“Who spilled the rainbow?” by James Aitchison

Who spilled the rainbow?

Who turned it upside down?

Now all the colours

Are messed up on the ground.

It must have been some silly bird

Not watching where it flew –

It brought the rainbow

Crashing down

In a shower of goo.

“ The erky-perky bird” By James Aitchison

I saw the erky-perky bird
flying through the sky.
I saw the erky-perky bird
had only got one eye.
It did an erky-perky from  
high up in the sky.
But when it circled back again,
I saw its second eye!
The moral of the story's clear:
Do not be misled.
The erky-perky bird has 
eyes both sides its head.   

“A Nonet in Celebration of Worms”

Of all the living creatures yet found,

In the air, the sea or the ground.

There are none quite like the worm.

They squiggle and they squirm.

They live in the earth.

For what it’s worth.

I like them…

On toast.

Yum!
