Mermaids and Monster Trucks
Monster Truck Boys, Monster Truck Boys
they love to drive their Monster trucks.
Mermaid Girls, Mermaid Girls
swimming with the dolphins
go the Mermaid Girls.
Mermaid Girls and Monster Truck Boys
Now they go to school
Could there be a duel?
Mermaid Girls watch the Monster Truck Boys.
Monster Truck Boys watch the Mermaid Girls.
Mermaid Girls, Mermaid Girls
super diving Mermaid Girls.
Monster Truck Boys, Monster Truck Boys
super driving monster trucks.
Mermaid Girls and Monster Truck Boys
They’re playing at magic school
which has a friendly rule.
Mermaid Girls can play with Monster Truck Boys.
Monster Truck Boys can play with Mermaid Girls.
Mermaid Girls talk to Monster Truck Boys.
Monster Truck Boys talk to Mermaid Girls.
Soon Monster Truck Boys
like swimming in the sea.
They’re jumping and bumping
in the sea.
Now Mermaid Girls
like driving monster trucks
as if they’re giant seals.
Mermaid Girls and Monster Truck Boys
They’re all cool
And they all love school
Their friendships are like jewels.
Monster Truck Boys, Monster Truck Boys
swimming with the dolphins
now they’re Mermaid Boys.
Mermaid Girls, Mermaid girls
Super driving, super dreaming
Now they’re Monster Truck Girls.

EDUCATORS NOTE: This poem was originally written as a song, to be performed by Monster Truck Boys and Mermaid Girls in a prep to grade two composite classroom. It was to gently encourage them to try different games and not stereotype themselves but also so they could just have fun. I recommend to teachers who have the talent to write poems and songs for their pupils to do so as it enriches the classroom experience.
