My Mad Massive Mental Family

by Ruby Hall aged 10

WINNING POEM

First is my Grandpa, grumpy and a tad loopy,
Next comes Granny, dashing and dancing,
Then comes Gaggy, full of giggles and greatness,
After that is Gramps, a galloping grouch unless he’s golfing!
Grandpa Hughie is the diet coke and Jaffa cake king,
he makes us play cards until we win.
He is married to Granny Sarah, the ironing Queen

Next come my Aunties, they are completely crackers.
Aunt Doze is dozy like her name,
Aunt Craze spoils us with heaps of fun,
as for Aunt Juice she’s got a screw loose,
but I love them all the same, I have many more I can’t explain.

Now the Uncles!
Uncle Dave the farming fanatic,
Uncle Col the cool one,
Uncle Teddy the barmy barrister,
Uncle Boar Bore the boring one,

Now come my cousins, I have got ten of the fun friendly things,
Milly the dancer, Liv the jockey and Sophie the sports Queen.
Next comes Amy the organised one and Jim the joker,
Following on the spoilt ones.
Contrary Kitty, feisty Freddie and bouncing Bertie.
The babies come next,
Bonnie the basher (she likes to give you a good thump) and Hughie from Hong Kong.

Finally it’s my family,
Daddy the remote control king,
Mummy who’s mad,
Martha the monkey,
and me the pretty and perfect one!
