The screaming of excited children.
Footsteps going to the zoo.
The roar of the lion.
Chatter of parrots talking to one another.
Rustling of hay eaten by giraffes.
Trumpeting elephants stomping
The splash of jumping dolphins.
The snoring of the children
The tearing of the Christmas paper
The singing of people knocking on doors
The screaming of excitement
The munching of the Christmas dinners
The bang of Christmas crackers
Hello Christmas Day
The rubbing of Mrs Allen writing on the white board
The cries of Hannah when she can’t do work
The yawns of Owen in maths!
The creak of the windows when it’s windy
The swoosh of the paintings when Harry’s head hits them
The bang of Mr Cox fixing the wall
And the squeak of the white board pens in year 5.
The wailing of the ghost in the woods
The howl of the werewolves
The creak of the coffin lid as it opens
The cackle of the witch
The rattling of the skeleton falling down
The witche’s cat hissing in the dark
The zombie moaned when it ate someone
The cheering of the people.
The banging of crackers.
The barking of the dog.
The squealing of children.
The crunching of nuts.
The squeaking of the rocking chair.
The zipping of the girl’s new pencil case.
The crackling of fireworks.
The munching of hot dogs.
The screaming of millions of people.
The singing of people as a band plays music.
The whizzing of fireworks flying in the air.
The beeping of cars trying to get past the people.
The crunching of popcorn as people watch on television.
The crinkle of sweet wrappers in the sweet bowl
The crying of the children all so very cold
The shouting of kids saying TRICK OR TREAT?
The creek of the door opening- is there something to eat?
The tapping of foot steps, it sounds scary
The whispers of people wanting too see, but are they worthy?
The BOOM of the feet when children jump in the air and shout BOO!
The bang as the football hit the brick wall.
The screaming of the children.
The squeaking of whiteboard pens.
The grunting of all teachers.
The shouting of children having a blast doing sports.
The flicking of paper in school books.
The typing of computers.
Just to say
I have eaten
The licorice
Which you were
Probably saving
For when I was at school
Forgive me
It were so delicious
So sweet
So chewed
(after W.C. Williams)
