Writing

In Room Twelve we have been writing limericks.  Here are our favourites.

There was a man who lived in a tree
He had to pay a very large fee
That he did pay
In a very odd way
That meant he didn’t have to flee

Once there was an itchy flea
That drank a big cup of tea
He jumped on a brick
And a boy flicked him on a stick
But because I drink tea he won't jump on me

There was a girl with a destiny to dream
People would say you couldn’t pay for butter or cream
One said “you have dainty hands”

But instead she became an acrobat high on the circus beams.

And with his very own eyes he saw
Something big
And smelled like pig
It was a eye shaped alien meteor.
