Aunty Aliyah’s Family

by Julia Rutherford Fernandes aged 12

Auntie Aliyah’s armpits are absolutely absurd,

Gentle Jake juggles jiggly jars of jam,

Talkative Tyler tastes tangy truffles,

Little Leo licks a lemon lolly pop,

Dramatic Dylan drives in decorative dungarees with a dozen dirty Dalmatians,

Under a sunny, sapphire sky, sizzling Summer
sleeps soundly in sinking sand since slobbering over a salty salmon sandwich.
