All Sorts Of Poems

by Heva Bashir aged 8

Caterpillars living on lettuce,
Are the colour of their host:
Look out, when you’re eating a salad,
For the greens that move most.

Close your mouth tight when you’re running,
As when washing you shut your eyes,
Then as soap is kept from smarting,
So will tonsils be from flies.

If in spite of such precautions,
Anything nasty gets within,
Remember it will be thinking:
‘Far worse for me than him. ‘

If in the middle of the night,
Your bedside tastes of cloth,
It means that possibly you might..
ACCIDENTALLY HAVE DRUNK A MOTH!

In summer it’s as well you should
Switch on the light before you sip,
For others that actually could,
Be taking their midnight dip.
