Hockimoo's Mum
Hockimoo knew
That his Mum knew
That he knew
That she knew
That his name was Hockimoo
But Hockimoo knew
That his Mum knew
That he knew
That his Mum
Was an alien
And then Hockimoo knew
That his Mum
Looked a bit like this:
She had a triangular mouth
Three pink snouts
Grabbing little children
And eating them.
She had six circle eyes
With little men
Jumping out of them
Snake hair and weird fingers
So when she picked things up
Her fangs came out
She had an elephant's head
A kangaroo's legs
A lion's body
And a crocodiles tail.
I told my Mum
That I knew
That she knew
That I was human.

In my house we have chips loads
Pizza and chips go well with
Sausages

Night-time
Tired, I slumped sleeping on the bed
Sighing out the day,
Yawning out the troubles of the day.
By my face, the warm cat curls and sleeps, tickling,
The shadows dance on the curtains,
And silent sleep tiptoes to my pillow.
Relaxing drifting noises fill the room,
Peaceful owls tu-whit tu-whoo at distant stars
As I slip finally peaceful to snoring sleep.
Midnight explodes with evil nightmares,
Crashing through the window, disturbing, petrifying,
Screaming vampires, blood-sucking eys of sickening dead people
Dark evil mind-blasting monsters screeching
As squeaky geeky bats, hovering,
Laugh at the howling foxes.
I desperate twisting dreams
Creepy pyjamas sweat on the bed of squashed spiders wriggling
I leap into waking,
Scream at the scary shadows
Look for the deadly witches at the window
But no-one comes.
Silence.
The moon shimmers,
The stars shiver.
In the garden a spiky hedgehog shuffles.
In the distance nightclub music blasts.
And silent sleep tiptoes back and carries me off
Once more, to the warm relaxing wonderland
That holds me safe until morning.

Sad Poem
Some happy times I won't forget
When Granny died I was very upset
I used to see her every day
But now I can't, 'cause she's gone away
I see her picture in my hand
My perfect grandma
That picture has faded now away
That picture from my head
The vision has faded away
But her heart will always stay
Stay in my soul
I remember the times she came for tea
And when she brought sweets for me
The frame of heart she had was
Too dear and
Too kind
The Gran I had, died for me
Her candle burned out
Her legend will live
Bye bye Granny
From your
Grandson
Shopping list
I went to the supermarket and bought
1 very orange orange
2 cans of stylish hairspray
3 packs of hubabubba bubblegum
4 groovy magazines
5 jumping sausages
6 cans of fizzy lager
7 popping poppa pop-corn
8 lovely cash machines
9 pairs of purple pants
10 pairs of snazzy sunglasses
I love going to the supermarket
I hope next time you join me too.
Dudley Zoo
I went to Dudley Zoo and saw:
1 pink pot-bellied pig
2 slimy slithery scaly snakes
3 giggly googly goats
4 hippy hoppy hedgehogs
5 dirty disgusting ducks
6 tiny tiddling tickling tigers
7 busy bellowing bears
8 kicking kanging kangaroos
9 clever clinging clumping crocodiles
10 enormous eating elephants
That was my trip to Dudley Zoo
I hope next time you will join me too.
