Old Stephen

by Sizhe aged 9

Old Stephen is peculiarly odd
Because he eats cake with cod
He also says that cars are ugly
And he also finds clocks funny

His brain is becoming a little bit old
And when it’s hot he says it’s cold
His age is surprisingly 159
How did he survive? It’s been such a long time

He has pet leaves on his bed
And he also keeps peanuts and then turns them red
He eats sausages with macaroni
And he says newspapers are full of baloney

Stephen has a basket full of chicken’s eggs
And he also has a box full of chopped-off legs
He snacks on onions and he uses typewriters
And he uses Tippex to make his white shirt whiter

This weird man is super weird
He also has a 35 foot long beard
He wears suspenders and he collects toenails
And he also hangs his teddy on clothes rails
