The Journey to Europe

by Sizhe aged 9

I’m from America going on a journey
To Europe so please donate some European money
I have my flight ticket to England
I will go on the beach and play on the sand

I’m on the plane sitting still
The dinner just arrived, it was a sweet barbecue grill
After that I watched some TV
About an old lady being stung by a bee

Then the lights on the plane turned pitch black
I didn’t think the plane was going on track
Then the lights came back on
And now I’ve finally found my chocolate bon bons

I went to sleep on my seat
I am starving, I just want to eat
I just woke up and breakfast has arrived
If I didn’t eat I might’ve just died

We are landing at the airport
Right next to the city basketball court
I collected my luggage and headed on out
I literally don’t know what I was so worried about

I am taking a coach to my fancy hotel
It had a hot tub and even a bell
The food there was extraordinary
I ate a few waffles with a couple of berries

I met my family at the mall
Next to the shop with the neon green wall
We went shopping and had lots of fun
We went to the cafe and ate some sticky buns

After that we went to the park
My shoes had ripped so we went to Clarks
I picked out a snazzy pair of dark blue trainers
Then we ordered lunch in a container

We ate a truckload of pasta
The reason we did that was so we could play faster
After lunch we went to the fun fair
I played an arcade game and shot a pear

England was awesome it was nice
Especially the delicious English curry and rice
Now it’s time to go back to America I’m so sad
But when I was in England I was glad

I boarded the plane and sat down
I watched some TV with a frown
If I ever come back here
I’ll let the rest of my family try some American beer

    Message to Bob the Builder. Good morning. You sent in some poems in which you said you were 21. If that is the case, then you are too old to be sending poems, and your comments will be carefully monitored. If you are under 18, which I think you are, then why not choose a more sensible name and send in poems and comments as your own age. I’m very happy to have you here.
