Poetry

Don’t

by Michael Rosen

Don’t do,
Don’t do,
Don’t do that. Don’t pull faces, Don’t tease the cat.

Don’t pick your ears, Don’t be rude at school. Who do they think I am?

Some kind of fool?

One day
They’ll say
Don’t put toffee in my coffee

Don’t pour gravy on the baby

Don’t put beer in his ear
Don’t stick your toes up his nose.

Don’t put confetti on the spaghetti and don’t squash peas on your knees.

Don’t put ants in your pants don’t put mustard in the custard

Don’t chuck jelly at the telly

and Don’t throw fruit at a computer

Don’t throw fruit at a computer.

Don’t what?
Don’t throw fruit at a computer. Don’t what?
Don’t throw fruit at a computer. Who do they think I am?
Some kind of fool?

Star:  Limerick

by Kaitlyn Guenther

There once was a wonderful star
Who thought she would go very far
Until she fell down
And looked like a clown
She knew she would never go far.
