The Snowky Pokey
(To the tune of Hokey Pokey)
You put your right mitten in
Your right mitten out
Your right mitten in
And you shake it all about
You do the snowky pokey
And you turn around
That’s what it’s all about
Repeat with
Trick or Treat?
Haunted houses,
Curdling screams,
Freezing bats, torn at the seams!
Full white moon,
Dripping candles,
Roaming forgetful zombie vandals!
Gnarled old trees,
Tossed in the breeze.
Cold ghosts shivering, knocking their knees!
Trick and treating,
From door to door,
Not enough sweets, I must have more!!!
Autumn
The green leaves are turning
To yellow, red and brown
And when the wind comes
Whistling by, they'll
all
come
sailing
down
Rainbow colours
Red for tomatoes,
Red for a rose,
Red for my socks
Pulled on my toes.
Orange for a mango,
Orange for a peach,
Orange for an orange
That is out of reach.
Yellow for melons,
Yellow for sun,
Yellow for buttercups
Picked one by one.*
Green for a meadow,
Green for the grass,
Green for a hedge
Where I must pass.
Blue for a bluebell,
Blue for the sea,
Blue for the sky
All around me.
Indigo for a grape,
Indigo for blueberry too,
Not quite violet,
Not quite blue.
Violet for heather,
Violet for a flower,
You’ll only get a rainbow
With sun and a shower.

World Book Day
Should I be a princess
for our school book day?
Or the wicked witch?
A thief from a play?
I could be a werewolf
or a shy mermaid.
Or maybe even
a night from the crusade.
I wore a furry suit
with flippers, wand and shall.
I simply couldn’t choose…
so I dressed as them all.
Crossing the street
Stop, look, and listen
before you cross the street.
Use your eyes and use your ears
before you use your feet.
Look to your left
then look to your right
and to your left once more.
You must be really careful.
That’s what rules are for!
