Limerick by “Sioban Timmer”
Leave a commentThere once was a postie called Progge
Who had a most wonderful dog
It could carry more letters
Than fifteen red setters
And he never got lost in the fog!

who just loved to eat cold tinned spaghetti.

When I'm eating licorice.
My lips are black,
My gums are slack,

“Wish for wings” by Stephanie Boase
Leave a commentWish for wings, oh, little bird
sitting in the tree.
Why do you sit there
looking at me?
The sun is shining,
the air is clear.
Is that another bird’s
song you hear?
You cock your head
and listen with care
then flutter away,
soft wings on air.
I wish that I
had wings like you
to glide on the breeze
through the sky so blue.
