouted the leader. “After them!”
“We shall zmover dem” the Huns cried back
Within a blink I saw blood coming from my arm
Next I saw the brown mud and green grass
I cried, knowing death was to come

At one moment I saw fireworks or even missiles
I then floated in the sky, wait I’ve gone too far
Next I started rolling
Now if you were me you would be surprised,
I’m not dead already

I stopped when I hit a big black leather boot
Obviously there was a foot in the shoe
Which made me not need the bathroom anymore
I didn’t know what to expect,
When I saw a gorgeous young girl wearing the boots

The Romans were a bad bunch
The Vikings were a mad bunch
The Romans conquered here and there
They really conquered everywhere!
The Vikings had some weird beliefs
They say we came out of the stink
of a giant’s armpit
So, as you can see,
The Romans were a bad bunch
The Vikings were a mad bunch

Oh!
The prehistoric times!
I wondered about the the Stone Age
every day and night.
By the way?
Did they sleep in beds like today?
Oh what were Romans?
Did they fight?
Or did they bite?
Did Archimedes burn them with light?
It’s all a mystery to me!
Because it’s all old of coursey.

We are Viking Warriors,
We fought lots of battles,
Our greatest battle was when we attacked Lindisfarne
and then soon settled in England
but we had to fight the Anglo-Saxons,
soon we were taken over by the Normans
and were long forgotten.

THEY SHOWED NO MERCY!
THEY HAD A MIND-BLOWING EMPIRE
THEY HAD LOST LEAST BATTLES
HAD THE MOST COUNTRIES
THEY WERE VERY CLEVER
HAD AWESOME WEAPONS
GOOD INVENTORS
THEY INVENTED BATHS, TOILETS, WEAPONRY AND ARMOUR
JULIUS CAESAR CONKED THEM ALL!!!

The Egyptian gods were alive long ago,
but then they died.
How? I don’t know know!
Oh, please someone tell me!
I’ve been wondering, how?
Oh, please tell me!
I bow!
If anyone could tell me, who would it be?
Oh please, oh please tell me!
