Holidays are Cool

Holidays are cool
Cause you get a break from school,
You can have so much fun
Especially in the summer sun.

Teachers are a bore
Even when I break the law,
But some can be okay
When I get ’em a bouquet.

This is our rap
We can say it in a snap,
In the rhythm of a beat
Where we can tap our feet.

The Whole World Is Big

by Anass The Boss aged 10

The whole world is big
and I don’t want a pig.
The whole world is fun
I would like to run.

Now you know about the world
but why is your hair curled?
Do you know why?
Why what? I’m going to cry!! 🙁

We can go to space
and find a nice place.
But before you go,
I have to admit that you’re slow.

You will need a rocket
and put this poem in your pocket.
But you have to understand!
I swear with my right hand.

The whole world is big
and I don’t want a pig.
The whole world is fun
I would like to run.

Laughing Stock

by Nubia aged 8 3/4

The laughing stock were as loud as thunder,
The laughing stock giggled and wriggled,
THE LAUGHING STOCK,
The laughing stock, so loud I couldn’t think a tiny bit,
The laughing stock, so bumpy, the large window shattered to pieces
THE LAUGHING STOCK,
The laughing stock were so tall and terrible I felt so small,
Laughing,stock Laughing stock, why so,different?
LAUGHING STOCK

Let Me Be Me

A magician gave me a magic lamp.
I rubbed it long and hard.

A genie came in a cloud of smoke
And handed me his card.

He said he could grant me three wishes
And give me my heart’s desire.

I wanted to believe him.
I was definitely inspired.

I am a ballerina who badly wants to be
Clara in the Nutcracker
For the audience to applaud and see.

No problem, said the genie,
As he whispered in my ear.

Put on your pretty, pink toe shoes
And Clara danced to cheers.

My best friend wanted to be Clara
She had worked so very hard.

She hung her head and cried
As she lifted her leg to the bar.

I run in 5K races
And asked for faster speed.

So I could beat everyone.
And finish in the lead.

Winning may be fun at first
But it became a curse.

Friends who train and train
Stopped running and complained.

I wished to become a famous artist
Who could draw and paint like Van Gogh.

The genie did one better
And people called me the second Picasso.

But no one in my art class wanted to draw with me.
It’s not fun to be famous without friends, you see.

So I stuffed the genie in the lamp and screwed the top on tight.
I screamed, “I don’t need more wishes, genie!”

Just . . let . . . me. . . be . . . me!

No Bank, No Prank

by Odunayo aged 9

I went up a hill
and had a little bill
but a duck said…
No bank
No prank
I left the hill
without my bill
and the duck kept saying…
No bank
No prank
Take some money
Ha ha ha
I mean take some honey
I thought it was money
not honey
And the duck said again
No bank
No prank
and then he ended
with 2 sentences
which were
No bank
No prank

And that’s that

Bunny Problems

0
by Madison D. aged 11

I have something hairy
And it rhymes with tummy
With nothing to deal with
And it is a Bunny

My Bunny is hoppy
With a problem
My Bunny always flops
With a bump

Oh, what would I do
For my bunny
Because when my bunny
Eats my honey
She likes to hop
When she has my honey

Great Friends

by Angelo aged 11

My friends are great.
They help make me laugh and even make me happy.
My friends never let me down.
or leave me on my own.
My friends are always with me no matter what.
So if you have a friend.
look over at that friend
and think of that friend as part of your family.

Surprises

Life you know,
is full of surprises.
Good ones, bad ones,
some with disguises .

If someone says, “Surprise”
don’t go off and wail
it doesn’t matter about the price,
’cause you can go and sail .
