Mumbo Jumbo-Poem

Mumbo Jumbo is his name

He loves playing lots of games

And he really is my friend

So on him I can depend.

He's got two great big ears

And a trunk that really curves

So he can reach the trees

With such grace and ease.

But he doesn't go to school

As he's broken all the rules

He knocked down their big gates

And scared off all my mates.

He shocked my teacher white

Oh he gave her such a fright

When he sat down in a chair

She told the class "Beware!"

But I like Mumbo Jumbo

And he really doesn't grumble

As he's happy to be here

And I'll always want him near.

My elephant.

My Big Adventure-Poem

This morning when I woke

I decided that today

I would have a big adventure

Exactly where I lay.

So I pulled up the duvet

And dived underneath

It was dark and it was warm

There beneath my sheets.

I got out my torch

(As all explorers do!)

And crawled deep below

To where, I had no clue

And way down there

With my torch I did go

And I found something strange

Scratched my head, I didn't know...

...what it was I had found

Way down here all alone

It was soft, it was smooth

Could it be my dressing gown?

I'd lost that last week

I'd looked high, I'd looked low

But on my big adventure

I found it down below!

My Cousin Fred-Poem

He came, he saw, he trashed my room,

He pushed, he shoved, he broke a broom!

He sniffed, he snarled, I stood stock still,

He biffed, he bashed, my drink did spill!

He mumbled, he grumbled, he kicked my door,

He grunted, he groaned, he stamped on the floor!

He's evil, he's mean, but I like him this way,

It's funny when my cousin Fred comes to stay!

He's trouble, he's bad, but it works out for me,

His thrashing and bashing just fills me with glee!

As my mum and dad think that Fred's the bad egg,

So I can be naughty and blame him instead!

THE SUN-Poem

Don't you think the sun is bright?

I wonder where it goes at night?

Does it sleep or does it hide?

Or is the moon its other side?

Does it hide behind the hills?

Late at night as outside chills?

Do you think it needs to rest?

From all that warming it does best?

Could it even have a home?

Maybe in London or even in Rome?

Or does it just float around?

Moving slowly from town to town?

Yes, I think it must do that!

After all the earth's not flat.

So the sun goes round and round

Spreading sunshine on the ground!
