The Man who went Sleepy Mad (poem)

There was once a mad man,

Who slept in a can;

The can was too thin,

He slept in a bin;

The bin was too smelly,

He slept on a jelly;

The jelly was too wobbly,

He slept in a lobby;

The lobby was too big,

He slept in a wig;

The wig was too rough,

He said huff-puff!

Finally said the mad man,

I'd better go back to sleeping in a can!

Bake-a-Cake! (poem)

It's Sunday and I want to bake,
Well, let's bake a chocolate cake!

First let's take a really big bowl,
And put some flour, five tablespoons whole;

Now break three eggs in,
And then with a blender, mix and spin;

In then go, some cocoa and baking powder,
The blender now spins, faster and louder;

Now put some butter, then, sugar, oil and milk,
And whisk till the batter, is smooth as silk;

In one corner, a baking dish is waiting,
And in the other, some chocolate I'm grating!

The batter is now, in the microwave oven,
The smell engulfs my house like music of Beethoven!

The timer is up,
The cake comes out;
My tongue goes slurp,
And I'm dancing all around!

The Poopy Cycle! (poem)

Potty seems everywhere,

Fart is in the air!

Tummy is swelling,

Bum is smelling!

Prrr Bhush Poof!!!

The sounds of fart;

Making a new sound every time,

Is such an art!

I go to the loo,

To pee and poo;

Then I pull the flush,

And water comes out in a gush!

The tummy that was tight!

Now feels so light!

I have now put on my dungaree,

And I'm back in the kitchen feeling all so hungry!
