STUFF

sleep sleep sleep
quick Santa’s coming
he fills up stocking
you leave out mince pie and carrots
ho ho ho

it’s a jolly time
presents (if good)
Santa says ho ho ho
get to sing songs
la la la la
best bit? no school

Birthdays here and there
Wonder what it will be
Comes round quickly
Ends quickly

Cakes and candy
Lots of things to eat
Treats don’t last
But some do

Next comes Christmas
Where has the time gone?
There are carols
But first shopping

Crackers to be pulled
Jokes are to be told
Christmas trees are put up
Then Christmas dinner

Winter is round the corner
That means Christmas
Stockings are filled
Go to sleep

Santa’s been
Children open presents
Sweets are eaten
Crackers are opened

Jokes are told
Some laugh
Some don’t
Some don’t get it

A pearly, shimmering blanket covers the city floor
I dash on my coat, hat and gloves and fix a holly upon my door
I grab the snow and create a charming snowman with a broad beam
I then head back to the house for my hot chocolate topped with whipped cream
I watch the snow fall onto my parents car
Then glance at the Christmas tree with a golden, glistening star!

Zero degrees,
Christmas trees,
Noses red from the freezing breeze,
Santa calling,
Children snoring,
Stockings being opened on Christmas morning,
Sheets of snow,
Christmas lights glow,
Reindeer gazing at houses below,
Christmas cheer,
The jingle of reindeer,
Santa Claus is on his way!
In his magical sleigh.

WINNER

Ostrich feathers on her hat
A coat from leopard skin
Collar and sleeves from real bear fur
On her waist a belt of snakeskin.

Ivory rings dangle from her ears
Real corals around her neck
She clutches her crocodile purse
Sheep fur boots on her legs

Carrying the world and its continents
Tropics, poles and seas
Mrs. Posh Ruthless kills to dress
And happily dresses to kill.

Her ignorance and vanity
Makes poachers greedy and cruel
In rain forests, highlands, rivers and reefs
Threatening species to death.

Every living creature belongs to this world
For the present and the next
So learn to value, Mrs. Posh
Or it will be too late.

WINNER

The animal that needs care
is a bear
(and all the others).

Especially a turtle
(so stop throwing plastic in the sea).

Talking about plastic…
STOP ENDANGERING ME!

Because I have a secret
I am an… animal

Can you guess which one?
I bet you can’t.

I am a…
