Six For The Children Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Six For The Children



1.Tug of War
Dog, snapping at foam
Waves chasing its leaping paws
Sea’s wet tug of war

2.The Taste of Summer
Pink globe on a cone
Ice on a hot tongue tingling
Summer goes so fast

3.The Cat’s Birthday
On our cat’s birthday I gave her a hat
A fish cake, a saucer of milk and a mat

She spat in my eye, she ate the fish
She jumped in the air and broke the dish


4.Sophie
Sophie is a little girl with very nasty habits
She feeds her collie caramels
And terrifies pet rabbits

She stole her granny dentures
And gave her grandpa fits
She put detergent in the soup
She gave her brother nits

And just this very Monday
Upon her trampoline
She bounced the neighbour’s baby
So she could hear it scream

But if you think she’s scarey
She’s not as bad as some
Yes, Sophie is a monster
But you haven’t met her Mum!


5.School Assembly Guest
We’re having a special guest today
She’s large and Scottish made
She’s partial to water and loves to swim
She works in the tourist trade

She’s a TV personality
Children, you’ll never guess
Put your hands together & give three cheers
For the Monster of Loch Ness


6.Where
Where do swallows go in winter?
Do they visit polar bears?
Do they hide in granny’s cupboard?
With the books beneath the stairs?

Where do thunder storms come from?
Are they just a cloud’s brass band?
Cymbals clash and drum rolls patter
Bringing raindrops to the land

Where does Mr Moon slip off to?
Is it true he’s made of cheese?
Where have all my daydreams hidden?
Help me find them, daddy, please!
