Thanks for sending all the poems in – it was fun reading them all. I am sending a copy of The Treasury to Gabriella.
Extra thanks to Churton Park School for sending all the pop popping poems in! I loved them.
Paperclip
(a reply to Elizabeth Smither’s “The Stapler”)
Paper clips are nice to paper
not like any nasty staple
Can hold a lot of paper
5 or 6 its favourite number
Wants to end the staple families.
Paper clips can connect and bend
They are paper’s best friend
Easy to collect with a magnet
Never tears or rips the paper
Paper clips are best, not staples

The scissors
As in response to ‘The stapler’ by Elizabeth Smither
What a ferocious beasts are scissors
With blades that ruin knickers
They do not like to feed on snickers*
They do not like large rocks
They must have two sheets at least
Or else they can’t be deceased
They prefer more at least four
As when you cut up a story.
*as in the chocolate bar

Note: There are ones similar, but these are all my ideas. By the way I put deceased there as in getting worn out.
The Scissors
In Response to Elizabeth Smither’s ‘The Stapler’
What a strange beast are a pair of scissors
With sharp blades that ruin pictures
They have an appetite for stickers
They do not like cardboard
Over time the things it can cut
Begins to be not as much
It does not care how many sheets
It will tear up your story

Wiggly Wiggly
Wiggly, Wiggly,
Do the harlem
Wiggle a jellyfish,
Touch a marlin.
Wiggly, Wiggly,
Bend a worm,
Twist a leg,
Squirm a berm.
Wiggly, Wiggly,
Twist a head,
Break a led,
¨Oh! No!¨ he said
Wiggly, Wiggly,
Kiss a frog,
Buy a dog
Climb through fog.

To Joy Cowley
Muddly Muddly,
Feed a horse,
Give it a tomato,
Make a sauce,
Eat it up,
With some paws,
Put it down,
On the floors,
Feed a horse
Muddly Muddly,
Feed a dog,
In it’s bowl,
Feed it hogs,
Eat them up with,
Some Hogs,
Muddly Muddly,
Feed a Dog
Muddly Muddly,
Feed a cat,
Stuff it,
Inside a hat,
Tip it out onto,
A mat,
Muddly Muddly,
Feed at Cat

Free
for Robin Hyde (inspired by ‘The Last Ones’)
Galloping along wild prairie
Paddling through the cool waters of the lake
Resting under a weeping willow
Braving the fierce winds of the desert
Soaring through grasses
Mane and tail billowing
To be wild
To be free
