Whoops!
Leave a commentWhoops!
William Hopper was a flea,
He hopped high as high could be.
Oh no William hopped too high –
On a pigeon passing by!
Pigeon flicked him off mid-air,
Splat went William everywhere

Prompt #4 Acrostic week
Leave a commentAcrostic week here we go
Could you give it a shot?
Reach within
Oh remember the first letter of each line
Spells out a word
Try something new
Imaginative and incredible
Can you email to:
poemoftheday.jaxton@gmail.com
We will each week for a time have a different style of poetry to showcase. If you have never tried a certain type how about giving it a go?
Thankyou for your contributions
Jeanie
And incase you were wondering where the word Acrostic comes from read below for the answer.
The Frog’s Protest
4 CommentsThe Frogs’ Protest
“Frogs unite. It isn’t fair!
Come together everywhere!
Leave your puddles, ponds and pools:
Join the students in their schools!
Send their ears your loudest croak,
So they’ll learn it’s not a joke:
Giving a whole Year to Dogs!
What about we jolly Frogs?!”
Monty Edwards
Thoughts of a ‘Velcro’ Dog
5 CommentsThoughts of a ‘Velcro’ Dog
A wonder dog, an under dog,
an over dog, a rover dog.
A round about and through dog.
I’ll-find-a-way-that’s-new dog.
I really think it’s time you knew-
If I’m your dog I’ll be with you.
There’s simply nothing you can do-
If you go out I’m coming too.

Legs in the air with Teacher Notes
Leave a commentLegs in the air
What have you been eating Brock?
That is causing quite a stink
Was it green and red?
Or yellow, brown and pink?
What have you been eating Brock?
The smell is really bad
Was it a piece of carrot cake?
You stole from snoring Dad
What have you been eating Brock?
The whole house it does reek
Was it from the garbage bin
That’s been sitting there all week
What have you been eating Brock?
Your gastric juices churning
One whiff and we will leave the room
Today not be returning
Brock, your plan is very clever
As you work your inner gut
To get your favourite seat at home
You whistle out your butt
Jeanie Axton
This is Brock. Look at that grin.
Teacher Notes:
If you want to be slightly serious you could have a discussion about what causes flatulence in dogs. Types of foods to avoid etc
However if you can get hold of the book “ Walter the Farting Dog” and read to your class I guarantee you will have laughter. Here is a link to the book being read aloud on YouTube with great sound effects.
Have fun.
