If...



IF I found,
a great fat spider,
Sneaking in my bed,
I would get
a great big hammer,
And hit it on the head,

And IF a mouse
came in my house,
And invited
its friends for tea,
I would poison
all the cheese,
then laugh quite cheerfully,

IF some slugs
were on my rugs,
And snails
were watching telly,
I would squash them
with my foot,
Inside a great big wellie,

And IF I found
a cheeky frog,
Trying to eat my stew
I would smack
it's little bum,
then flush it
down the loo,

Or, IF a bat
ate my hat,
And peed upon my floor,
I would pull
its wings off
And throw it
out the door,

But..... if a 'MOTH'
flew by my eye,
Or on my table cloths,
I'd scream
my bloomin' head off,
....cos I'm scared to death of moths!




Author notes

I wouldn't really do any of those cruel things to any animal. I only wrote that for the poem... But I definitly would scream at the moth.

    Excellent

    Wow, this is amazingly funny! Great job.

    Obviously, I wouldn't condone any kind of cruelty to animals, but then, snails hijacking your television... that's a different story! LOVED the frog stanza.

    I enjoyed this very much, and I was so glad that you gave it the punchline it deserved. Good luck in the contest, rival

    David.

    Great rhythm and rhyme in these lines - fun for all kids and big kids to read. Liked the flow and the funny images this brings to mind. Way to go with a gold and a bronze for this poem.

    And laugh quite cheerfully,

    Hmmm... *scratching chin* I wondered why there were so many of those little devils together at the same time. It's tea and cheese you say? Very funny write. A little cruel, but so long as its tounge in cheek, funny.
